Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Governorís Volunteer Service Award.
The deadline for nomination forms is Feb.1 and they are available at the Rowan County United Way. This year marks the 33rd anniversary of this program that showcases North Carolinaís most dedicated volunteers. North Carolinians have proven their concern and compassion for their neighbors by volunteering in their local communities for years.
Each county selects five individuals, businesses, groups or teams and one director of volunteers to be recognized for outstanding contributions to communities. One of the five recipients will be nominated to receive the Governorís Medallion Award for volunteer service. A local committee evaluates the nominations.
