Citizen of the Year award nominations open now
Each year, the Kiwanis Club of Oxford recognizes volunteers in the community for having a positive impact on the city.
The Oxford Kiwanis Club is soliciting nominations for its Citizen of the Year and Years awards.
Citizens of the Year are honored for contributing to making the Oxford Community a better place to live within the current year, while the Citizen of the Years award “honors those whose commitment to community services covers a longer span of time,” according to a press release from the Kiwanis Club.
Residents who have made contributions to the community through volunteer efforts are eligible. Responsibilities included as part of employment are not eligible for consideration.
Mike Rudolph will accept nominations until noon on Wednesday, Dec. 4. Nominations can be mailed to 5995 Fairfield Road, Suite 1, Oxford, OH 45056 or emailed to Rudolph at mrudo200@aol.com.
Nominations should indicate which category the nomination is for and include a written background on the nominee, as well as what contributions they have made to the community to make them eligible. Nominators should include their own phone numbers and emails in case additional information is needed.
Previous recipients of the awards are eligible to participate in a discussion to select this year’s winners and should email Rudolph if they plan to attend.. The selection committee will meet from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Dec. 7 at The Knolls of Oxford Clubhouse.
Recipients of the 2024 awards will be announced in January 2025 in the Oxford Free Press. A luncheon will be held for recipients on Feb. 25, 2025 at The Knolls of Oxford. Recipients will receive a reproduction of a watercolor of Uptown Oxford by Marjorie Bowers.
