Nominations Due September 6 for Strasburg Volunteer of Year Award

In Strasburg each fall, the Community Weiner Roast is the scene where a member of the community, whose volunteer activities have benefited the Strasburg community has been been presented the "Volunteer of the Year" award. The Village Board is asking that members of the community nominate an individual that they think is deserving of the award.

Any individual, group, business or organization whose volunteer activities directly benefit the Village of Strasburg and/or its residents is eligible.

Nominees must demonstrate exceptional commitment to volunteerism by helping with a special project or ongoing activities, demonstrate exemplary leadership, creativity, cooperation, and hard work in their service to others, and serve as role models by inspiring others to serve.

A letter of nomination citing the points or reasons the nominator feels like the candidate deserves to be named Volunteer of the Year should be submitted to the Strasburg Village Office prior to September 6. A committee will review the nominations and will select the winner. The Volunteer of the Year award for 2016 will be presented at the Strasburg Village Weiner Roast on Friday, October 7 at the Village Park.

Previous winners of the award are Larry Giertz, Gary Kull, Linda Oakley, Patsy Lenz, Karen Kull, Lisa Shelton, Chris Daniels, Jane Giertz, Charlie Culver, and Jodie Quast.
