It’s back!
Based on last year’s outstanding community participation, The Orion Area Parade Group, in conjunction with The Lake Orion Review, is pleased to announce the return of Orion’s Citizen of the Year award.
Dr. Joe Mastromatteo was last year’s recipient of the award and, as a result, served as Grand Marshall of the annual Holiday Lighted Parade in downtown Lake Orion.
Among other things, the second annual Citizen of the Year will also be profiled in The Review and honored at the annual Holly Jolly Folly.
A nomination form is posted below and The Review will accept nominations until 5 p.m. on September 5.
This year’s award will be given solely on the basis of volunteer work within the boundaries of the Lake Orion School District. Candidates need not live or work in Orion Township or the district to be eligible, unlike last year.
Candidates cannot be elected government officials of any office, members of the OAPG Board or employees of Sherman Publications, Inc.
Duties of paid employment will not be considered in the Citizen of the Year selection process, only volunteerism.
A selection committee consisting of Review staff and OAPG members will review the eligible nominations and make the final vote.
