PENTWATER — The Pentwater Service Club is accepting nominations for the club’s 2026 Citizen of the Year.
The winner will be recognized at an Oct. 6 community dinner and program held in their honor at the Pentwater Yacht Club.
“For more than 50 years the PSC has recognized an area citizen for her/his outstanding community service through civic, charitable, educational, or other activities to earn our community’s most prestigious award: Pentwater Citizen of the Year,” said Bob French, incoming president who will serve as master of ceremony at the October event.
Nomination forms are available at www.pentwaterserviceclub.org under Citizen of the Year, then click the nomination form for 2026 Citizen of the Year.
Persons previously nominated are kept on file and reconsidered each year, so it is not necessary to nominate them again.
The nomination form is easy to fill out and may be submitted by anyone, regardless of where they live. Submissions must be in writing and received by the PSC no later than May 26. All nominations will be considered—the candidate does not have to be a member of the PSC.
“Past winners have typically spent years in service to Pentwater area not-for-profit organizations that have historically made Pentwater the special place it is to live and raise a family,” said Claudia Ressel-Hodan, a member of the organizing committee.
Tickets to the 2026 Citizen of the Year celebration will go on sale Sept. 3, at Port View Wine and Spirits, Up North Market, or from any PSC member. Attendance is limited to the first 100 persons.
