Wise Receives Lifetime Achievement Award From Extension AssociationSandy Wise received the Lifetime Achievement Award during the Kosciusko County Extension Homemakers Achievement Night Wednesday.
Sue Martin, president of Kosciusko County Extension Homemakers Association, said Wise has given many hours and lots of service to the association.
Wise joined Extension Homemakers in 1985 and has held every position at least once, Martin said. She served as county president from 2001-02. She’s also a Master Gardner.
Wise said she joined Extension Homemakers to get out of the house.
