Readers can name someone deserving recognition

Readers have until Jan. 12 to send in their nominations for the annual volunteer of the year honor to be decided by community poll.

The Star initiative picks a worthy volunteer to be honored as an example of selfless service to others. Many people give of their time and talents throughout the year to help one or many members of the community, whether through unsung efforts to help a neighbor or in much publicized widespread efforts to tackle a bigger problem.

The Star will publish the annual volunteer of the year award in January again this year.

Any community member who has not been given the honor before is eligible.

Readers have until 5 p.m. Jan. 12, 2015 to nominate a volunteer to honor by:

• writing a letter to Volunteer of Year, P.O. Box 150 Grand Coulee, WA, 99133,

• sending an email to star@grandcoulee.com with the subject Volunteer of the Year, or

• posting to The Star’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/GrandCouleeStar.

Please include your contact information (not for publication).

We’ll publish your comments and letters in print and online and post nominations in an online poll on Jan. 14.

Readers can make their preference known through that poll or by dropping off or mailing a signed slip of paper with their preferred honoree written on it by Jan. 21.

The honoree will be announced Jan. 28.
