Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe seeking unsung heroes

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Over the past year, our community has produced many volunteers who gave service, without being asked or reimbursed, to people who really needed it. They didn't do it because it was their job or to win any awards or recognition, but just because they felt that it was the right thing to do. They acted with their hearts.

It may have been a professional like a police officer or firefighter who went above and beyond the call of duty or a private citizen who assisted someone who needed help with a doctor's appointment or just the store. In other words, a good samaritan saw a fellow citizen with a need and stepped up to help.

The Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe wants to find as many of those people as we can and recognize them for their service. Up to ten people will be selected - some of the most outstanding citizens. They will be introduced at an awards ceremony on November 14 at the Lake Tahoe Community College's Duke Theater. The volunteer(s) that the committee finds the most outstanding will receive a cash award.

If you know of someone you feel deserves this recognition, please visit at https://kiwaniscIuboflaketahoe.org/ and download the rules and an application.

The deadline for submission is Mon 11/4 at 5 p.m.

The awards are sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe and the South Tahoe Chamber of Commerce.
