The Anderson Noon Exchange Club held its 43rd Annual Red Haven Memorial Award on Tuesday, May 17th at the Edgewood Country Club. The award is named in honor of Orville “Red” Haven who was the sports editor of the Bulletin newspaper and a former president of the Noon Exchange Club many years ago. “Red” wrote about the accomplishments of the high school athletes on the field and also made note of their outstanding academic accolades and how they took time to give back to their communities and schools. It was those qualities that are sought in awarding the award in his honor.

Leah Steele, a senior at Lapel High School, is the daughter of Rob and Linda Steele of Lapel. Leah is a 6-sport, 17 letter athlete with letters in cross country, basketball, volleyball, track & field, football manager, and band. She is ranked 1st in her class of 88 students and will be graduating with academic honors and a 4.190 GPA.

Special guest speaker Kyle Morey, President and CEO of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce, challenged the seniors to think big and act big. “Challenge yourselves, said Morey, and go after what you want.”

Each Madison County High School nominated a candidate to represent their school for the Red Haven Award. The candidates were: Katie Muey, Alexandria, Jordan Eddy of Anderson High School; Derek Wells, Anderson High School; Allison Browning, Frankton High School; Leah Steele, Lapel High School; Erika Lindley, Liberty Christian; and, Molly Craig, Pendleton Heights High School.

Leah Steele of Lapel High School received a $500 scholarship from the Anderson Noon exchange Club and a $500 scholarship from the Herald Bulletin in honor of their former sports editor, Red Haven. Leah has received the 2011 Lilly Endowment Scholarship, Heart of the Bulldog Award, University Incentive Grant, Supplemental University Incentive Grant and will be attending Purdue on a full scholarship.

Mentor Initiative of Madison County hosting Round Table Discussion

Calling existing youth mentoring programs to the table to identify what mentors are doing in Madison County

Madison County, IN – United Way of Madison County and Anderson University will host a youth mentoring roundtable discussion Wednesday, March 30 at 3:30 p.m. at the Anderson University Community Partnership Center (Building A at West Campus Complex, adjacent to Park Place Church of God). Mentoring programs are urged to participate by contacting Daniel Wohlberg at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or at 765-641-3688. The event is free and refreshments will be served.

The recently established Mentoring Initiative of Madison County is a collaborative effort between United Way of Madison County and Anderson University and was formed to draw attention to the benefits of mentoring in our community. The initiative serves as a resource and support system to all programs and individuals engaging in youth mentoring.

Beyond training and on-going support for mentors and programs, Daniel Wohlberg, mentor coordinator, aspires to identify the collective effort and progress being made. “It’s hard to know exactly what is happening when the scope of mentoring is so broad. With such diverse mentoring efforts, the initiative would like to call all of those programs to a round table discussion. The hope is to bring that information together in one forum to identify the good work being done and any gaps that might exist.”

The Mentoring Initiative of Madison County is funded through a matching grant awarded through the Indiana Association of United Ways funded by the Lilly Endowment.

United Way of Madison County supports human services throughout Madison County, Indiana and is governed by a 24 member volunteer board of directors. The organization has been a member in good standing of United Way of America since 1973. For more information, contact 765-643-7493 or visit our Web site at www.unitedwaymadisonco.org.
