Nom­i­na­tion Form for Golden Deeds Award

This exclu­sive Exchange Club pro­gram hon­ors the quiet, good deeds of America’s unsung heroes. The woman who reg­u­larly donates her time to care for dis­ad­van­taged children—the man who vol­un­tar­ily instructs dis­abled per­sons in some skill or craft— these are the kinds of excep­tional indi­vid­u­als that the Book of Golden Deeds Award aims to rec­og­nize. These extra­or­di­nary men and women exist in every com­mu­nity and might not oth­er­wise be rec­og­nized for their tir­ing efforts. The annual “Book of Golden Deeds Pro­gram” awards ban­quet has become the social event of the year because the hon­ored recip­i­ent is truly a hero of the community.

 

Pur­pose:

 Vol­un­teer efforts are very impor­tant to our soci­ety and should not go unno­ticed. The National Exchange Club’s longest run­ning Pro­gram of Ser­vice, the Book of Golden Deeds Award, rec­og­nizes ded­i­cated vol­un­teers who give end­less hours of their time and tal­ents toward mak­ing their com­mu­ni­ties bet­ter places to live. Ever since the Exchange Club of Hunt­ing­ton, Ind., spon­sored the first award in 1919, thou­sands of unsung heroes and hero­ines have been recognized.

Hon­or­ing a fel­low cit­i­zen with the Book of Golden Deeds Award is a heart­warm­ing and inspir­ing act not only for the hon­oree, but for any Exchange Club. The Book of Golden Deeds Award exem­pli­fies The National Exchange Club’s beliefs.
