Nominate someone for Arlington Heart of Gold

If you know of someone who lives or works in Arlington Heights and has a "heart of gold," -- a neighbor, teacher, volunteer or business leader -- consider nominating him or her for the annual Hearts of Gold Awards program, an event created to honor those individuals who do outstanding work in our community but rarely get recognized for their contributions.

All of the Hearts of Gold winners will be honored at the annual Hearts of Gold Dinner and Dance held on Feb. 2 at the Sheraton Chicago Northwest Hotel in Arlington Heights.

To nominate someone special, call Nancy Kluz, community relations coordinator at (847) 368-5104 or download the Awards Category information and the Hearts of Gold Nomination form from the village's Web site, www.vah.com. Scroll to the bottom of the home page and under "Quick Clicks," click on "Applications and Forms." Nominations must be submitted by Oct. 31.
