The Sixth Annual Hartshorne Memorial Service Award

A few years ago, the FLRC executive board created service awards in Jim Hartshorne's memory, to honor acts of volunteerism to the running community.

Originally, we gave a community service award and a volunteer award, but the apathy displayed by the FLRC membership was disappointing, to put it mildly. We wanted the membership to nominate people who work on behalf of those who reap the benefits of the service. But when we ask nominations, we get almost no response.

We know you know some people are very deserving of recognition. Say and do something nice for someone who serves you all year. The winner receives a very nice award!

So, here we go again, and depending on the response, number of vote-getters and closeness of the voting counts, we may give only one award. The FLRC executive board members will examine the list of nominees, count the votes and select someone we think deserving.

We are now seeking nominations/opinions from the entire FLRC membership for the Hartshorne 2002 Service Award(s) We have received a few names of very deserving nominees. Keep those opinions coming!

Please call or email Lorrie Marnell at 255-8877 or Diane Sherrer at 387-6281; or e-mail Betsy Martens (see our contact directory for contact info) with your vote. Your votes will be confidential. Do it now, please!

Deadline: May 1, 2002

Although these folks continue to share the workload, do not vote for the following past winners, because we want to spread the wealth around town: Joe Dabes, Diane Sherrer, Herb Engman, Lorrie Marnell, Joe Reynolds, John Sholeen, Jim Bisogni, Jim Miner, Don Tily, and Alan Lockett.
