GOLDEN ACORN AWARD

This year's Golden Acorn Award will be awarded on February 11, 2008

RECOMMENDATION FORM

Golden Acorn - A Golden Acorn Award is presented, by a local PTA unit or council, to a volunteer in recognition of his/her dedication and service to children and youth. Since the beginning of this program, more than 46,000 Golden Acorns have been presented to volunteers throughout Washington State. The award recipients will be given a gold pin in the shape of an acorn, and a special certificate. A contribution in the name of the recipient(s) is made by the honoring PTA to the Washington State PTA Financial Grant Foundation. From these contributions, the foundation is able to provide approximately $66,000 in scholarships to freshman students entering post-secondary education.

Each year the Northshore Council PTA gives Golden Acorn Awards to people who have given exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our school community. The Golden Acorn is given for continued and dedicated service. The individual who receives the Council Golden Acorn Award should have volunteer experience at the local unit level and the Council level, as well as in the community and/or with the school district. This is an excellent way to honor PTA/PTSA members for their contributions on behalf of children.

We would like you to participate in the selection of our award recipients through your recommendations. You may nominate more than one person. The Golden Acorn Committee will make the final selection. Any questions contact Debra Clark or Eileen Gardner, 2007 Northshore Council PTSA Golden Acorn Recipients.
