BATH — The Morse High School School Community Liaison Council has opened nominations for The Mainsail Award, which the SCLC has awarded since 1980. The Mainsail Award recognizes people who have made outstanding contributions to benefit the youth of the greater Bath community. Nominees should exemplify the ideals of American Citizenship such as respect and honesty, justice, individual freedom, and equal opportunity.
The nominee should have made a major contribution to the school, community, state, or nation, and be a current or past resident of the greater Bath area. On the morning of May 23, the SCLC will formally present the award at an assembly in Morse High School’s Montgomery Theater.
Current Morse students, current SCLC community members, and current RSU1 employees are not eligible for the award. The SCLC gives preference to individuals — as opposed to a single nomination for a husband and wife, for example — and to Morse High School alumni. However, a joint award could be considered. The S.C.L.C. thoroughly reviews all applications and meets the challenge of selecting a recipient for the award with a sense of gravity and honor.
The deadline for nominations is April 6, 2018. Applications can be found at www.RSU1.org
