Concord, NH – Do you know someone who spends endless hours volunteering his or her time to
help others in need, someone who puts in more hours to volunteer than in their full-time careers, someone who promotes
wellness in your community, or works with youth organizations such as the Girl Scouts or Big Buddies program? Perhaps
you have a retired relative that still volunteers or you know a student that dedicates an incredible amount of time
outside of schoolwork to help an organization. If you do, then your job is to dedicate an hour of your time to fill out
a nomination application to recognize that unique person for the Spirit of New Hampshire awards.
Nominations for these awards are accepted year-round. The deadline for this year’s nominations is September 15, 2009.
A group of reviewers will choose the final recipients to later acknowledge them at the Spirit of New Hampshire Awards
Gala event, which will be held November 10, 2009 at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord. It is simple to take a
few minutes of your time to recognize the people that truly exemplify volunteerism and dedicate so much to the state.
The Spirit of New Hampshire awards began in 2003 by Volunteer NH along with the Office of Gov. John Lynch. Given out
annually in November, they recognize and thank volunteers around the state for the time and effort they put into
volunteerism. Nomination categories include the Volunteer Service Awards and the Volunteer Program Champions Awards.
Volunteer Service Award nominations will also be eligible for recognition through the Governor’s Volunteer of the Month
award.
