Vice Mayor Russ Harter

Council Corner
June 13, 2002
by Vice Mayor Russ Harter


Community Wall of Fame
Last Fall one of my Council Corners was a reflection on and compliment to those people who have unselfishly served our community. People who willingly contribute their time and talents to enhance the lives of others here in Foster City.

In the article I pointed out that there was going to be a special recognition of those, who in the history of our City have made contributions of sustaining consequence. Contributions that have shaped the lives of many and have provided the foundations for this quality of life we call Foster City. This recognition will be a:
COMMUNITY WALL OF FAME

The details on this can be obtained from Karen Tremain at (650) 286-3215 and are available on our web site. Right now we are seeking ?nominations of individuals who have made significant long term community service contributions.? The deadline to nominate someone is Monday, July 1st. The nomination criteria include:

  • Minimum of ten years of community service in Foster City
  • Application must include 25 signatures from residents of Foster City supporting the candidate?s nomination
  • A spokesperson must present nominees? qualifications (a 3-5 minute presentation) to the community, the City?s Wall of Fame Ad Hoc Committee and, if the candidate is selected, to the City Council
  • Must have been a resident of Foster City during the time the nominee provided community service
  • Candidate may be living or deceased
  • Applicants must submit a photo of the candidate for a Wall of Fame Photo archive

    The Application for Nomination form and required signatures sheet are available at the Foster City Library and Community Center (located at 1000 E. Hillsdale Blvd.), at City Hall (610 Foster City Blvd.), the Recreation Center (650 Shell Blvd.) or online at www.fostercity.org. Those selected for inclusion in the Wall of Fame will be recognized at a City Council meeting.

    Take advantage of this opportunity and help us recognize and compliment some of these special neighbors who have done so much for us.
