Nominees sought for Golden Deeds Award

The Antioch/Lake Villa/Lindenhurst Exchange Club is searching for the club’s first Book of Golden Deeds Award. Exchange clubs across the country have been honoring individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty in helping their fellow man.

The Exchange Club is asking that community members nominate qualified candidates for the 2012 award.

The only requirement is that the person be a resident of the club’s towns and be an active volunteer within the framework of the community.

According to suggestions from the club, “when searching for the appropriate volunteer to honor, keep in mind that it is important to choose a person who is sincere about helping the community, has an exceptional track record of continued, unselfish giving and enjoys volunteering to help others. It should be someone who deserves acclaim but rarely receives it.”

The club asks that the nominators write a detailed account of the nominee’s civic work and why they believe the individual deserves this award. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 1. Send nominations to: ALL Exchange Club, P.O. Box 6155, Lindenhurst, IL 60046.

The banquet to honor the winner will be announced at a later date.
