Dear Friends of Education:

Time has arrived to once again begin the nomination process for
The H. Glenn Williams Power of One Awards. The Awards, sponsored by Progress Energy, will be presented at the 4th Annual NC Education Ball on June 3, 2006 at the Progress Energy Center for Performing Arts in Raleigh.

Glenn Williams was a long-time CIS volunteer and champion for children across North Carolina. Glenn was gracious and good-natured with a friendly smile and a kind word for everyone. Because he was a man of faith, he brought joy wherever he went and found joy in everything he did, particularly in the smiles of the children he worked to help. He gave so many moments, days and years to help people. No task was too small or too large, and Glenn always helped with incredible enthusiasm. Glenn was an inspiration to everyone who knew him and a true example of the "Power of One"!

The H. Glenn Williams Power of One Award winners will affirm the difference Glenn made in the lives of many children. Individual volunteers, organizations and corporations may be nominated. Nominees are not required to have been involved with CIS, but should have demonstrated contributions of time and/or resources to educational efforts in North Carolina. A distinguished panel of North Carolina leaders will select up to three Power of One Award recipients. Recipients and their nominators will be notified in late April. Recipients will be honored at the Ball and receive media recognition and a unique memento of this special honor. In addition, a $1,000 contribution will be made in their name to the charity of their choice.

We invite citizens across North Carolina to nominate a volunteer, organization or corporation for The Awards. A short nomination form is attached. Nominations must be received no later than March 31, 2006. Nominations may be emailed to Melanie Williams, faxed: (919) 832-5436, or mailed to CISNC Attn: Melanie Williams, 222 N Person Street, Raleigh, NC 27601. If you have questions regarding the nomination process, please contact Melanie Williams (919) 832-2700.

We are proud to once again present The H. Glenn Williams Power of One Awards, and we welcome your nominations!

Sincerely,
