Ryder Ward and Stan Smith have been recognized as Lewis County’s outstanding adult and youth volunteers for the year 2024, earning them the prestigious “Governor’s Volunteer Stars Award.” This accolade is part of Tennessee’s premier volunteer recognition initiative, which aims to celebrate remarkable individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations across the state.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for February 16, 2025, and will take place at the Cool Springs Marriott Hotel in Franklin, where Governor Bill Lee will personally honor both Mr. Smith and Mr. Ward. This event will also acknowledge the Hohenwald team and numerous other volunteers from various regions of Tennessee, all of whom have made significant contributions to their communities through their selfless dedication and hard work.
