Nominations Sought for IL Volunteer Awards
CHICAGO (AP) -- An Illinois commission is looking for nominees for volunteer service awards.

The Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service is accepting nominations through March 19.

The panel says the Governor's Volunteer Service Awards recognize volunteers who have "made a difference in Illinois."

The awards will focus on five areas: economic opportunity, education, environmental conservation, health and veterans' affairs.

The Serve Illinois Commission is a 25-member, bipartisan board appointed by the governor.

Winners will be notified by April 2 and will be invited to a luncheon at the Executive Mansion in Springfield on April 12.
