John has been an active volunteer on the Lake Orono Sedimentation Task Force,the Lake <br /> Orono Improvement Association and the Sherburne County Water Board. <br /> John has always been of the opinion that many of our young people are at risk and as a result <br /> of this,they simply need a"leg up", a little guidance, a smile, a helping hand. <br /> Throughout the years, John and Sandy's children were students attending District 728, John <br /> helped with coaching, videotaping choirs, drama groups, athletic events, co-chairing and <br /> supervising at all night graduation parties, etc. And, of course any time there was need for <br /> help from someone with building expertise for sets or props, John was the first to be called <br /> and the most willing to participate. <br /> As a result of his concern for youth, in addition to his church work, work at the schools and <br /> work through various Lion's committees, he was a long time board member for the Land of <br /> Lakes Choirboys. <br /> Working with them as they acquired property, built a building, raised funds and expanded <br /> their base. <br /> John was one of the first to become involved in our local Boys and Girls Club Chapter. Not <br /> only serving on their board, but being the major driving force in planning their facility and <br /> doing whatever it took(including donating his entire contracting fee ) to make the dream of <br /> this building become a reality. <br /> Most who know John,know of his dedication to those in our greater community who are less <br /> fortunate—this being evidenced in so many ways but particularly through his work with <br /> Options as they continue to provide workshops and vocational opportunities for the disabled. <br />
