The Rowan County Council on Aging is seeking nominations for its second annual “Service to Seniors Awards” program.
The awards are designed to recognize volunteers of all ages, as well as organizations and businesses, who go above and beyond normal practice to serve older adults in the community.
A simple nomination form can be submitted by March 31 for one to be considered for this year’s awards.
An Awards Committee appointed by the Council on Aging will receive, evaluate, and select winners who will be recognized at an Awards Luncheon planned for May 15 as part of Older Americans Month at Rufty-Holmes Senior Center.
Last year, five individuals, five organizations and four businesses were honored as award winners.
Nomination forms can be obtained from Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, 1120 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave., in Salisbury, or at www.ruftyholmes.org.
The Rowan County Council on Aging was re-organized in January 2007 for the purpose of educating and informing individuals and the community about public issues effecting older adults; to develop strategies for improving conditions for older adults in Rowan County; to advocate for older adult needs and public policies to address them; and to promote a “senior friendly community.”
