The Kiwanis Club of Cicero is honored to have Cooper, a 1963 graduate of Jackson Central High School and life-long resident of northern Hamilton County, as its guest speaker at this year’s breakfast. Cooper worked as a skilled tradesman at Chrysler in Kokomo retiring after more than 40 years of dedicated service. He remains active in the community and is a member of the Hamilton Heights School board, currently serving as president of the five-member board. His wife of more than 50 years, Vicki, is also a graduate of Jackson Central High School. They have two children, both Hamilton Heights graduates, and two grandchildren.
The annual Veteran’s breakfast celebration, now in its 10th year, is free to local veterans and their guests. Breakfast for all other visitors is $5 per person. Members of the Hamilton Heights Key Club will be partnering with the Cicero Kiwanis to help with this year’s breakfast.
