82 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK MID-WEST FASTENER ASSOCIATION PO Box 5, Lake Zurich, IL 60047 TOLL-FREE 1-800-753-8338 TEL 847-438-8338 EMAIL mwfa@ameritech.com WEB www.mwfa.net The MWFA held their 35th awarding of MWFA scholarships. To date they have awarded 3,000 in scholarships. It is mainly the MWFA shows and membership donations, which provide the funds for this outstanding program. They take their motto: ‘Where education is a priority” very seriously. Jeff Joniak, play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Bears was the guest speaker at the Scholarship Awards. His passion for the game and for the Bears is linked to a 33-year association with Chicago sports fans, 22 of those years with the Chicago Bears broadcast team. In addition to hosting the Chicago Bears game day broadcasts since 1997, Jeff serves as WBBM Newsradio 780 and 105.9 FM’s Director of Sports Operations and weekday afternoon sports anchor. ASSOCIATION ARTICLE MWFA AWARDS NEARLY ,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS by Nancy Rich He also co-hosts “Bears All-Access” on WSCR-670 with former Chicago Bear Tom Thayer, and the “Bears Coaches Show” featuring head coach Matt Nagy and his staff during the football season on Monday nights on WBBM. Jeff spoke to the students relating his college years and challenges of deciding what he really wanted to do. He wasn’t always encourage, by teachers, to pursue his dream of sports announcing but he never gave up. JEFF JONIAK He offered wise advise; do homework-you have to do homework in every aspect of life, stay humble, take writing classes-you need to be able to communicate the written word, get involved in collete-every experience will help. He hopes teachers are honest with students, they are being paid to get students ready for the work place. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. Don’t quite, don/t give, chase your dreams. MWFA is grateful to all scholarship donors especially those choosing to award a named scholarship. This year MWFA extended a special thank you to XL Screw for donating a scholarship for the 20th year. We are very fortunate to have given out over ,000 in the name of XL Screw Corp. One of the largest scholarships awarded this year is given by XL Screw Corporation. XL also contributes scholarship donations to many of the other associations, as well. Bob Sachs stresses the importance of education and he proves it, with his donations to so many scholarship funds. The original idea of a scholarship program came out of XL Screw & has had amazing growth. Many students have benefited from this program since its inception. CONTINUED ON PAGE 150
