Bill Nimons is now Platinum!


In an earlier blog, I congratulated Dave Grant and Pat Tarasovic for the community awards that they were receiving, and as if to prove that things happen in threes - I have another Valley United Way volunteer to congratulate. Board Member Bill Nimons has just been announced as this year's winner of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce's highest award for community service - The Platinum Award.

The award criteria speaks for itself. It is for someone who has been recognized with the Chamber's Gold Seal Award at least 10 years ago, and still remains active in the Community. Bill received his Gold Seal Award in 1990, but you would think it was just yesterday with his incredible and ongoing record of involvement. Bill was Chair of the Annual Community Fund Raising campaign back in 1986 and served as President of the Board in 1991. He is back on the Board now and is the Treasurer. You can read more about him by visiting the story about his 2006 Charles H. Flynn Humanitarian Award.

Bill will receive his award along with the Gold and Silver Award recipients at the Gold Seal Awards dinner in November. You can make reservations by visiting the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce website.
