FRAMINGHAM, MA -- What once started as a vision over seventeen years ago has grown into one of Framingham's most cherished annual events. Each year the Salute to Framingham Dinner Committee will honor three individuals who have done much for Framingham's youth.

We encourage everyone from Framingham to consider nominating an individual, from any sector of the community, who has made a difference in the lives of the youth of our town. The basic criteria for this nomination are that the individual has given selflessly to the youth of Framingham.

All nominations received will be kept on file and reviewed in January of each year. To be considered as a recipient for the 2009 Salute to Framingham, written and online nominations must be submitted by January 5, 2009. The committee will be meeting the following week to select the recipients.

Visit Framinghamflyers.com and click on Salute to Framingham to submit a nomination online or to obtain more information on the event. Letters of nomination may be mailed to Salute to Framingham, Box 2367, Framingham, MA 01703.

Plan to attend the 17th Annual Salute to Framingham Dinner at the Sheraton Framingham in March.
