It’s time to start thinking of individuals or groups to nominate for this year’s Greene County Community Impact Award. This is the 10th year for the award that honors those who have volunteered their time and talents to Greene County through social, educational, or cultural activities as opposed to a business operation or work through an official position. Communities honor individuals locally. The Impact Award honors those who have made a difference in the Greene County community.
Nomination forms will be available at local libraries after Febr.4. The nomination deadline is March 30. An announcement of this year’s recipient will be April 21. The award will be given in the Greene County courthouse rotunda in a ceremony in early May.
The Impact Award board includes Teena Toliver of Churdan, Elaine Schermerhorn of Scranton, Mary Weaver of Rippey, Becky Cunningham of Paton, Jerry Herrick from Grand Junction, and Jerry Roberts of Jefferson.
Beginning in 2010 the award has gone to Lawrence Geisler of rural Jefferson; the Churdan Town and Country Band; Carson Griffith of Grand Junction; Tim and Vickie Robbins of rural Scranton; Doug Hawn of rural Scranton; Alice Walters of Jefferson; Mary Weaver of Rippey ; Jim North of Jefferson; with Carla and Chuck Offenburger of Cooper honored last year with the Impact Award.
