Local volunteer Detective Nick Esterline, Marion, was recently recognized for countless hours of service to the community during a Modern Woodmen of America member event on February 24, 2016.

Esterline was honored through Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program for his volunteer efforts as an Upward Basketball Coach and Marion Merchants Baseball for Youth Coach, his participation in the Marion City School’s Leader In Me Program, and his work for the Relay For Life team “Bark for Life”. Esterline has also volunteered his time to Modern Woodmen members by attending a chapter activity to pass out kid safety kits.

As part of the Hometown Hero Program, members of the Marion Modern Woodmen Chapter 6511 presented Esterline with a certificate and a $100.00 award grant to be donated to the charitable organization of the honoree’s choice. Esterline selected Safety City of Marion to receive the donation.

“Volunteers form the foundation of a strong community,” says Jeff Reed, local Modern Woodmen volunteer leader. “Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program gives us the chance to thank those who selflessly give their time to make the world a better place.”

Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, the fraternal financial services organization’s Summit chapters, chapters and youth service clubs provide opportunities for members to take part in social and educational activities and volunteer projects to meet local needs.
