The East Village Restoration Committee would like to congratulate Leonard Bowman. Leonard was nominated for the Chickasaw Citizen of the Year award! Although Leonard wasn't selected as this year's citizen of the year, just receiving the nomination was quite an honor. The other nominees for the award were Marilyn Jones and Barbara Pulliam, with Barbara being selected as the winner. Leonard's hard work in the City, and more recently as president of the East Village Restoration Committee was the reason behind the nomination. In a move that was true to his style, and partially why Leonard received the nomination, just 1 hour after the announcement that he didn't receive the award, Leonard was helping with a cleanup in the East Village for a disabled neighbor. Thank you, Leonard!
