Kim Smith certainly met all the criteria as a Coleman recipient and will join the names of twenty-seven previous recipients on a plaque that is prominently displayed in the Chamber Office.

 

The Coleman Award is a prestigious honor that is bestowed upon a worthy recipient each year. Kim has a strong commitment to her country, family, education, and community. She has volunteered countless hours of service to the Metcalfe County Homemakers, Bowling Park, Methodist Church, Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce, and the Metcalfe County Schools.
