2008 American
Cancer Society Allen County Appreciation Dinner
Volunteer
and Cancer Survivor Nominations
      
As stated by its mission, the
American Cancer Society "is the nationwide community-based voluntary
health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health
problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering
from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service." 

Achieving the American Cancer
Society (ACS) mission depends on the commitment of many individuals
who go unrecognized for their selfless work.   On Thursday,
May 22, 2008, the ACS will host its first Appreciation Dinner
in Allen County at the Shawnee Country Club in Lima, Ohio. 
This dinner will honor volunteers and cancer survivors and show our
gratitude for their achievement, compassion, courage and inspiration
in advancing the cause of the ACS.   One volunteer and one
cancer survivor who exemplify exceptional commitment of service and
achievement will receive a special award. 
We are currently accepting
nominations for these awards.  Please consider the following criteria
