Nominate the Herald's 2015 Person of the Year

Anyone who lives in Malverne and West Hempstead knows there are so many people who make the community and the world a better place. Whether they volunteer their time as a the leader of a community organization, coach a youth sports league, organize a charitable event or simply give their time or money to worthy causes, these people embody the giving spirit.

Next month, in our Dec. 31 issue, we will name our newspaper’s 2015 Person of the Year. The question is: who should this person be? I would like to hear from you.

As the editor of the Herald, I get to meet so many of these great people, and tell their stories on a weekly basis. It’s the highlight of my job.

But I also know that there are people out there who do good and never get any recognition for it. So many people give to their community and never seek anything in return. They do it simply for the love of helping others.

I want the Herald to honor a person who has gone above and beyond to make their world a better place. Nominations should be people who are volunteers and who have a compelling story, with significant ties to our community.

Please send me your nominations for our Person of the Year, and explain why you chose him or her. You can do this through an email to rweitekamp@liherald.com, or by phone (516) 569-4000 ext. 207 or by mailing in your nomination. The deadline is Friday, Dec. 4.

Thanks,

Rossana Weitekamp
