Nominate Someone to be a ‘Good Neighbor’

Nominations due Aug. 30

One of my favorite programs in Rockville is the annual Good Neighbor Award. This recognition is conferred each year to a group of Rockville residents who — well, who are good neighbors.

Citizens are nominated by their peers and chosen from that pool by a committee. The ceremony, typically held at Glenview Mansion, is wonderfully uplifting.

Nominations are now open for the Good Neighbor Award! You have until August 30. Just go here to nominate a friend or neighbor.

Here’s the official stuff from the City:

The Good Neighbor awards recognize the ongoing efforts of Rockville residents who are making exceptional contributions to their neighborhoods. The program is designed to honor those who make a difference in the community without seeking or receiving recognition for their efforts.

Nominees are sought in two divisions: adult and youth. The nominee must:

• Be a resident of the City of Rockville;
• Have made significant contributions to their neighborhoods or to Rockville during the 2009-2010 calendar year;
• Have demonstrated their efforts beyond the scope of citizen responsibilities;
• Have demonstrated concern for their neighborhood’s well-being or overall quality of life for the City of Rockville; and
• Not be employed by the City of Rockville.

A three-person panel will select winners from the pool of candidates. All nominees will be honored at a special ceremony in September.
