Gentry Award

Nomination Form
Peggy
Billington, Executive Director of the United Way of Murray-Calloway
County has announced that the United Way is now accepting nominations
for the Kathie Gentry Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was
initiated in 2001 by the United Way Board of Directors to honor Kathie
Gentry, the longtime director of Need Line. “Kathie Gentry was an
inspiration to so many people. She spent her lifetime serving this
community,” said Billington.
The nomination must honor a person for a lifetime of
humanitarian service to others in our community. The nominees must be a
resident of Calloway County and should exhibit the characteristics and
attributes of Kathie Gentry which include being selfless; caring and
compassionate in a quiet, unassuming way; respectful of the humanity and
dignity of all people; and serving others above and beyond the call of
duty.
According to Billington, “Nomination forms can be picked
up at the United Way Office, or by following the criteria listed on the
Web or the Murray Ledger & Times.” Forms are a little more in-depth this
year and must be returned to the United Way Office by August 14th.
The award will be presented at the United Way Banquet
this year (see events for date, time, and place). “The Kick-Off Banquet
is one of the highlights of the year” said Billington, “and it’s always
gratifying for the United Way to honor someone who exemplifies the
things that Kathie Gentry stood for.” Previous honorees include Opal
“Tootie” Oakley, Peggy Williams, Eric Kelleher, and Thelma Warford.

your nominee. For more information, please call the United Way office at
