Bp Christensen awards volunteer for work with the mentally handicapped

Bishop Peter F. Christensen makes a visit to Rhinelander and surprises a hard-working, local volunteer.

Christensen presented an award to Dennis Hermann, the president of Headwaters Incorporated in Rhinelander.

It's for distinguished service to the community after Hermann's many years of service at Headwaters. "Those that may have a little bit of a disability are challenged with life and how they're cared for with the community," Christensen says. "And a community that steps forward and cares for some of its weak members, weakest members, at times. It shows the heart of that community which is a wonderful thing."

Headwaters is a partner with the Catholic Charities Bureau.

The Bishop presented the award after the 26th annual Headwaters Charity Golf tournament in Rhinelander.
