Gnome Nominations 

The Gnome Committee is always looking for nominations for gnomes in our community. The person you select to be honored should be someone who has served the community and his/her fellowmen in an exemplary way over the years, exerting a positive influence on the growth and well being of the community as a whole; as well as each individual member. He/she may have achieved a specific honor, but that is not the determining factor to become the honoree. Often our Gnome puts the service to others before personal gain or comfort and gives generously of time, talent and resources without compensation or recognition.
The following is the current list of Gnome nominations. The listed year indicates when each person was nominated. The nominees remain on the list for a period of 5 years. Information stating the reason for your nomination makes a huge difference when choosing the gnome!
