Nomination forms for the First Annual Governor’s Volunteer Stars Awards are now being accepted in Madison County. The awards will celebrate the efforts of volunteers who strive to improve their communities through service.

Volunteerism plays a vital role in the State of Tennessee. It is the drive and dedication of those willing to serve and donate their time and effort in the time of need which makes this a great county and state in which to live.

One youth and one adult volunteer will be selected in Madison County to receive this prestigious award. Nominees will be judged based on the community’s need of the volunteer service performed, initiative taken to perform the service, creativity used to solve a community problem and impact of the volunteer service on the community.

Volunteers are a vital part of our community. Whether it is a catastrophic disaster, need to assist with social events or the need to help the less fortunate, they are always there and willing to serve.

Recipients of the Madison County volunteer awards will be recognized at the Governor’s Volunteer Stars ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee on October 20, 2008.
