The Haddonfield Lions Club invites you to submit your nomination for the 43rd “Haddonfield Citizen of the Year” (COTY) Award. The submission deadline is Friday, Dec. 26.
A committee of community representatives will review the nominees and make the final selection. The recipient will be announced by Mayor Jeff Kasko at the annual Mayor’s Breakfast on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The event will be held at the First Presbyterian Church on King’s Highway in Haddonfield.
The Lions Club seeks nominees whose achievements and contributions to the town make them worthy of special recognition. The only requirements for consideration are (1) residency in Haddonfield and (2) exceptional dedication and service to our community.
Each submission should be submitted using the “Nomination for 2015 COTY Award Form” as a coversheet with supporting statement(s) by the person(s) and/or group(s) making the nomination.
