Nominations Sought for New Williamstown Community Award
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Two awards given annually at town meeting are being combined into a single honor.
Town Moderator Adam Filson and Bernadine Williams of the Williamstown Community Chest informed the Selectmen on Monday about a decision to combine the town's Faith R. Scarborough Community Service Award with the non-profit's existing Volunteer of the Year Award, which was named for Edith and Adolph Salomon.
The new award, which has the backing of the Scarborough family, will be named the Scarborough Salomon Flynt Community Service Award, in recognition of the Scarborough, the Salomons and philanthropists Mary and Henry Flynt, who died in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
The Scarborough Salomon Flynt Community Service Award Committee is accepting nominations for its first annual award. Individuals or civic groups will be recognized for demonstrated dedication, excellence and integrity to community service in order to make Williamstown a better place.
Nominators should provide a narrative of accomplishments in support of their nominee. The committee will select a citizen who has demonstrated integrity, excellence, and dedication in community service.
Recipients will receive a newly designed medallion at town meeting in May.
The deadline for nominations is April 20; they can be submitted to afilson@williamstown.net, via the nomination form on the Williamstown Community Chest's website, or in a sealed envelope to the town manager's office.
