[Vision2020] November 10 Community Unity Award

[Linda Pall]

Dear Visionaries,

The Moscow Human Rights Commission has assisted Mayor Comstock in the establishment and award of Moscow's first Community Unity Award named in honor of Ismat Ara and Abdul Mannan Sheikh. The first ceremony for this award will be Thursday evening at the 1912 Center.

It would be a wonderful thing if many of the writers and readers of V2020 could come to celebrate unity and take pleasure in the variety of opinions we offer and the unique personages who offer them! Join us! You'll be very welcome.

It's a great time to come together, after a campaign and with everyone looking to a positive future  for Moscow. Hope to see you!

All the best,

Linda Pall
Moscow City Council

FIRST BIENNIAL SHEIKH COMMUNITY UNITY AWARD 

 

Thursday, November 10, 2005

MAYOR MARSHALL COMSTOCK WILL PRESENT THE FIRST BIENNIAL SHEIKH COMMUNITY UNITY AWARD 
 

The award is to honor the memory of two outstanding Moscow citizens, Ismat Ara Sheikh and her husband, Abdul Mannan Sheikh, who demonstrated the meaning of community unity in their personal lives and outreach to the Moscow community. This was marked in particular with their open invitation to anyone for community Thanksgiving meals they hosted for many years in Moscow.  The Ismat Ara and Abdul Mannan Sheikh Community Unity Award is a biennial civic award to highlight and honor achievements of a Moscow citizen or group who have made outstanding commitments to community unity, and who have a history of significant effort on behalf of diversity and human rights in Moscow and the surrounding community. Nominations were taken and the selected nominee will be announced at 1912 Center festivities Thursday night.

 

The award includes a plaque and inclusion of the recipient's name on a central plaque to be housed in a prominent place in the City as well as the planting of a commemorative tree on city property to honor the award recipient and the Sheikhs.

 

Refreshments will be served.
