The Frank Fetch Award was the brainchild of Fred Holdridge and Howard Burns in 1984. They felt it was necessary to recognize an individual for outstanding service to the German Village community. Appropriately, Frank Fetch was the first recipient of the award, which was quite timely, as he passed away six months later. The roster of recipients is a register of leadership, inspiration and beloved friends. The award will be presented on the evening of the Haus & Garten Tour, during the volunteer recognition dinner. The plaque which hangs in the Meeting Haus reads:
Frank Fetch Award
