Freemasons from Waukesha Masonic Lodge (No. 37) presented Ralph Zick, Executive Director of the Hope Center in Waukesha, its annual Andy Kallin Award for outstanding community service at a recent Past Master’s Dinner.
Mr. Zick has been involved with the Hope Center, located in downtown Waukesha, for the past 17 years. The Hope Center serves the homeless and other families in need, in and around the Waukesha area, with free meals, clothing, as well as furniture to help improve their daily lives.
Brother Dan Miller, Master of Waukesha Lodge, stated, “Our members chose Mr. Zick as this year’s recipient for his unwavering commitment in addressing the critical needs of those less fortunate in our community.”
The Andy Kallin Award was established in 2007 in memory of Brother Andy Kallin, a Waukesha County Supervisor and member of Waukesha Lodge. Brother Kallin, exemplified the true spirit of outstanding community service. This award is given annually to an individual in the Waukesha community who best reflects Andy Kallin’s inspiration.
