Garrett seeks ‘Most Beautiful Person’

For the Cumberland Times-News

OAKLAND — The 2012 Garrett County’s Most Beautiful Person contest is accepting nominations until Aug.24.

The Most Beautiful Person contest is for those who have enriched the lives of county citizens by their acts of kindness and concern.

Each year, county leaders conduct a search for unsung heroes who selflessly assist those around them. They are volunteers of any age whose acts of goodwill have previously gone unnoticed. These “Beautiful People” make a difference in Garrett County by donating their time and talent to help those in need.

This is the 26th year of program, which hosted each year by the Board of Garrett County Commissioners.

Those who know of someone who continuously contributes their time and talent to enhance the quality of life and community spirit in Garrett County can send in a nomination form so they can be honored at the annual Garrett County’s Most Beautiful Person awards presentation.

Nomination forms are available on the web at www.garrettcounty.org or by calling Carol A. Riley-Alexander at 301-334-8970. Those nominating a candidate are reminded the award is based on volunteer service only.

Nominate Candidates for Garrett County's 2012 Most Beautiful Person

This year marks the 26th year of Maryland’s You Are Beautiful program. Each county establishes how they wish to celebrate volunteer efforts in their county. The mission of the program is to promote local community—living, working, and playing together for a better tomorrow.

Celebrating 26 years honoring volunteers in Maryland, The Maryland You are Beautiful Program, in conjunction with the Governor’s Office of Service and Volunteerism, and Maryland Life, is now accepting nominations for the 26th Annual “Maryland’s Most Beautiful People” Volunteer Awards. The deadline for nominations is August 24, 2012.

Each year the pubic is invited to nominate individuals or groups that have made significant contributions to communities through their unpaid volunteer efforts. A local committee then chooses GC’s Most Beautiful Person.

All nominees for Garrett County will be recognized by the Board of County Commissioners at a local award ceremony. One nominee will represent the County at a statewide ceremony and dinner in Baltimore later in the year.

Garrett County's Most Beautiful Person chosen

Oct. 6, 2011

GC's Most Beautiful Person for 2011 is Mary Frantz. The announcement was made on Tuesday during the county commissioners' public meeting at the courthouse. The Friendsville resident was nominated by Mildred Wucik. Each year the pubic is invited to nominate individuals or groups that have made significant contributions to communities through their unpaid volunteer efforts. A local committee then chooses GC's Most Beautiful Person. "Mary Frantz is one of our angels on Earth," Wucik wrote in her nomination. "For many years she has participated in the Relay for Life and Hospice walks. For most years, she has been one of the top collectors." In addition, Frantz has been a volunteer caregiver for the terminally ill for 27 years, helps numerous groups with their fundraising dinners, regularly donates to local food banks, visits nursing home residents and hospital patients to give encouragement, and transports individuals who can no longer drive. The commissioners presented Frantz with a proclamation and glassware from Simon Pearce. Sen. George Edwards also presented her with proclamations from the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates, congratulating her for being chosen the county's Most Beautiful Person. Also nominated for the award were Tom Browning, Ann Smith, Don Sincell, Cindy Kutchman (posthumously) and Sandy Bell, Mary Jane Harvey, Mark Durst, Kathy Savage, Dick Schrock, and Brenda Brosnihan. Edwards congratulated all the nominees. "Thank you for all the outstanding work that you do to make Garrett County a much better place," the senator said.
