NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The MLK Jr. Day Committee is looking for nominations for the 2015 Peacemaker Award.
The Peacemaker Award is given annually to an individual or group in Northern Berkshire. The award, which originated as part of the local celebration of the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr., is made to persons who have contributed substantially to peace in our region.
In general, the Peacemaker Award recognizes persons who have a history of working with people and/or neighborhoods and communities to provide for greater tolerance, understanding, and caring. While the award may be made to a person or group well known in the region, those making nominations are particularly urged to consider those who have worked hard and have made contributions without much recognition.
To nominate a Peacemaker, pick up a form at the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition office at 61 Main St., Suite 218, North Adams, or call Liz Boland at 413-663-7588, ext. 19. Nominations must be received by Dec. 22.
