The Wisconsin Heights Optimist Club of Mazomanie and Black Earth recognized District 1 EMT Director Jim Wick as their Volunteer of the Year for 2020. Unable to honor Jim at their April meeting as is customary, Heights Optimist President Sara Shackelton presented Jim with his certificate of appreciation at the EMS station this week.
Jim is a 36 year veteran of District 1 EMS service. Over the years he has given much of himself to the service, including recruitment, training, education, PR, and covering shifts not filled by EMT’s, or drivers. He often works beyond his required hours, and when covering the empty slots on the schedule, he doesn’t ask for anything in return. Jim works tirelessly for the people of District 1 (Mazomanie, Black Earth, and the surrounding area).
