The 2010 Jefferson Awards for Public Service

We are looking for Wyoming people who make a difference...individuals who have made Wyoming, and the world, a better place. The Jefferson Award program, presented by Hilltop National Bank, KCWY News 13 and ServeWyoming.org, honors ordinary people who through volunteer service do extraordinary things for other people, their community, their nation or the environment. Since 1977, when the program began in the state of Washington, many outstanding people have earned Jefferson Awards medallions.
