April 2005 Hometown Hero: Lisa Grueneberg

It is with great pride that Lisa Grueneberg serves as president of the Madison-Monona Lioness Club. She chairs or co-chairs most fundraisers for the organization including Karmenta bingo nights. In addition, she spends September through July coordinating the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Waunakee, an important cause to Lisa after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. We salute Lisa for her dedication to civic and charitable organizations and for her ambition to make life better for others.

We all have the energy that can make a difference. The personal energy of volunteering touches lives and enriches our communities.

JEFFERSON AWARD

Their mission: to encourage individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service. By recognizing the work of volunteers through the Jefferson Awards, the Institute believes in can encourage others to get involved in their communities, and to discover inspiration in ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Each of our Hometown Heroes will receive a bronze Jefferson Awards medal for public service. And each year, one Hometown Hero will be chosen to travel to Washington, D.C., where their selfless devotion to public service will be recognized at the Jefferson Awards National Ceremony.
