>Civic Award Committee- Todd Lewis, Charlie Simon, Norv Gottula, James McKee, Michelle

Zimmerman and Larry Haltom served as the committee.  They presented the award to Joyce

Johnson.  Highlights from Joyce’s service:

As a long-time owner of the Pizza Niche, she employed a lot of students and taught them the importance of

work.  She always kept her business along Main Street very nicely decorated, which gave visitors to Cloverdale

 a good impression of downtown.  She was a long time member of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and

was very active in a lot of their activities.  She was an integral part of starting the Cloverdale Main Street organization

 and all of the successful projects that they have completed.  She has always been very involved in her church, including

 taking an active part in the Ladies Guild and by serving as a religious education teacher for many years.  She has been

 a big supporter of many of the Cloverdale Lions Club projects by volunteering for projects such as Adopt-A-Highway,

working the food booths at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and helping with the pre-school photoscreening project. 

Other past activities include being an original member of the Cloverdale Business association, serving on the board of the Putnam County Food Pantry and being a volunteer worker of the Johnson -  Nichols Health Clinic.  She also has volunteeredas a “Lunch Buddy” at the Cloverdale Elementary School and is currently a volunteer for the Advocate Hospice program.  Mrs. Johnson has reached out to help in many ways.
