2014 Crystal Awards Dinner at Cottonwood Country Club
Twas the year 2009 when ideas bloomed in Sun Lakes with regard to recognition, thanks of appreciation, and honors for outstanding residents known for their volunteerism within the Sun Lakes Community areas. Meetings took place in the Splash office including Harvey Boyd of Western Broadband; Linda Robson, Robson Publishing; Stan Scott , Sun Lakes Charities; Dee Rasmussen, Sun Lakes Rotary Club and the managers of IronOaks, Randy Ankyny; Cottonwood/PaloVerde, Steve Nolan; SunBird, Layne Varney and Sun Lakes Country Club, Clint Warrell to initiate plans for such an honor. Thus, the Crystal Awards annual dinner evolved.
Since the inception on the Crystal Awards, each year Sun Lakes residents are asked to take time to make note of the outstanding volunteerism of our residents for the betterment of our community. You all know a special person or persons whose service significantly impacts our quality of life. Let’s honor them and let them know how valuable they are to each and every one of us.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
Nomination forms and Review Guidelines including selection requirements are available at each Home Owners office.
The deadline to submit your entry is November 30. Nomination forms are to be submitted to Crystal Awards P.O. Box 12102, Chandler, AZ. 85248.
On March 1, 2015 at the Oakwood Country Club, a fabulous dinner will honor the winning nominees with a presentation of their Crystal Award. Tickets may be purchased at any of the Homeowner offices.
