The Winkler Community Foundation is looking for the next Citizen of the Year. The annual award is presented to an individual that goes above and beyond to give to their community.

"At the core of Winkler are inspiring people who live here," WCF Executive Director Myra Peters says. "The people who motivate and take action, who get involved and make a difference... they are the behind-the-scenes catalysts, the connectors and the motivators."

She notes award winners are not defined by age, and their impact is not measured by the length of time they've spent in the community.

WCF is currently accepting nominations until June 1. The award will be presented at the Citizen of the Year banquet September 27. To make a nomination, go here: www.winklercommunityfoundation.com

"We invite you to nominate the outstanding and inspirational people in your life," Peters says. "It’s time to recognize the people in our community who shine and inspire us to do the same."
