"It only takes a few minutes to nominate a neighbor, friend, or family member that has contributed to making Lombard such a great place to live, and we look forward to honoring their contributions."

All nominations must be received by 4:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 2, for consideration. The Community Relations Committee will vote for the winner on Monday, Sept. 12.
