Last Chance: Nominate Someone for the Presidential Citizens Medal

If you aim high, you'll land amongst the stars.

For the first time ever, you have a chance to nominate a resident of Gilroy for the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal.

Know someone who volunteers in their free time to make their community or the world a better place? Do you know someone in Mountain View who goes above and beyond the call of duty? Someone who sees a problem and works to fix it? Someone who's impacted the lives of others?

In 2011, three of the 12 recipients were Californians. Their contributions ranged from helping veterans with mental illness, and who are homeless and disabled. Another created a music program for under-served children.

There are plenty of people in Gilroy who do good. Share it with the world!

Nominations online are due by 11:59 EST/8:59 PST.

Good luck!
