The season is nearly over and now is a great time to send in recommendations for patrollers to recognize.   Below is a full listing of awards that are available to award each year.   I did include our PNS local awards, our Region Awards, Division awards and National awards.    We have had many PNS patrollers recognized at all levels in the past and they all deserved the recognition.   The way this happens is through all of you.   For instance, the PNS patrollers on Region Staff should be looking for PNS patrollers to recognize and PNS Division Staff Patrollers should look to recognize patrollers active at or above Division levels.   You are all close to the action and know who deserves the awards.

The same way, our PNS Crew Chiefs, instructors and Board know local people that should be given recognition.  You will have intimate knowledge as to why someone deserves an award.   It is the details in an award submission that makes the recognition stand out.

We also need input from all patrollers and candidates prior to selecting our own outstanding patrollers, candidates and instructors.   You can supply detail the awards committee will not have, again making the award creditable.   So please consider your fellow patrollers, what have they been doing the last few years and a brief outline of why you want to recognize them and some detail of the dates or events that are engaging.

Stop at our awards cabinet in the lodge.   It is filled with good memories and great patrollers.   Each award did take a bit of work, but once done, it is easy to see why our Patrol is Outstanding!   Please send in your recommendations to Mike or myself.
