Sandwich Lions Club seeking Citizenship Award nominees; deadline is Feb. 28

The Sandwich Lions Club will be honoring a person or couple with its Citizenship Award at the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting on May 5.

Criteria for the award includes volunteer service in Sandwich and the surrounding area, character and citizenship, civic leadership, and accomplishments toward the betterment of the Sandwich community. This can be an improvement or program of significant value to the community. The improvement must be made as a result of personal commitment and not substantially as the result of the person’s primary employment or public responsibilities.

A Lions Club committee will evaluate the nominations, and the recipient will be able to name a charity of their choice, which will be given $150 in their honor.

Deadline for nominations is Feb. 28. Submit nominations by mail to Sandwich Lions Club Citizenship Award, P.O. Box 32, Sandwich, IL 50438, or to Beth Nelson at beth.nelson@fnicgroup.com or call Beth at 630-552-3447 ext. 318. Forms will also be available at the City Hall or Sandwich Chamber of Commerce office.
