A highly-visible community con- tributor, McMahon was man of the hour at Waterloo Inn where Water- loo J aycees announced he has been named Outstanding Young Citizen for 1985. In winning the honor. which recognizes those between 18-40 who have served their community with exemplary dedication, McMahon edged out University of Waterloo coaching stalwart Judy McCrae and Paul Nyhout, who for years has made setness contribu- tions to various youth and social service organizations. As Jaycee past president Rod Charles pointed out, the format of bringing three finalists to the celebration to announce one win- ner does not make losers of the other two, but allows the organizer tion to recognize the achievements of all three, whose names will be forwarded to the Canada-wide Jaycee Vanier Awards competi- tion.
