The Rotary Club of Andover announces that nominations are now being accepted for their 15th annual Citizens Who Care and fourth annual Educator of the Year awards, to be held on Thursday, May 10 at a gala evening at the Wyndham Andover Hotel, beginning at 6 p.m.
The Citizens Who Care (CWC) awards recognize individuals or organizations for extraordinary contributions to the Andover community — above and beyond their normal job descriptions, according to the club. Recipients must have an Andover connection, meaning they must be living, working or volunteering in Andover.
The Educator of the Year (EOY) honors one educator in the Andover public school system who possesses these same values and qualities, both in and outside of the classroom and has made a significant difference in the lives of Andover students.
Rotary is currently reaching out to the Andover community for nominations for both of these awards. Nomination forms may be downloaded from the club's website, rotaryandover.org. Completed CWC forms and inquiries can be sent to Dan Fallon at dfallon@georgetownsb.com. Inquiries and submissions for EOY can go to Raymond Cannon, at ray@rjcannonlaw.com.
The gala is Rotary's signature event and features dinner, a short speech by Lane Glenn, president of Northern Essex Community College, and presentation of the CWC/EOY awards. The awards are embodied in a display that features portraits and biographies. The display travels throughout Andover, to places such as bank lobbies, Town Offices and Memorial Hall Library.
Tickets for the gala may be purchased from any Andover Rotarian, or on the club's website.
