Florence First AND Future First Citizen Nominees Announce
The Florence First Citizen Committee is excited to announce a special banquet that will celebrate and recognize the Florence First Citizen and Future First Citizen leaders in our community.
Florence First Citizens are individuals who prioritize service over self, dedicating their time, expertise, and thoughtful energy to enhance our community's quality of life. These awards are given to community members of the Florence area who have demonstrated exemplary citizenship through their actions and dedication to the community over the years. They may be quietly contributing to your organization with ideas and time, or they could be leaders within your group, working diligently to bring new ideas and projects to fruition.
We will also recognize a senior high school student as Florence First Citizen, who exemplifies civic involvement and contributes to the welfare and improvement of Florence and/or the surrounding communities. They will receive a $2,500 scholarship from the Marteen Wick Scholarship Fund.
Formerly part of the Siuslaw Awards, this event will highlight the generosity and commitment of individuals in the Florence community who have selflessly contributed to its growth and prosperity.
This year’s nominees for Florence First Citizen are Carol Bennett and Steve Skidmore. The nominees for the Future First Citizen are Macali Lade, Kamorah Lake, Macy McNeill, Storm Kurth, and Addison McNeill.
This special recognition banquet will take place on April 29th at the Florence Events Center from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $25 and include a delicious light lunch and sweet treats. They can be purchased online at www.thegooddeedprojectflorence.com. The deadline is April 18th.
Please join us in celebrating all the amazing community members who put Florence first.
