RAGLAND Nominations open for annual Ashland volunteer award Comment By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Nov. 22, 2015 at 2:09 PM Updated Nov 22, 2015 at 2:11 PM By Local report Posted Nov. 22, 2015 at 2:09 PM Updated Nov 22, 2015 at 2:11 PM » Social News Nominations for the annual James M. Ragland Volunteer Spirit Community Service Award are due to the city by Friday, Dec. 4. Each year, the mayor and City Council recognize an Ashland citizen for his or her volunteer spirit and contribution to the Ashland community. The Volunteer Spirit Community Service Award was established in 1994 in honor of James M. Ragland. Mr. Ragland was a former councilor and planning commissioner who was involved in numerous citizen volunteer efforts. A committee of the mayor and council review the nominations and determine the annual award winner. Criteria is based on public sector volunteer service performed, length of service, absence of adequate recognition in the past and any other attributes the nominee may have that should be considered. Consideration is also given to people to volunteer hours beyond their regular work day to perform a service that benefits the community. This year's award will be given at the State of the City Celebration on Jan. 11. The first year's honoree, named in 1994, was Frank E'Entremont. In 1997, the award went to all the citizens of Ashland, for the countless volutneers who helped during that year's flood. The City Band won in 2007, Ashland Woodlands and Trails Association in 2009 and the Ashland Food Project in 2010, but overall individuals have dominated, with a total of 21 recognized. Nomination forms are available online at the city website (www.ashland.or.us) and at City Hall, 20 E. Main Street. For more information, call 541-488-6002.
