Mrs. Kelly Baumgart, a Speech/Language Pathologist for the School District of Waupaca, received the Rotary Club of Waupaca's Service Above Self Award this year. Her nomination described Kelly as a dedicated and humble leader who is willing to assist anyone anywhere she can. Kelly volunteers with many local organizations and is a leader in our schools. She is quick to support peers and families when she sees a need --no matter how big or how small.
