Unsung Hero Jeri Johnston and Meeting Recap

The Exchange Club honored Jeri Johnston as an Unsung Hero this morning for her work as creator of the Artists of Christian Talent (ACT) program at Lake Highlands Methodist Church in 1976, or some 39 years ago. She was nominated by club President Greg Duval.   About 2,500 area students have had the opportunity to participate in annual Broadway-style musicals at the church.  This year’s presentation is the Disney musical “High School Musical” which will open on February 13.  Jeri’s idea and foresight has resulted in a lasting legacy.  She and husband Bob are longtime Exchange Club members.
