The Shawnee Chamber of Commerce bestowed the annual award Saturday night, at the chamber’s annual dinner.
Last year’s winner, city manager Carol Gonzales, spoke of goodness and generosity when describing the 2011 Citizen of the Year, Joe Vohs, a Farmers Insurance agent who donated his kidney in December altruistically via the National Kidney Registry.
“Through this selfless act and as a result of his generosity, three individuals have already been given the life-redeeming gift of a kidney … with more yet to come,” Gonzales said. “Giving someone not just a good start, but a new start, reflects a goodness that is nothing short of amazing. Shawnee is proud to call this amazing giver our own.”
