Michigan District Couple of the Year 2011

What an honor to be your 2011 Michigan District Couple of the Year!

Ken and Patti Kintner, Chapter Directors of Chapter W Maple City Wings in Adrian, Michigan, have been married 33 years.  They have three beautiful and talented daughters, all married. They also have two grandsons, with another grandbaby coming in September.  Their dog Jack, an 8 year old Jack Russell, does not like it when he sees the riding gear because he knows they are off again leaving him alone.  Patti would like a sidecar so that Jack could ride too.  Ken would disagree.  Patti is an accounts payable specialist for United Bank and Trust.  Ken has owned his own business since 1983, evolving from Ken’s TV Service to Video Productions of Lenawee.

They joined GWRRA in May of 2008 and haven’t missed a Gathering since.  Chapter W got them involved right away with the newsletter in 2008 and the brag book in 2009.  Becoming Assistant Chapter Directors in 2010 and Chapter Directors in 2011 was a great honor.   They very are proud  of Chapter W and glad to serve its members.  Adding Chapter W Couple of the Year in 2010 had topped the bill. (Until Now)

Ken and Patti would like to thank the other COY’s for participating.  Skip and Nancy Edson from Chapter A, Rick and Joy Heber from Chapter V, and Duane and Laurel Lee Prince from Chapter Y are all so equally deserving.  Judging must have been extremely difficult.

Ken and Patti will do their best to represent the members of GWRRA Michigan in the following year.  

 

 

The most visible part at all levels of GWRRA is the "Couple of the Year Program". Beginning at the Chapter level, this is a method of honoring couples for their commitment to the ideals of the GWRRA. After serving as their Chapter Couple they can attend their District's selection process. Later the District Couples may attend their Region's selection process and eventually the Region Couples can move on to the International Couple of the Year selection process at Wing Ding. We encourage all the Chapters to honor your fellow Couples and participant in the "Couple of the Year Program". If you have any questions please email us or give us a call. The following links are pdf files on the program.
