They’re the unsung heroes who make our community the wonderful place it is – and now it’s time to sing their praises. Twice a year, WSB teams up with the Southwest District Council and Delridge Neighborhoods District Council to present the West Seattle Volunteer Recognition Awards. The nomination period for the next round opened today and will continue through November 15. There are four categories: 3 individual volunteers in community, environment, or youth work; the fourth is a group award; winners will be honored December 5th during the Hometown Holidays festivities in The Junction. Here’s the quick ‘n’ easy form you can use:

(If for any reason that form didn’t work for you, you can go here to send a nomination. Keep in mind that the judging – which is done by volunteers from the two district councils – is based entirely on what’s written in the nomination, so be sure you fully represent the activities/attributes that make your nominee so terrific! (And if you’ve nominated someone in the past who hasn’t won, you’re welcome to nominate them again!)
