Community Service Award

PURPOSE
Recognize FCE groups or individuals who through their community service projects are changing the lives of others for the better.

Because of who we are and what we do, we are active in changing the lives around us for the better. Many of the projects that members do deserve recognition, but do not fall under the umbrella of any of the National FCE program awards. This award will encompass and honor those projects.

This is not a project award that carries a monetary reward. The reward comes in helping others.

RECOGNITION

of the project will be given to one entry from each state. Each state will receive a

CERTIFICATE and a set of HEARTH FIRE LESSONS. (The State organizations can recognize any other state entries however they choose.)

Each submission must include a program report book and a display board. Entry books will be submitted on 8½X11 paper stapled together and will follow the format listed below. Award display boards should include pictures, newspaper clippings, and any other printed media that will help you tell your story.

(The tri-fold display boards are ordered free of charge from National headquarters. Display boards need to be ordered by January 15.)

A copy of the program report book and a picture of the display board need to be mailed to the National FCE Headquarters, 73 Cavalier Blvd Ste 106, Florence KY 41042, postmarked by April 15, of the current year.
