LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Association of Realtors is seeking nominations for the
Byron Whipple and Hazel Pluth awards.

The Byron Whipple Award is for anyone who has an outstanding record of community service to Lake
County.

It is named for Byron Whipple, a Realtor who owned City Center Realty in Lakeport for many years.

Among his many contributions to Lake County, he used to have an annual turkey giveaway to families who needed one for Thanksgiving.

He was injured in a water skiing accident and was almost completely paralyzed, but he overcame these
challenges to continue to have an active life characterized by "giving back."

If you know someone who has overcome adversity and has a record of community service, the association would like to honor that person.

Please contact Mike Damiata at 707-998-1137or Mary Benson at 707-994-2269.
