Calling all Medfield volunteer nominations!

Posted on January 10, 2012 | Comments Off on Calling all Medfield volunteer nominations!

Deadline is Feb. 10

Stringing thousands of holiday lights downtown each year…

Keeping Medfield’s planters overflowing with flowers…

Saving a beloved historical house from demolition…

Organizing Medfield High School volunteers to support a variety of causes…

These are just a few of the hundreds of tasks that Medfield volunteers take on in a given year to give back to the community. Each day, quietly and without fanfare, our residents do remarkable things to help support Medfield causes. That’s why we need you to shed some light on Medfield’s many unsung heroes by nominating them for a Medfield Foundation, Inc. (MFI)  volunteer award.

This year, you can nominate Medfield residents for any of these three honors:

  • Volunteer of the Year,
  • Youth Volunteer of the Year, and
  • Lifetime Achievement Award (a new category for 2012).

Nominations for the 2012 volunteer awards are due Feb. 10. While the volunteers being nominated must be Medfield residents, those submitting nominations are not required to live in Medfield.

Do you have someone in mind who you’d like to nominate for a Medfield Foundation volunteer award?  Just go to www.medfieldfoundation.org/volunteer.html to learn more and download the official nomination form.

In 2011, the Volunteer of the Year award recipient was Bob Luttman, and the Youth Volunteer of the Year Award recipient was Deirdre Walsh. Information about their community service efforts (and many others) can be found at http://www.medfieldfoundation.org.

The Medfield Foundation will recognize award recipients and nominees at a community event at 4 p.m., Sunday, March 18, at the Center at Medfield on Ice House Rd.

If you have questions about the MFI volunteer awards, or need additional information, just send an e-mail to mfivolunteeraward@gmail.com.

Medfield Foundation now accepting volunteer award nominations

Do you know Medfield residents who dedicate countless time and energy to a worthy community cause or initiative?  If so, now is your chance to nominate someone for a Medfield Foundation volunteer award. This year’s nomination form, due Feb. 10, is now available on the Medfield Foundation Web site.

To help determine award recipients, the Foundation seeks to capture information about the volunteer’s work using these general criteria:

* Action — What does the nominee actually do in his/her capacity as a volunteer?
* Need — What community need(s) does the nominee address?
* Impact — How is nominee’s volunteer work making a difference?
* Inspiration — What makes the nominee unique or special?

* Verification – Who else can serve as a reference for the nominee’s volunteer work?

Anyone interested in submitting a nomination for one of the 2012 Medfield Foundation volunteer awards can download the official form from http://www.medfieldfoundation.org/volunteer.html. Completed nomination forms should be e-mailed as Word or PDF attachments to MFIVolunteerAward@gmail.com no later than Friday, Feb. 10.

In 2011, Bob Luttman received the Volunteer of the Year award, and Deirdre Walsh received the Youth Volunteer of the Year award. Additionally, more than 20 other nominees also received recognition at last spring’s reception.

The Foundation’s 2012 volunteer recognition event is scheduled for Sunday, March 18 at The Center at Medfield on Ice House Road. More details will be available in the months ahead.

Questions or requests for more information can be sent to the committee at MFIVolunteerAward@gmail.com.  To learn more about the Medfield Foundation, go to www.medfieldfoundation.org.
