A.C.E. Awards will recognize ‘unsung heroes’

BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – Greater Falls Connections is inviting community members to nominate an unsung hero for the annual Active Community Engagement (A.C.E.) Award. This award recognizes a local individual who is active in community engagement in the Greater Falls area.

Some members of the community work tirelessly to make a difference. They coach teams, organize fundraisers, or volunteer at local hospitals, schools, churches and more. Consistently, they selflessly devote their time and efforts, going above and beyond without thought of reward or recognition. For example, a hero may exceed the requirements of their job or in their role as a volunteer. They could work with community organizations such as Parks Place, the Rockingham Free Public Library, SEVCA, or Our Place, etc.

Recipients of this award are the unsung heroes within the community who foster positive change and are dedicated to creating safe, healthy and fun options for youth, families and the community at large.

Citizens can help GFC to recognize an “unsung hero” by filling out a nomination form. Stop by Parks Place or the Rockingham Free Public Library to pick up a paper nomination form or go to the GFC Facebook page at www.facebook.com/greaterfallsconnections to fill out the online form. Paper forms can be faxed to Parks Place at (802) 463-8138. Nominations should be submitted by July 15.

The 2018 A.C.E. Award winner will be announced during the annual GFC Barbecue on July 17 at the Rockingham Recreation Center. Previous winners include Sam Fletcher, Sam Maskell, Christine Bullard, Barbara Ternes, Ryan Stoodley, Mike Malick, and Gina DeCampo.

The 2018 winner will be determined by a group of previous winners and the GFC staff members. For any questions, contact the GFC A.C.E. Award Committee at (802) 463-9927, Ext. 212, or email [email protected].
