Governor Mike DeWine nominated former Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel as his new Lt. Governor.
They are volunteers and many agencies and organizations couldn't manage without them. Nominations are now being sought for the 2023 Jefferson Awards for public service. We all know someone that fits the bill of always saying yes when asked to help or the person that steps up in a time of need. This recognition is open to adults and youths in Allen, Auglaize, Putnam, Van Wert, Hardin, and Hancock Counties. Winners not only get a medallion but also a monetary donation to a non-profit of their choice.
The deadline for nominations has been extended to Dec. 31 as the Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of State Fire Marshal and the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Division of EMS is continuing to accept nominations through the holiday season for the annual Ohio Fire Service Hall of Fame & Fire Awards ceremony. The expanded event will honor recipients April 26, 2023 at the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) in downtown Columbus.
There are 3 categories of individuals, groups, and businesses to be recognized. LACNIP wants to say thank you to people who improve their community in any way from helping a neighbor to participating in a larger project that improves the neighborhood. Nominations are also open for the Shirley Daley Leadership Award for those who encourage collaboration, diversity, and promote a positive image for Lima - Allen County.
Nominations are now open for the 24th Annual Safe Community Awards. Anyone who lives, works, or plays, in the Lima-Allen County community, is able to nominate anyone they feel has made an effort to keep Lima safe. Winners of the awards will be recognized on September 28th at the annual awards luncheon.
It’s a longstanding national program to recognize “unsung heroes” in our lives. Those who give their time and effort to improve their community by volunteering. If you know of anyone that has made an impact in some way you are encouraged to nominate them. Nomination can come from Allen, Auglaize, Putnam, Hardin, Hancock, and Van Wert Counties.
