Governor s Citizen Award and the 14th Annual Student Service Award. These are statewide recognition programs created to recognize individuals and groups who contribute their time and service to improve the lives of others in their communities. This is an opportunity to honor those citizens you believe to be outstanding volunteers. More than two million volunteers, or 66 percent of all Minnesotans, provide a multitude of service in their communities. Every day people s lives are touched by caring citizens, neighbor helping neighbor, grassroots activism, and volunteers assisting nonprofit organizations through formal programs.
Volunteers deserve our special recognition for their acts of kindness.
Please consider an individual or group that you know who has made a difference in your neighborhood, organization or community within the past year. As a committed volunteer myself, I have seen what a powerful force volunteerism is to our great state. Take time now during this very special year to nominate someone whose generous service and help ensures a brighter future for all of us. Please type or neatly print the information. MAY 19, 2001.
