Northeast Georgia Physicians Group Taking Nominations for Lavonia’s Margaret Ayers Award

The Northeast Georgia Physicians Group in conjunction with the Lavonia Clinic are now taking nominations for the fifteenth annual “Margaret Ayers Award for Civic Health.”

The annual award to be presented in October is named in honor of Margaret Ayers, civic activist, former Lavonia First Lady, and career banker.

Criteria to be considered for the award include being a resident of Lavonia, the nominee’s civic leadership, exceptional character, an appreciation of history as well as one who brings credit to the city.

Last year’s winner was Vivian Young, Executive Director of the Lavonia Downtown Development Authority and local historian.

Nomination forms are available at the Lavonia Clinic, the Northeast Georgia Bank, the Lavonia Chamber of Commerce and The Depot.

Forms are due by September 5.
