Nominations being accepted for 2008 'Kids Of Distinction' program Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto, together with Kids Helping Kids by Kids Way, Inc. Co-Founders Robert A.J. Eslick and Philip M. Eslick, announce that their co-sponsored "Kids of Distinction" program is returning for 2008. "The 'Kids of Distinction' program was initiated in an effort to recognize outstanding young people who have been active in exceptional endeavors in their community," Supervisor Venditto said. "At last year's ceremony, eight exceptional Town of Oyster Bay youngsters were honored for their commitment to their communities." Nominees will be placed in two categories, children currently in fifth through eighth grade and children in grades nine through 12. The age groups were established so nominees can be evaluated fairly against their peers. Four winners will be selected in each category by a committee organized by Kids Helping Kids. "There are so many wonderful young people living in the Town of Oyster Bay who not only demonstrate academic or extracurricular skills, but also do a little something extra to help make the world a better place," Venditto said. "We felt it was important to recognize our young residents who involve themselves in voluntary community, charity or civic activities on their own individual initiative."
Anyone who wishes to submit a nomination should fill out a nominating form and submit it to Kids Helping Kids by Kids Way, Inc., prior to the April 25 deadline. Nominating forms can be obtained at Town Halls North (Oyster Bay) and South (Massapequa), as well as at local libraries. Nominating forms can also be found on the Town's Web site, www.oysterbaytown.com. Winners will be recognized at an upcoming meeting of the Oyster Bay Town Board and will be presented from Kids Helping Kids a $500 scholarship, courtesy of title sponsor: Atlantic Millennium Auto Group and a commemorative plaque.
