Honeywell Arts & Entertainment Honors Volunteers at Annual Dinner
WABASH, IN – On Tuesday, April 22, Honeywell Arts & Entertainment held its annual volunteer recognition dinner at the Honeywell
Center. The event honored over 100 volunteers who generously donated their time and contributed 12,274 hours in 2024 to support the
organization's various initiatives. This event is sponsored by Heartland REMC.
Honeywell Arts & Entertainment relies heavily on the dedication and support of its volunteers, who serve as theater ushers, festival
help, tour guides, landscaping assistants, and administrative support. These individuals play a vital role in ensuring that the
organization continues to offer exceptional programming and experiences to guests and visitors.
Roger Brown, House Operations Manager, conducted the night proceedings and welcomed the evening. Tod Minnich, Honeywell
Arts & Entertainment President and CEO, and Kyle Dubois, Honeywell Arts & Entertainment Chief Operations Officer, addressed the
group to express their gratitude for the volunteers striving to make Honeywell a world-class organization.
Joyce Rosel, 2023 Volunteer of the Year, announced the 2024 Volunteer of the Year, Karen Huber. Huber was honored as 2024
Volunteer of the Year, and stated, “I have been ushering for about nine years and try to see something positive in each show. From
symphonies, magic shows, pageants, operas, award ceremonies, motivational speakers, country shows, acrobatics, musicals, ballets,
musicians, singers, and more — I love it all! I love ushering and helping our guests to have an enjoyable visit. When ushering, I like to
ask our guests where they are from and then, in turn, tell them about Wabash and the Honeywell Center or the Eagles Theatre. I love
to brag about our community, hoping they will return. Our Honeywell volunteers are like one big extended family; all are very caring and
concerned for one another. I have heard many times from other ushers that this is the best job that they have ever had, and I totally
agree!”
Following the Volunteer Dinner, attendees were treated to entertainment by hypnotist and motivational speaker, The Incredible Boris
Cherniak. Cherniak combined comedy with hypnotism for an evening of laughter, inspiration, and camaraderie.
