Lyn Bliss Honored for Tribute to Women

By Kay Seiler

Recently, Lyn Bliss, Greenville, was an honoree for the Tribute to Women which was held at the Worthington Country Club in Columbus.  This was the Ohio Federation of Republican Women’s biennial celebration of the leadership capabilities, community contributions, and personal values of women who belong to Republican Women’s Clubs in Ohio.  The first tribute was held in 1980.  This year, 22 outstanding women from all over Ohio were recognized.

The Darke County Republican Women’s Club selected Lyn Bliss as their Woman of the year.  She was awarded commendations from Congressman John Boehner, along with Governor John Kasich,  U.S.  Senator Rob Portman, State Representative Jim Buchy, State Representative Dick Adams, Darke County Commissioners,  Mayor Mike Bowers, Kevin DeWine of the Ohio Republican Party and the National Federation of Republican Women’s Club President, Sue Lynch.  These were presented to Lyn by the President of the Ohio Federation, Jean Turner. 

Sally Zeiter, President of the Darke County Republican Women’s Club proudly accompanied Lyn along with members, Wavelene Denniston, Vivian Foreman, Dori Howdieshell, and Kay Seiler. 

Speaker for the occasion was Debe Terhar, President of the Ohio Board of Education.  To begin her speech she compared herself to Lyn, using Lyn’s bio in the program book.  We felt very proud of Lyn, that she was singled out.   

At a recent meeting of the Darke County Republican Women’s Club, Wavelene Denniston shared with those present, Lyn’s attributes of leadership, community contributions and personal values.  Lyn said that receiving this award was something she would never forget and thanked everybody.
