Posted by admin on March 31, 2009 under General |

The Lehigh County Office of Aging and Adult Services will be holding its Ninth Annual Tribute to “Unsung Heroes” on May 20, 2009 at 1 PM in the Lehigh County Government Center. This award honors several people for their great work in the Lehigh Valley community.

A PowerPoint presentation of hero photographs, words of wisdom and / or personal philosophy of life is coordinated and projected while each of 15 winning essays is read to an audience of 100 or so attendees.

Each hero receives a certificate from the Office of Aging and Adult Services, as well as commendations from their respective state representative and state senator, some of whom attend the event.

County Executive Don Cunningham and a member of the Commissioner’s Board wil be asked to hand out the certificates and commendations. This is a media covered event that usually runs about 2 hours.
