In 1960, the Glide Community Club started the Glide First Citizen
Celebration. It was an opportunity to recognized the deeds of
outstanding citizens. To give the community a chance to say thank
you to those very special people who give their time and talents freely
to the community. Over the years a lot of very noteworthy
individuals have been recognized.

One of the traits of these civic minded individuals is that they are often not in the limelight, but work behind the scenes. It is easy for their endeavors to go unnoticed. That is why it is so important for the community to nominate individuals for this award. Neighbors, pastors, friends or co-workers are the ones who see what these people do. That is why the First Citizen Committee asks for the community to submit names for consideration. The nomination form can be found on this web site.
