Erie, PA WWME Couple Recognized for Making a Difference

Mark & Joyce Kulyk

Dan & Kathy Dahlkemper of WWME-Erie, Pa are the 2007 recipients of "The Helping Hands Award" presented by Catholic Charities of the Erie Diocese. They were selected for their generous commitment to help improve their Church and their Community.

Dan & Kathy Dahlkemper

Both as individuals and as a couple, Dan & Kathy have contributed in many ways over their 24 years of marriage. They've been involved at their parish, St. Jude Church; dedicated to WWME for over 13 years; frequently volunteered at the schools of their five children; developed and manage the Lake Erie Arboretum (LEAF) at Frontier Park, Erie; work together in their landscape architecture business; and have served on numerous committees and boards both locally and on the state level, including Kathy's membership on the Board of Trustees of the Erie Community Foundation, and Dan as a Board member of the Governor's Residence Preservation Committee, Harrisburg, PA.

The award was presented during the Annual Catholic Charities Ball. During their acceptance, Dan & Kathy first lovingly thanked their own parents (all present) for their examples of giving back to the community. Then they thanked their children for their patience. They concluded by specifically crediting WWME as the reason they are happy and successful in all of their projects. Without the love and understanding support of one another, they could not do all that they do. Then they made a passionate invite to all attending to go to a WWME Weekend!

Congratulations, Dan & Kathy! We love you, Mark & Joyce Kulyk
