George Award
There’s an old saying “Let George Do It”. A tongue in cheek saying meaning let someone else do it. There’s no such person as George so since 1960, the Chamber has created a tradition to honor those who embody the definition of a “George”.
The George Award honors citizens who give extraordinary service to the community. Local folks who give their time and energy to the betterment of our community- the doers, the people who make things happen. If you know someone who consistently jumps in when they see a need, rather than waiting for George to do it, why don’t you nominate them for the George award this year?
The 2008 George Award recipient will be named at the Chamber’s annual banquet on January 24.
All George Award nominations are due at the Chamber by noon on December 22.
The nominations are reviewed by a special Chamber “task force”. Please provide to them the following:
