The Moorestown Service Club Council, comprised of the Y Service Club, the Lion’s Club and Rotary Clubs, has announced a call for nominations for its 2012 Citizen of the Year award. Now in its 59th year, the award recognizes a Moorestown resident who, through varied community service activities, has significantly contributed to the quality of life of the community and its citizens.
Each year, the council chooses the Citizen of the Year recipient based on nominations made by Moorestown citizens. The Citizen of the Year will be honored at the 59th Annual Dinner Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 1 at The Merion in Cinnaminson. Net proceeds from the event benefit local organizations and have included Moorestown High School for a “Good Citizen” scholarship, Lenola Emergency Unit for resuscitation dolls, Friends of the Moorestown Library and the Moorestown Community House.
Previous Citizen of the Year award winners includes David Schill in 2011, Jack and Micki Ginsberg in 2010, and Ann Baiada in 2009.
Moorestown citizens can nominate an outstanding member of their community now through December 1 by filling out a nomination form, available at the Moorestown Community House. The nomination form is also available on the YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties website (www.ymca-bc.org). Completed forms should be dropped off or mailed to the Moorestown Community House, 6 East Main Street, Moorestown, N.J. 08057 or sent to [email protected]
