Phoenix Award of Spring 2012

For many years, at nearly every event held in this city, one citizen has been there to silently, and often thanklessly, ensure that the event goes off without a hitch. Working for the Horicon DPW, Buzz Vanderhei has been the backbone of this city, ensuring that the city’s facilities were ready for each event. The answer is never “No!” when you work with Buzz, and that is why when someone suggested we give Buzz a Horicon Phoenix Award, the answer is “Yes!” Dave Magnussen, Director of Horicon DPW adds, "Buzz Vanderhei is person who loves his work and his community. As an employer, you want all of your employees to dedicate themselves to their profession. Buzz is a great example to his fellow employees and the whole community on dedication to society." 

The Horicon Phoenix Program is grateful for the opportunity to say "Thank you!" to Buzz for his many years of service to Horicon and his generosity to his fellow Horiconites.
