SVIA Lifetime Achievement Awards

This past December, Paul Johnopolos and John Turay (Beans) were
honored for years of hard work and dedication. They have given
countless hours of their time for the betterment of our community. They
have done everything; from hauling the huge BBQ grill to the woods for
our annual picnic, to playing hooky from work, to cook over a hundred
pounds of corned beef, for our annual St. Patrick’s Day party. Schorsch
Village is an excellent community to live in because of neighbors like
Paul and Beans. When you see them at one of our hall events, give them
a pat on the back and thank them for keeping the traditions alive.
