FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JoEllen Kauk Discipleship Award Announced
Picture
​ORANGE CITY, IOWA – 23 JAN 2018 - Presented by the Orange City Area ATLAS, Midwest Honor Flight President Aaron Van Beek has been awarded the JoEllen Kauk Discipleship Award.  The JoEllen Kauk Discipleship Award is presented to three recipients each year in memory of JoEllen's years serving as a mentor coordinator for ATLAS.  Prior to her death in 2009, JoEllen's life was dedicated to the same principles that ATLAS stands for: helping the hurting, equipping believers, and uniting the community.  Individual people or organizations are chosen for the Discipleship Award for upholding these same values and displaying a willingness to serve the community.  Van Beek has been chosen based on the leadership shown through the Midwest Honor Flight - bringing Veterans to see their memorials for honor and closure, reminding Americans what it means to be patriotic, and bringing together community members to work together to complete this goal.
In addition to the award, Orange City Area Atlas is hosting a Tip Night at the Orange City Pizza Ranch to help support Midwest Honor Flight.  This will be held on Monday, February 12 from 5:00 - 8:00 PM with the presentation taking place at 6:30 PM.
