“It is extremely gratifying that even in these difficult times, so many individuals, groups and organizations are continuing to make such an impact on the quality of life here in the Truckee Meadows,” said Elaine Lancaster, co-chair of Accentuate the Positive. “We look forward to honoring them at Accentuate the Positive for the important work that they are doing.”
This year, nearly 100 nominations were submitted through the TMT Web site during the months of March and April. The review committee, made up of active community members and leaders, had the difficult job of reviewing each nomination with the intention of identifying one Silver Star for each of the 33 Quality of Life Indicators.
The 2009 Silver Star award recipients will showcase their award-winning projects and efforts at the October Accentuate the Positive luncheon.
