Morrison looks for top citizen
|
The club’s 29th annual citizenship banquet, at which this year’s winner will be honored, is scheduled Saturday, April 17 at the Morrison Ruritan building.
The club established the Citizen of the Year award in 1975 and set up the following guidelines as the basis for selecting the honoree:
• Nominations are to be made by the general public.
• Those nominated must live in the Morrison area or have some connection, past or present, with the Morrison community.
• Nominees will be judged on church work, community activities or public service, or a combination of the three.
Judging will be based primarily on the activities of the nominees during the past 12 months, but consideration will also be given to contributions made over the years.
The selections will be made by a secret ballot of club members, but the identity of the recipient will not be revealed until the banquet. All nominations for Citizen of the Year should be mailed to Mike Holland, 1796 Cooper Road, Morrison, Tenn., 37357 and marked “Citizen” on the envelope. This will assure the nomination will not be opened until it is turned over to the judges for their consideration.
