Shelly-Hometown+Heroes+Resources

While doing investigating and research for this project I became interested in the Hometown/Local Heroes theme. I was curious about other cities or towns that celebrated their local heroes. I found information regarding national and local contests. Here are some links about hometown Heroes.

Sue Smith- the first This Old House National Hometown Hero. She created a charity called The Pajama Connection.

Maryland Teachers - nominate a teacher who makes a difference.

Maryland Hometown Heroes - Governer Martin O'Malley travels across the state to honor local heroes.

Shelby No-Kill Animal Shelter - local residents and vets offer their time and services to rescue and care for animals that might otherwise be euthanized.

Home Federal Bank - a Tennesse program to honor everyday citizens who do extraordinary things.

Dylan Beckham - an eleven year old is honored for his efforts to eliminate bullying.

There are many heroes among us. They can be young, old, rich, or poor. There are people that make a difference each and every day.
