Midwest Eye Consultants and Wabash Kiwanis Club are pleased to announce this year’s
recipients of the Self-Reliance Awards. Each of these students received a cash award at a
ceremony on June 15. The winners are Wyatt James Davis, Wabash High School; Brianna Rose
Addair, Manchester High School; Hunter Wayne Klutz, Manchester High School; and Brylee
Marie Proctor, Wabash High School
The Self-Reliance Awards were started in 1990 by MarkHon Industries making this the 31 th year
of the awards. The Wabash Kiwanis Club has administered the awards since their inception.
The winners must be graduating seniors attending classes at a Wabash County school. They
prepare an application detailing the ways in which they are self-reliant. The Kiwanis Club reads
and scores the applications based on a point system. Usually Kiwanis members would interview
the top scoring applicants; but due to Covid-19 restrictions, the top four finalists were selected
from the scores received during the reading process.
