Murrieta, Temecula Valley Nominees Sought For Humanitarian Award
The nominees should exhibit the virtues and requirements of a peaceful and just society, according to organizers.
The following is a news release from the Interfaith Council of Murrieta and Temecula Valley:
TEMECULA VALLEY, CA — The Interfaith Council of Murrieta and Temecula Valley (IFC) is looking for nominations for its fifth annual Humanitarian Award. Nominees may be an individual of any age, youth group, not-for-profit organization, business, faith-based organization, or governmental entity. Individuals must live or work in the local area. Online service providers as well as brick-and-mortar service providers are welcome to apply. National service programs are not considered unless there is strong local participation.
The objective of the award is to honor an individual or organization that exemplifies the objectives of the Interfaith Council, especially cooperation, equity, unity, respect, compassion, dignity, human rights, and justice, which are only a few of the virtues and requirements of a peaceful and just society. Think about these possible nominees: a neighbor who is cooking meals and running errands for an at-risk senior in the neighborhood, a friend who is buying food and lending rent money to help an out-of-work family stay in their home, a youth who is tutoring a child unable to attend school and falling behind in his studies, etc.
Anyone who would like to nominate an individual or organization may request the nomination form by calling 951-698-6116, or emailing martimusician@verizon.net , and we will email or mail you the form. Deadline for submission is October 17, 2022. Recognition will take place at the Night of Gratitude sponsored by the Interfaith Council on November 20, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
The Interfaith Council seeks to recognize service that demonstrates one or more virtues like courtesy, excellence, generosity, humility, integrity, responsibility, self-discipline, trustworthiness, and truthfulness. Virtues are qualities of character.
The IFC seeks to recognize service that demonstrates The Golden Rule, which is found in all religions. The Rule addresses reciprocity and is generally stated “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
The IFC seeks to recognize service that alleviates or eliminates prejudice.
The IFC seeks to recognize service that encourages social and/or economic justice.
The IFC meets on the second Tuesday of every month at Miller-Jones Mortuary, 26855 Jefferson Ave., Murrieta, from noon to 1:30 pm. New members and guests are always welcome.
To be added to the email list or for more information, please contact the secretary at 951-698-6116 or martimusician@verizon.net
