Sedona AZ (January 8, 2016) – Keep Sedona Beautiful will hold its 44th Annual Awards of Excellence event starting at 11:30 on February 13 in the ballroom at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa in Sedona.
Every year since 1972, KSB has recognized outstanding efforts to do what its name implies — to “keep Sedona beautiful” in many ways. The awards have been made to businesses, individuals and organizations for signage, landscaping, and for architecture that complements — rather than conflicts with — our natural setting. Awards also are earned for exemplary achievements in community service and environmental stewardship, as well as reduction of light pollution and noise.
KSB’s recognitions have extended beyond Greater Sedona, to other Verde Valley and county-wide organizations. Last year, a KSB award went to the City of Cottonwood for its wastewater recovery system.
This year’s KSB awards will be presented at the luncheon on February 13. Twelve awards will be made to deserving individuals and organizations. Emcees again will be the popular entertainers Tom and Shondra. Doors will open to the Los Abrigados ballroom at 11:30 a.m., and lunch will be served at noon, followed by the awards presentations.
The cost of the luncheon is $30 per person for KSB members and $35 per person for non-KSB members. A table for 10 may be reserved; with an honoree and guest at that table, for $245; otherwise a table for 10 is $300. To make a reservation, please contact Jan or Wendy at KSB: 928-282-4938 or email your request to ksb@keepsedonabeautiful.org.
