In case you haven’t heard: The Orion Area Parade Group, in conjunction with The Lake Orion Review, is pleased to unveil the first annual Orion Citizen of the Year award.
Among other things the Citizen of the Year will be profiled in The Review, honored at the annual Holly Jolly Folly and serve as Grand Marshall of the Holiday Lighted Parade in downtown Lake Orion.
A nomination form is posted in our hardcopy issue this week and The Review will accept nominations until 5 p.m. on Oct. 19.
Eligible candidates must live or work in Orion Township (including the Village of Lake Orion) or in the Lake Orion School District. Candidates cannot be an elected government official of any office, a member of the OAPG Board or an employee of Sherman Publications.
Duties of paid employment will not be considered in the Citizen of the Year selection process, only volunteer work.
A nomination committee consisting of Review staff and OAPG members will review the nominations and submit all eligible nominees to the OAPG board, which will then make the final vote.
