Name That Hero
Do you have a hero? The American Red Cross, Cape Cod and Islands Chapter, and Cape and Islands United Way are looking for nominations for their annual Heroes awards. These heroes will be recognized at the 10th annual Heroes Breakfast in March, next year. Now, though, is the time to nominate a Vineyarder. Tell the organizers about any heroic act your hero performed between Dec. 15, 2010 and Dec. 21, 2011 (there is still time to be a hero!).
