Know an extraordinary volunteer? Nominations are open for the 2016 Nevada Andrus Award for Community Service!

They're in the community every day - volunteering, making a difference, lending their time and talent to help those in need.  They work in food banks and animal shelters, in schools and in hospitals - improving our communities and enhancing quality of life for others .  They are often unsung heroes, working and giving without recognition or thanks -  just because it's the right thing to do.  If you know an extraordinary volunteer age 50 or older, show your appreciation by nominating him or her for the 2016 AARP Nevada Andrus Award for Community Service!
