LOOKING FOR NOMINATIONS

A deadline of July 29 has been set for the nomination of residents to be considered for the Sylvania Township “Distinguished Citizen Service Award.”

The award is meant to recognize residents of the Sylvania community whose voluntary efforts have improved the community but have largely been undertaken quietly.

The award will recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Sylvania community and/or Northwest Ohio.

The purpose of this award program is to shine a light on the high-impact volunteers who have given of themselves for the betterment of the community and their fellow citizens.

The program specifically excludes elected officials from consideration or anyone who may have already been honored by the naming of a street, park, or other public space for them.

Recently, McKenna Reitz and Brian Kezur became inaugural recipients of the award at the February 15 Board of Trustees meeting.

Anyone from Sylvania Township or the City of Sylvania who would like to nominate a person to be considered for the honor should direct the nomination to Oliver Turner, Sylvania Township Administrator.

Turner can be reached via email at oturner@sylvaniatowship.com or by mailing or dropping off a nomination at the Sylvania Township Administration Building, 4927 N. Holland-Sylvania Road, Sylvania, OH 43560.
