United Way serves os the 'best way' for Roger Kryder

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer Roger Kryder has found that there are several ways to “get involved in the community” since taking over as assistant superintendent for business for the Wawasee School Corporation one year ago, but one organization has him believing that the best way may be — The United Way.

Profile

Contending that he’s “just interested in people,” Kryder has undertaken a task synonymous with “challenging,” as he begins a stint as district chairman for The United Way Campaign. “We will officially begin our three-week campaign September 15 and I’m looking forward to it,” Kryder says, excited about the prospect of helping the organization raise $510,000 county-wide. Heading campaigns in the Leesburg, Milford. North Webster, and Syracuse communities. Kryder will employ the help of “team captains" for each community, which will, in turn, organize teams for their respective areas. “It’s (The United Way) highly specialized as far as areas of responsibility, but everyone is working together for the same cause, " Kryder says. That “cause" is to provide programs for the young and old alike. “Anyone can go to the Lakeland Youth Center or Day Care Center in Syracuse and see the benefits,” Kryder remarks, noting that “Meals on Wheels” for the elderly and handicapped is also provided through the funds collected. “We all benefit from The United Way, 100 per cent of the funding goes toward services in the communities,” he adds.

Previously involved with the organization during his seven year tenure as assistant superintendent of the Central Noble School Corporation, Kryder was coerced by his predecessors to accept the chairmanship. “It’s hard to say ‘no I don’t want to be a part of it’ after seeing all that The United Way does — it’s very well organized,” Kryder admits, adding, “I had selfish reasons too though, thinking that it would introduce me to more people in the community.” A 13-year resident of Syracuse, Kryder knows many of those people, although his work took him out of the area much of the time. Educational Leader An assistant director of special education for a four-county area for 10 years, Kryder also served as a special education teacher and school psychologist before taking the Central Noble position, which was to later lead to Wawasee. That strong educational background may be one factor that makes the Monroeville resident attractive to The United Way. “It (education) may help with my organizational and communication skills — I deal with people a lot in my line of work, ” he admits. However, Kryder also admits that he doesn’t deal with students as much as he did in the past. “An administrative position takes away from the time you get to spend with students,” he says — something that has him “missing the kids." Part of that void is filled during the summer, with Kryder putting on a cap and coaching youth league baseball. “I enjoy it — it allows me to put something back into the community," he says. The administrator also "puts into the community" as a member of the Syracuse Nursery School Board and is active in the Lakeside Chapel Church, while time is set aside for his wife of 19 years. Marge, and two sons, Andy, 11, and Aaron. 9. Reading and sports serve as an outlet for the active resident, with golf being a favorite, although, he laughs, “I’d probably enjoy it even more if could
