We are now accepting nominations for our sportsperson of the year and will have a vote at our General Membership Meeting in June. The reason for this is because we don’t meet in July & August and we vote at the October meeting, which is very close to our honoring dinner date and it does not give our honoree too much time to contact family and friends who may want to be present at the dinner presentation. A lot of family and friends may be out of town and it does not leave much time to make travel plans. In addition to that, it does not leave us much time to order our plaques for our Sportsperson-of-the-Year honoree and the Youth Education Award honoree. So all in all it seems to make sense to have the nomination and election process much earlier.
If you wish to nominate someone, please submit a bio of at least 250 words. Don’t worry about typing and spelling, etc. When we have elected a nominee, if I need more or less words to make the bio fit in our brochure, I will work with the nominating club to accomplish this.
The dinner again this year will be held at the Crystal Pt. Yacht Club in Pt. Pleasant on Sunday, November 9th, 2015. Ticket prices are the same as last year, $75 per head or $600 for a table of 10.
If you have any questions, please contact me at the JCAA office or by email at pturi6@comcast.net.
