Book of Golden Deeds Award
This exclusive Exchange Club program honors the quiet, good deeds of America's unsung heroes. The woman who regularly donates her time to care for disadvantaged children—the man who voluntarily instructs disabled persons in some skill or craft— these are the kinds of exceptional individuals that the Book of Golden Deeds Award aims to recognize. These uncommon men and women exist in every city and town and, if not for this project, might never receive the acclaim that they deserve. This program is easy to implement and extremely satisfying once accomplished.

Mr. Paul Michler
**June 12th - Book of Golden Deeds Award**
The 2007 Book of Golden Deeds Award was presented to member Paul Michler on June 12. Due to great planning by Golden Deeds committee members, Rose and Dave Schneider, Paul was completely surprised as family members and friends entered the Elks dining room to honor a man who lives and breathes "Exchange". Dave Schneider recalled Paul's volunteer work from the past including Galloway House, Jazz Festival, IAC, Walleye Weekend and FDL City Council. As an Exchange member for the past 56 years, Paul had a major part in the undertaking of Exchange Projects including the clock tower at City County building, Petting Zoo, Freedom Shrines, BMX Club House, airport sign, giveakidaflagtowave program and much more.
Letters of recognition were read from Joann Ward and Congressman Tom Petri. Paul was presented an American Flag from Congressman Petri and a Golden Deeds Plaque.
Dinner and Entertainment by Gerry and Sandy Scudella completed a fitting tribute to Paul.
Thanks to Rose and Dave Schneider for all the planning and work done to remember this special night!
