Its that time again folks. We need to vote for all the worthy amongst us that deserve awards this year-to be handed out at the KSCC year end party at Mr. Darcy's in Ludlow,Vt. Dec. 5th.
Please send your nominations to either Michele via Facebook-or to me at sdwarf36@aol.com
Rookie of the Year
Mystery Award
Pushrod of Promise
Walt Rowe Sportsmanship Award
Most Improved Driver
Worker of the Year
Background info:
In general the awards are intended to be given to KSCC members.
However we have more than once given awards to non members. We
don't think this is a bad thing where the person is the obvious
choice but on the other hand these are KSCC awards so we should
favor members.
A description of some of the less obvious the awards below.
The Mystery Award is given for something that is a mystery or
should remain a mystery. Sometimes we give it out to something
that just seems strange.
Pushrod of Promise is given to someone who is relatively new to
the club (but not usually a rookie) and who shows a lot of promise.
Worker of Distinction awards are sometimes given to recognize
exceptional efforts made by some individual or group. It can
also help sort things out when we cannot agree on who gets the
worker of the year because there is more than one person who
deserves recognition.
Here were last year’s winners:
