Carolyn Bock - Auglaize County's 2007 Woman of the Year.

Carolyn Bock, Auglaize County's 2007 Woman of the Year, addressed the club and shared some of her personal story and philosophy.  She is a resident of New Knoxville Ohio.

Carolyn was chosen for the award for her exceptional work within the community and for putting other people's needs ahead of her own.  An example of her giving nature is that in 2006, she donated a kidney to a close friend, Jean Hunt.

Carolyn spoke humbly of the award and her experiences, but most importantly shared how everyone can do great things in their own way.  Her speech was very motivational and to augment her message, she showed an excerpt from the movie "Facing the Giants".  The excerpt demonstrates how a person can be challenged to do more than they believe they could accomplish on their own.  She shared that as demonstrated in the movie, her perspective is driven from a personal faith in God.
