Community Service Award nominations still open

Who’s your local hero?

The deadline for nominations for the 2019 Clallam County Community Service Award is fast approaching.

Nominations must be made using the coupon published in the print edition of the Peninsula Daily News on Jan. 16 or online at www.peninsuladaily news.com/community- service-award and must be submitted to the PDN by 5 p.m. March 8.

A letter describing the merits and accomplishments of the person being nominated must be included with the coupon.

The nomination should include supporting documents, such as copies (not originals) of other awards, newspaper articles or letters of support.

A panel of judges will review the nominations and select one to seven people to receive a Community Service Award at an evening reception in Port Angeles on May 2.

The award, now in its 40th year, was begun by the PDN and is now co-sponsored by the Soroptimist International of Port Angeles-Noon Club.

Those with questions can call PDN Publisher Terry Ward at his direct number, 360-417-3500.

If he’s not in, leave a voicemail. Or email him at tward@peninsuladaily news.com.
