Moorestown Citizen Of The Year Nominations Now Being Accepted

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The Moorestown Service Clubs Council has begun the process of selecting the 2022 Citizen of the Year, the council announced this week.

The award, handed out annually since 1954, recognizes a Moorestown resident who has engaged in community service through individual volunteer effort and/or participation in group activities unrelated to their employment. The first recipient was Percy B. Lovell. Last year’s winners were Pete and Julie Bender.

Their contribution of public service can be made at elected or appointed positions at any level of government, or can simply be comprised of multiple and varied volunteer efforts, including services that help bring the community closer together.

The Moorestown Service Clubs Council consists of representatives from the Moorestown Rotary Breakfast and Luncheon Clubs, and the Moorestown Lions Club. They select the winner after they review the nominating petitions submitted by members of the community.

The nomination forms are available in two formats:

• Hard copy paper form at The Community House and The Moorestown Hardware Store; and
• Online at www.thecommunityhouse.com or www.moorestownrotary.org.

The nominations must be completed and submitted no later than Dec. 1. The council will make its selection at the December meeting and announced promptly thereafter, according to the clubs.

The winner will be honored during a special dinner at The Community House on Feb. 2, 6 p.m.
