We are so happy to announce the recipients of our Volunteer and Business of the Year Awards!! We officially announced them and virtually showed the recipients their plaques at our Annual Meeting and will drop them off social distancing style soon. 🥁Drumroll please.....

The Volunteer of the Year Award goes to Sam Neisen of Exploration High School who has volunteered with SNO’s Community Programming Committee and planned our Anti-Racist Book Club. Thank you for bringing your ideas, insight, enthusiasm, and actions to SNO priorities and beyond, Sam!

The Business of the Year Award goes to Curiosity, a business in Sheridan which prioritizes our local community! Curiosity did so much to support community members throughout the last year, including donating items to the Sheridan Support Network and using their platform to share neighborhood events & information. Thank you for continuing to provide the neighborhood with whimsical gifts, decor, and for providing a space for independent artists to share their talents, Curiosity!
