Do you know a family member, friend or neighbor who helps to enhance your neighborhood? Maybe they have performed a good deed or provide a service that you feel deserves recognition. You can honor them with a nomination for the Good Neighbor Award.

The Good Neighbor Award recognizes the ongoing efforts of Rockville residents who are making exceptional contributions to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. The program is designed to honor those who make a difference in our community without seeking or receiving recognition for their service. Nominees are sought in two divisions: adult and youth.

• The nominee must be a resident of the City of Rockville
• The nominee must not be employed by the City of Rockville
• The nominee must have made a significant contribution to their community during the current calendar year

The Good Neighbor Award is the City's way of recognizing the residents who are committed to preserving, maintaining and improving the quality of life in their neighborhoods and our community.

The 2011 Good Neighbor Awards will be presented at the November 28 Mayor and Council meeting at Rockville Senior Center. All are welcome.

For more information on the Good Neighbor Award, contact Rocio Snowdy at 240-314-8345.
