KIWANIS CLUB OF CARTHAGE NAMES GARY WADDELL CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

KIWANIS CLUB OF CARTHAGE NAMES GARY WADDELL CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

 

Carthage, IL – Tuesday, March 01, 2022 – The Kiwanis Club of Carthage is thrilled to announce that Gary Waddell has been chosen as Carthage’s 2021 Citizen of the Year. 

In a recent surprise ceremony, Waddell, surrounded by his family and friends, was presented this great honor. Waddell was nominated and chosen as Citizen of the Year for his incredible work both professionally and through his volunteerism.  Gary Waddell protected the citizens of Carthage for 31 years through his work in law enforcement and also served as Carthage’s Chief of Police. 

Waddell is also constantly involved in community projects and volunteer opportunities such as 2x4’s For Hope, an organization that helps build homes for homeless and at-risk veterans. Waddell was even integral in building the first tiny home in Carthage through these efforts. Gary Waddell also spearheaded the involvement of Pink Heals in the Carthage area. Pink Heals, known for its pink firetruck, is an organization which raises funds and awareness for those in need, especially those who have suffered or are suffering from cancer.

It’s clear through his continued service that Waddell strives to give back and improve his community whenever possible. The Kiwanis Club of Carthage is therefore incredibly proud to name Gary Waddell as the 2021 Citizen of the Year.
