Judson at University Circle is seeking nominations for its 2010 Smart Living Awards, which will be announced on WCLV FM 104.9 in April. Though Judson is well known for its programs and services focusing on active older adults, the Smart Living Awards honor people of all ages who contribute to the vitality of University Circle. Award categories are Arts, Education, Healthcare, Philanthropy and Volunteerism.

Among 2009's Smart Living Award winners was Ella Mae Johnson, who at 105 was the oldest attendee at President Barack Obama's inauguration. Senator Sherrod Brown provided tickets for Johnson, a lifelong social justice worker, to see the historic event.

Considering University Circle's continuing revitalization, it seems Judson could, and should, be swamped with worthy nominees. Volunteers in particular keep the Circle's vaunted institutions rolling along - who do you know that's had a serious impact on the neighborhood?

The deadline for nominations is March 22. For a nomination ballot, and to read about other previous winners, please visit www.judsonsmartliving.org, or call Rob Lucarelli at 216-791-2321.
