Each year since 1961 Woodlake has honored those who do so much for the community. Since that time the city has presented 241 awards. If you are a long time resident, you probably remember these names. They all contributed hours of service to make Woodlake the town it is today. Now it's our turn to make a difference and honor those who work hard. January 31st is the last day to submit
nominations for 2015 honorees. Click on the link for the nomination form and instructions.
