Nominations Sought for New NFCCA ‘Good Neighbor’ Award

By Laura Hussey

The NFCCA Board is seeking nominations for a new Good Neighbor Award, to be bestowed by NFCCA annually to a neighborhood resident who has done something exemplary to make our neighborhood a better place to live, including, but not limited to, actions such as volunteer service on behalf of the neighborhood in local or county forums; simple neighborly acts of kindness such as looking in on a neighbor in need of assistance; or taking responsibility for something that benefits other neighbors, such as picking up trash in the park or along the street.  The winner of the first annual NFCCA Good Neighbor Award will be named at the NFCCA meeting on 14 June 2017.

To submit a nomination, send an email to hero at nfcca dot org with the individual’s name, address (or street), and a description of the actions that you feel make the individual a “good neighbor.”

Nominees must be current residents of the neighborhood bounded by Colesville Road, University Boulevard, Caddington Avenue/Loxford Terrace, and the Northwest Branch stream valley park (see our territory map).  Nominations for the 2017 NFCCA Good Neighbor Award must be submitted no later than 15 May 2017.  The NFCCA Board will determine the winner.

If you have questions or suggestions about this award, please send an email to the hero at nfcca dot org address.   ■
