Nominations needed for 2020, 2021, and 2022 Community Service Awards

WAITSBURG-The Waitsburg Commercial Club (WBCC) has historically recognized the exceptional contributions of volunteers at their annual meetings. In 2015, the club included Business of the Year and added Employee of the Year in 2018.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, the club has not held an annual meeting since 2019. The 2019 recipients were Doris Huffman for Citizen of the Year, Whiskey C Sports Bar for Business, and Vanessa Vail for Employee of the Year.

This year the Waitsburg Commercial Club is asking for nominations for its 2020, 2021, and 2022 Community Service Awards covering service from nominees from 2019 through 2021.

• Citizen of the Year: A person who demonstrates exemplary community service with no remuneration or compensation

• Business of the Year: A business that demonstrates excellent, innovative entrepreneurial spirit to the benefit of the Waitsburg Community

• Employee of the Year: A person who is employed by a Waitsburg Business, helping to positively identify that business and who goes beyond their job description to be helpful to visitors and community members

The annual meeting has tentatively been scheduled for April 12, 2022. This promises to be a fun event with nine awards to be presented. The time and location will be announced soon.

The WBCC asks that you email nominations letters to waitsburgcc@icloud.com or mail them to Waitsburg Commercial Club, PO Box 451, Waitsburg WA 99361. The club considers all previously unawarded nominations each year
