Citizen of Year nominations due Monday

The deadline to nominate an individual for the annual Greater Greencastle Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award is Monday, Jan. 14.

The only requirement for the nominee is that he or she be a resident of Putnam County, Chamber Executive Director Brian Cox said.

The Chamber wants to take some time at its Jan. 26 Annual Dinner to recognize groups and people who work to help make the community a better place.

Along with 2018 Citizen of the Year succeeding last year's winner, Ginger Scott, the Chamber will also be looking for nominations for a Non-Profit of the Year award. The Chamber will also be awarding both large and small Businesses of the Year awards.

Residents should supply a one-page letter on why their nominee should win these awards and how they have helped the community.

To nominate someone or a group or organization, persons can email briancox@gogreencastle.com or mail or drop off a nomination at the Chamber office, 2 S. Jackson St., Greencastle IN 46135. Or go to gogreencastle.com and click the nomination button for Citizen of the Year.

Anyone with questions may call 653-4517. All nominations must be turned in by Jan. 14.
