WANTED: Community Service nominations due by March 4

Soroptimist International of Port Angeles-Noon Club and the Peninsula Daily News invite nominations for the 2016 Clallam County Community Service Award.

The award recognizes the dedication and accomplishments of local people who do extraordinary things for their neighbors, their community or the environment.

This is the 37th year for the award, begun by the PDN and now co-sponsored by the Soroptimist noon club.

Nominations must be made using the accompanying coupon and must be submitted to the PDN by 5 p.m. Friday, March 4.

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.

Anyone who lives in Clallam County can be nominated. Recipients of the Community Service Award in the past are not eligible for a 2016 award.

But those previously nominated but not selected for a Community Service Award are eligible for renomination.

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 April 28.

If you have any questions about the program, phone the Peninsula Daily News at 360-452-2345.
