The Putnam County Youth Bureau and Youth Board will be hosting their 40th Annual 
Youth Awards Dinner and are in search of youth candidates who volunteer their time in 
the community, as well as one adult candidate who volunteers their time with youth in 
the community to be honored as the James F. Reitz award recipient. 
There are many high school students and adults who serve as positive role models in 
Putnam County, therefore we are asking you for your help to identify them! Each year 
the Putnam County Youth Bureau in collaboration with the Putnam County Youth Board 
hosts the Youth Awards Dinner to recognize these individuals for their extraordinary 
volunteer service in the community. Please support our efforts by nominating one or 
more students and/or adult(s) that deserve to be honored on Thursday, April 10th
, 2025, at 6:30 pm at Putnam County Golf Course for their exemplary community service efforts.
Candidate nominations will be accepted until Friday, November 15th. Please visit the
