Chamber seeks Silver Anchor nominations

-- Noaki Schwartz

It’s time once again to nominate a special volunteer for the Chamber of

Commerce Silver Anchor Award.

For the past three decades, the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce

has honored men and women who sacrifice themselves physically,

emotionally or financially by volunteering for various local

organizations.

Nominations are open to the public and must be submitted by March 31. It

should include the nominee’s name, phone number and address; a list of

community services the nominee has provided and in what capacity; the

nominee’s characteristics; and a list of references for the nominee.

Those submitting nominations must also include their name, phone number

and affiliation with the nominee.

The chamber will select four or five benevolent residents who make a

difference within the community. The awards ceremony will take place June

20.

Nominations can be faxed to Karin Graves at the chamber at (949)

729-4400. For questions, call (949) 729-4400.

In addition to the nomination process, the chamber is also seeking people
