EVENT IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT
When the City-County Observer was created 20 plus years ago an interesting phenomenon happened. Â After we published our first newspaper we started receiving several non-solicited news tips from several civic-minded individuals who were interested in our mission of encouraging “Good Public Policy.”
In appreciation of our past and present newsworthy contributors (MOLES). Today our contributors are 179 strong.  We designed a fun and creative award named in honor of our valuable news contributions which we present to individuals honored at our “Annual Community  Service Award Luncheon.”  To say the least, the “MOLES” awards have become a highlight at our awards ceremony.

QUICK BACKGROUND LESSON ABOUT OUR “MOLES”
We originally called our newsworthy contributors “MOLES.” Â Some people called them by different names such as rats, finks, traitors, snitches, and a variety of other non-printable names. In order that we could give them a more sophisticated title we recently renamed them “Newsworthy Contributors.”
From day one, we pledged that we would never let anyone know the identity of any of our anonymous “Newsworthy Contributors” We are proud to say that we have kept this pledge and shall continue to do so. Â In fact, the only person that has direct knowledge or contact with our “Newsworthy Contributors” is the CCO Publisher and you can rest assured that the list of our anonymous “Newsworthy Contributors” remain safe in his possession in life or his passing.
Originally, our “Newsworthy Contributors” were called “MOLES” were mainly from local City and County government employees. Â Today they come from all walks of life regardless of race, color, creed, economic and educational background, or political, religious, or sexual persuasions. Â Currently, we have 173 anonymous “Newsworthy Contributors.”
On November 1, 2023, community leaders will gather at BALLY’S-Evansville to observe the City-County Observer bestowing several “Community Service Awards†and a “MALE and FEMALE” Of The Year Awards to deserving individuals or organizations who are well-known leaders and volunteers throughout our community.
