We are over the moon in anticipation of celebrating our community at the 3rd Annual Joshuas Honors Gala, October 20th at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center. But before we can do that, WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
VOTING INSTRUCTIONS: You can only vote one time per email address. You don’t have to vote in all categories, but if you sign out before you are done voting, you will NOT be able to go back and finish voting under that same email address. If you have questions or accidentally log out before you finish voting, please send your questions or votes to TheJoshuas@JoshuaTreeVoice.com.
ABOUT THE NOMINATIONS: Over the summer, Joshua Tree Voice reached out to over 500 people working and creating in the greater Joshua Tree area. These are folks we have worked with over the years who range from business owners, artists, musicians, ecologists, non-profits, and the like. We gave a list of categories for outstanding efforts in the fields of music, art, ecology, local love, and culture. There were no suggested names offered, only the category description. The top 3 names that were mentioned most are now listed as nominees. In some cases, we had multiple ties for third, so we have more than four nominees in those categories. Previous Honors recipients were not eligible for nomination so that others who are contributing great things to our community can be celebrated.
If you are named as a nominee, please know that this is already a big win. You are seen. You are heard. You are recognized by multiple peers and have been named without any influence other than a deep appreciation for your efforts. If you are not named, that does NOT mean you are not appreciated. There were hundreds of names submitted. These are just the top few. Know that we see you and will be following your efforts and doing what we can as a publication to support your success.
Why a public vote? The reason we put the nominations to public vote is because it creates a unique platform to celebrate the nominees and make our community as well as subscribers from outside the area aware of efforts they may not have had the chance to discover. Through this platform, the world can learn about the number of quality, talented, diligent, and loving efforts being poured into our area by some wonderful human beings.
The popular vote will be announced at the 2024 Joshuas Honors Gala on October 20th at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center Sanctuary. The event will begin at 5 pm with a cocktail reception serving lite bites and spirt samples. A bar will be available to purchase additional beverages with the proceeds going to Joshua Tree Retreat Center. There will be over a dozen live music performances, additional food served at intermission as well as at the after party (all included in your ticket price of $39). Proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Hi-Desert and the Joshua Tree National Park Association. Tickets are available on our website: JoshuaTreeVoice.com
Thank you for taking the time to read, understand, and participate. See you at the party! – Lisa Lynn Morgan, Publisher
