Nominees sought for annual George Awards

From the Battle Creek Enquirer:

The Battle Creek Enquirer is accepting nominations for the 2010 George Awards, continuing a 53-year tradition of honoring area residents who take it upon themselves to make positive changes in their communities.

The honorees, selected for good works done in 2009, will be recognized at a reception April 21 at the Battle Creek Country Club.

Former Enquirer Publisher Robert B. Miller Sr. instituted the annual George Awards in 1957, recognizing people who "don't wait around for George to do it," but instead take the initiative and do things to benefit others in the community.

George recipients generally are people responsible for spearheading projects -- either one-time events or ongoing efforts -- that otherwise would not have existed. In order to qualify, the project also cannot be part of that person's regular job duties.
