October 2, 2010 - San Fernando Valley Leaders of Character

To all adults in Balboa Oaks,

If you attended our exceptional Balboa Oaks Adult Recognition Celebration you would have heard about our upcoming San Fernando Valley Leaders of Character event.  We would like to fill in those of you who were not there.  This event has 3 purposes:

  1. To honor outstanding men and women in our San Fernando Valley who exemplify the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their lives.
  2. To provide positive city wide publicity and promote the Boy Scouts of America to our San Fernando Valley and beyond.
  3. To raise needed funds for our Scouting Program.

This event will be October 2nd, 2010 at a location to be determined, Universal Studios and Warner Center are 2 of the places under consideration.  It will be a gala, tuxedo optional event.  We will be partnering with the Las Colinas District in this event.  More details will be upcoming.

Our first priority is to choose our Leader of Character honorees.  This is where we need your eyes, ears and experiences.  We would like you to nominate your friends, associates, business partners or anyone who you think would be good candidates for this award.

You can go to our website and download an application to mail in, or you can fill out the form right there online.  You may nominate Scouters and also reach out to the community and nominate those not involved in Scouting.  Qualifications for nomination and a list of our previous honorees are on the website.  You may nominate as many people as you feel worthy.  People can not be considered without a submitted nomination.  Should your nominee be chosen, you and your guest will be provided free admission to the event so you can share in the celebration and see them honored.

Please take a few minutes to tell us who you think would be worthy of this prestigious award.  Don't think someone else will do it - it probably won't get done.  Nominations close on May 1, 2010, so don't delay.  Any questions feel free to contact me.
