 Amador County – The Jackson Rancheria has selected its 7th Annual Margaret Dalton Golden Nugget Award recipients for 2010, the Amador County Chamber of Commerce announced in its February newsletter. The awards will “honor and celebrate the selfless contributions” of Kathleen Harmon of the Interfaith Food Bank and Floyd Martin of the American Legion. The Amador Chamber newsletter said the “prestigious award is given to Amador County’s unsung heroes, an inspiration of the late Margaret Dalton, Jackson Rancheria's Tribal Chairperson for over 25 years.” The Jackson Rancheria Casino, Hotel & Conference Center will give the awards during a dinner Friday, March 12th at Thomi’s in Jackson. Kathleen Harmon is Executive Director of Amador County Interfaith Food Bank, which oversees fundraising and procurement of goods to operate daily food distribution, recruitment and management of the 100 percent volunteer staff. The Food Bank needs at least 60 volunteers each week to operate. The Chamber newsletter said Harmon is “a great human being who gives her time and efforts unselfishly to others.” Floyd Martin is a 24-year, “Paid up for Life” member of the American Legion. His history with American Legion includes service through Post, District and Department Chairs. Floyd is a Vietnam-era veteran who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1960-1964. Since his discharge he has continually contributed to his community, Amador County. He coached and umpired youth baseball for many years and is an Honorary Member of the Amador County Little League Association. He supported the Sober Graduation Program; served on the local volunteer fire department board of directors; and was 1 of 4 founders of Pioneer Community Park. Martin now serves veterans as Amador County Veterans Service Officer. He has held the position 10 years. The Chamber said “these are just a few of the highlights and accomplishments for which we are honoring Floyd.” Story by Jim Reece
