Press Release from the Lima Exchange Club: The Lima Exchange Club held its annual “Youth of the Year” luncheon on Monday, April 4, 2022 at the Eagles Lodge on Robb Avenue.
Lima Senior High School senior Dalton Hahn was selected from a group of 9 Allen County seniors as the club’s 2022 Youth of the Year. This year nominated students were asked to submit an essay on the topic “The COVID-19 Pandemic drastically changed every aspect of our lives, in every way imaginable. Reflecting on what you learned during this time about yourself, your community and the world, explain how your perspectives on success, empathy, prioritizing, social inequalities, and leadership have been reshaped.” Dalton’s essay was judged the best of those entered by an independent panel of judges.
