NEIGHBORHOOD VOLUNTEER AWARDS
Each year Community Forum solicits nominations of individuals and groups who have made significant and positive neighborhood contributions through their volunteer efforts. A Community Forum sub-committee ranks each candidate/group upon set criteria and in turn recommends their selection of recipients to Community Forum for final approval.
- Award recipients are recognized at a City Council meeting.
- Recipients’ names are added to a plaque on display in City Hall.
- A special day is named in their honor by the Mayor’s official proclamation.
- A tree is planted in their honor.
2020 Nominations is now closed
