Do you know someone who deserves an award for their volunteer and community service?  Nominations for the 2009 Community Service Awards in Wayland are being accepted until April 8th.   The awards are sponsored by the Wayland Youth and Family Services.  These awards will be given to high school students and adults in the community who have unselfishly contributed to building and strengthening their own and other communities by carrying out a significant amount of unpaid service.

High school students are eligible if they have completed 40 or more hours of community service or shown significant leadership or responsibility in performing service during the time period from April 1, 2008 and April 1, 2009.  Students may be nominated or may submit documentation of their service to receive this award.  Adults are eligible if they have contributed an exceptional amount of service to the community.  Service may have been started at any time during residence or employment in Wayland, but must be continuing into the present.  Adults must be nominated for this award.

The Community Service Awards ceremony will be held on May 6, 2009 at 7:00 pm at the Wayland High School Little Theater. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Forms and more information on eligibility are available at Wayland eNews, the Wayland High School Guidance office, the Wayland Public Library and the Office of Youth and Family Services in the Town Building. Questions can be addressed to Lynn Dowd, Wayland Youth and Family Services at 508-358-4293.
