-Since 1995, the Rotary Club of Black River Falls has presented individuals and organizations with the Service Above Self Award to honor their significant contributions to the Black River Falls area.Criteria used to select recipients include volunteer activities, financial donations toward community projects, economic development activities, assistance given to members of the community and more. Regardless of the type of contribution made, the candidate must have improved the quality of life for the residents of the Black River area. The candidates must also exhibit high ethical standards in the conduct of their vocation. Rotary has honored over five-dozen individuals and organizations from the area. On August 13, Barb Pfaff received the Service Above Self Award for her work at the Jackson County Animal Shelter. Her passion for animals is evident in the dedication shown in helping the hundreds of pets she cares for every year. In addition, Barb has worked tirelessly to raise funds for a new shelter that will replace the existing outdated facility.
The Black River Area Community Band received the Service Above Self Award for their twenty years of performing for the Jackson County area. Their commitment to music has benefitted many through performances at area festivals, parades, and other area celebrations. The band has provided scholarships to students and funds to help the Alma Center and Black River Falls middle and high schools bands.
