Sterling
Heights Each year the Greater Beneficial Union (GBU)
awards their prestigious Louis Volz Founder's Award to one outstanding GBU
district officer who has earned the title of being a trueblue fraternalist."
This year the
beautiful singing during the Spring Concert of the Carpathia Gemischter
Choir & GBU Saxonia/Rheingold Choir was the perfect setting to recognize a
very special lady for her many contributions to the GBU, her community, and
loyalty to her German culture.
After a wonderful
concert of German music, at the Carpathia Hall on May 13th, GBU's Chairman
of the Board, Lea Ann Hazi, announced the winner of the society's highest
award. This year's winner was none other than the President of the GBU
Saxonia/Rheingold Choir and GBU District 821, Edith Kuplent. Ms. Kuplent who
resides in Troy, Michigan began her service to the district and choir in
1958. She has served as the Treasurer for 25 years and President the past 22
years.
In addition to
fulfilling her duties as an officer and choir member, Edith has organized
countless concert tours for the choir to sing in Germany. The GBU Saxonia/Rheingold
Choir performs not only for the pleasure of others, but also performs to
raise the spirits of those less fortunate. As President of GBU District 821
in Sterling Heights, Edith has lead her district into performing many worthy
community projects over her tenure.
Her dedication to
GBU along with her loyalty to the German culture and her service to the
community made Edith Kuplent a most worthy recipient of the Louis Volz
Award.

year old German fraternal organization which provides both life and annuity
products to its members. If you would like more information on how you can
