Every year, for the past 10 years, a group of outstanding citizens of our town have been selected to be the recipients of The Malibu Times Dolphin Awards for outstanding community service. Since 1999, more than 100 citizens have been honored for their contributions to our town and they receive their awards at a special awards ceremony usually in late January or early February. We’d like you to help us identify candidates for the Year 2000 Dolphin Awards. We have printed a list of all the previous awardees on page A10.
My wife Karen best described Dolphins in her recent letter to the editor.
“Dolphins come in many flavors. Some contribute their energies to helping our children, our seniors or our homeless. Others make their contributions through city government, educational institutions or service clubs, while others are engaged in programs or organizations which further our city’s environmental, intellectual, esthetic and cultural life. Some have focused on recent community or personal challenges, while others have provided leadership for many years. As there are innumerable ways and means of making a difference, there are no specific categories or age requirements. Dolphins have been awarded to organizations, couples, students–the common denominator is their contributions to Malibu.”
