Finding and Thanking Local Volunteers

Think about the people you know. It could be someone you work with, someone in your school or faith-community, or someone in your neighborhood. It could be a friend or a person in your family. It could be someone from a community or social group.

Maybe you've always thought of them as the person who is always helping other people. You know the one - always volunteering or doing a fundraiser or talking about a particular community issue. Sometimes they do all three at the same time. Maybe they've tried to get YOU to volunteer before, or asked you to sign a petition or attend a rally or car wash or walk for a cause.

Well, now is the time to recognize that person's efforts. Take a moment to nominate them for the Governor's 26th Annual Volunteer Service Awards. Categories include:

• Youth
• Individual
• Senior
• Faith-Based
• Lifetime Achievement
• National Service
• State Government
• Public Safety and Emergency Response
• Youth Group
• Group
• Senior Group
• Business Group

Help us find and thank outstanding local volunteers. Help us learn and share their stories to inspire others.

Please nominate outstanding volunteers for the Governor's Annual Volunteer Service Award. Nominations are due no later than March 6, 2009.
