January, 6 2009

Dear friends of Pride,

Every year Rainbow Pride of West Virginia takes the time to recognize
and award a person who has created positive change or supported the
needs and issues of the GLBT community.

Past winners have been political advocates, gay youth, and even local
politicians.

Perhaps you know of someone that should be recognized for their
efforts to improve, motivate, or support the needs of our community?
If you do, then we invite you to nominate them for this award.

Any member or ally of the community may nominate someone to receive
the award. There are two ways to be nominated. You may mail it to us
via the US Postal Service or deliver it in person at our regularly
scheduled meeting on January 25, 2009 at 2:30 PM.

Although not required, it is recommended that you include a brief
narrative (500 words or less) of why you feel the person you are
nominating deserves to be the 2009 Power of One Award recipient. A
copy of your unaltered, nomination will be mailed to our Dues Paying
members who will then vote to select the winner.

Nominations must be received in our mailbox no later than January
13th. If you are mailing in your nomination from outside Kanawha
County we recommend that you mail it in no later than Friday, January
9, 2009. This will allow time for the mail to process your letter.

Please Mail your ballot to:
Rainbow Pride of West Virginia
Attn: Power of One Nomination
Post Office Box 2624
Charleston, WV 25326

The Pride office is located at 501 Elizabeth Street in Charleston. If
you need directions to our office you may call (304)345-9938 and

your nomination!
