If we were to ask John Weicht what he does for a living, I think there is every chance he <br /> would respond, "I am a builder and I have been a builder for life!" When we look more <br /> closely, indeed, John is a builder and has done so for many years, but this is not just his <br /> Profession and his materials have not been just -wood, steel and concrete. We members of <br /> The Hall of Fame Leadership Award Nominating Committee quickly carne to realize John <br /> Weicht is a builder of buildings. - But perhaps more importantly, John is a builder of so <br /> much more. <br /> Like John, I have lived my entire life in the Elk River Area, during these years, I have <br /> observed many who have given of their time and talents to certain organizations, to certain <br /> causes. Seldom, however, (perhaps never), have I known anyone who has given so much, so <br /> unconditionally to so many as John. <br /> John believes in the local economy and in demonstration of this belief, he has <br /> always done everything he can to keep his work projects as close to home as possible—most <br /> often staying within a 20 mile radius. <br /> Early in his tenure as a local businessman, John recognized the importance of the Elk <br /> River Area Chamber of Commerce and its potential for breathing vitality into the local <br /> economy. Over the years, he has been quick to volunteer many hours at Chamber sponsored <br /> events such as the Business Expo and the 0 of July Celebrations. In addition to this, he has <br /> served as a member of the Chamber Board of Directors and a member of various committees <br /> including the Chamber Ambassadors. <br />
