An elderly services award category has been added to NACo’s upcoming April 2001 Acts of Caring awards program.

The need for elderly services continues to grow across the country, and NACo understands the vital role these volunteer programs play within a community.

If you manage a successful elderly services volunteer program, your program could receive an Acts of Caring award. The Acts of Caring awards honor exemplary volunteer programs focused on elderly services and 10 other categories: arts and culture; civic education and public information; criminal justice, emergency management, environment, health services, libraries, parks and recreation; programs for children and youth; and social services.

The deadline for entry is December 29, 2000.

To find out more about the awards or how to apply, please contact the Acts of Caring services bureau at (202) 387-8550 or visit the NACo Web site at http://www.naco.org.
