Nominate a shining star for Community MVP

In last Friday’s Redmond Reporter, our editor Bill Christianson wrote about an effort between the Reporter staff and the Redmond Rotary to identify and honor a Community MVP of the Year.
In case you missed Bill’s column, a nominee for this award should be a shining star who has generously given a large amount of volunteer time to a worthy cause in Redmond.
From my experience as a reporter in Redmond, I can tell you that this community is blessed with many wonderful and talented people who care deeply about their neighbors and making Redmond a terrific place to live, work and play.
Choosing just one exemplary volunteer won’t be easy, but that’s where you, our readers, can play an important role.
Take a moment to think about someone here in Redmond, at your office, school, church or club, who consistently and cheerfully gives back to the community in a meaningful way.
E-mail that person’s name and contact information, along with your name and contact information — and a brief paragraph explaining why the nominee is special — to redmondrotary@yahoo.com.
Nominations are due by Dec. 15 and the winner will be given an award at the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce Awards Luncheon on Jan. 20, 2010.
