Cloverdale Civic Award nominees sought from public

CLOVERDALE -- Nominations are now being accepted for the Cloverdale Civic Award.

The award, sponsored by the Cloverdale Lions Club, will be presented to an individual who has made a positive difference in the Cloverdale community.

The winner will have his or her name engraved on the permanent plaque that is on display in the Cloverdale Town Hall and will also receive a plaque to keep.

The public's help is needed in determining who deserves this honor. Past winners of the award include 2012 winner Dewey Garrett, along with Kerry Shepherd, Norv Gottula, Rod Garrett, Bob Hostetter, Jeff Rich, Bill Henson, Adeline Knoy, Vera Hughes, Eric Hayman, Wayne Sutherlin, Judy Whitaker, Dr. Keith Ernst, Don Walton, Jack Davis, Mona Smith, Joyce Johnson and Rosemary Davis.

Nominations can be submitted until noon Saturday, Aug. 21 by using a plain sheet of paper. In nominating a Civic Award candidate, required information includes the nominee's name, address and the reason for the nomination.

Nominations can be mailed to Todd Lewis, c/o Cloverdale Lions Club, 75 Anna St., Cloverdale, IN 46120, or they can be turned in at any office of First National Bank.

Residents are urged take a moment to help thank those who do so much for the benefit of the Cloverdale community.
