The nomination period has opened for the annual Les Tupper awards, presented each spring to organizations, businesses, individuals and high school students who have given long-term and broad-based volunteer services to the community.

The sponsoring agency for the awards is the La Cañada Flintridge Coordinating Council, which has posted nomination forms and criteria on its website, www.lcfcc.info.
