Today, our club was honored to present the Service Above Self Award to Gabriel, a recent graduate of Grants Pass High School.

Gabriel has been a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley for more than a decade and has consistently demonstrated leadership, character, and a commitment to serving others. Throughout his time at the Club, he has participated in numerous programs, including Youth of the Year, and has dedicated his time to mentoring younger teen boys through Passport to Manhood.

This fall, Gabriel will attend Rogue Community College to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Development. His goal is to return to the Boys & Girls Club as a staff member, continuing to inspire and mentor youth just as others have done for him.

Gabriel embodies the spirit of Service Above Self through his dedication to helping others and making a positive difference in his community. We congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing the impact he will continue to make in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Gabriel!

Meet Braedan, a standout senior from Illinois Valley High School who has truly made the most of his high school years!

A dedicated athlete, Braedan has balanced both baseball and soccer while also stepping up as a leader on campus. He’s actively involved in Leadership, Interact Club, and ASB student government - making a lasting impact on his school community. His commitment to service hasn’t gone unnoticed, Braedan is our most recent recipient of the Student Above Self Award, recognizing his dedication to putting others first.

Outside of school, you’ll often find him giving back as a local Little League umpire or volunteering through Interact.

This fall, Braedan is headed to Willamette University, where he plans to study secondary education and history, combining his passion for learning with his drive to make a difference for future generations.

When he’s not busy leading or competing, Braedan enjoys swimming, traveling, and diving into all things history.

We can’t wait to see all the incredible things ahead for you, Braedan - your future is bright! 🌟

Yesterday's program was all about Jodi MacDonald. Jodi recently retired after a long, successful career in banking. To help her celebrate, we asked her to bring some friends and family, do a Vocational presentation for newer club members who might not know her well, and let us fete her.

Jodi is a long-time club member, who has served as President twice, as well as leading us in a variety of different service projects over the years. Her contributions to our club, as well as our community, have been numerous.

Congratulations on your retirement! We're so glad you will be staying in Rotary, and continuing your wonderful community work. Your contributions and leadership are greatly needed and appreciated.

This week, we are proud to recognize Evelyn from Gladiola High School through our Service Above Self Award!

Evelyn is a senior who has made the most of her high school experience by participating in both a construction internship and a marketing internship - gaining valuable, hands-on skills in two very different fields.

She enjoys art, track and field, gardening, construction, and reading, showing a wonderful balance of creativity, activity, and curiosity.

After graduation, Evelyn plans to attend Rogue Community College and then transfer to Southern Oregon University to pursue a degree in urban planning or environmental science/ecology.

We’re excited to see all that Evelyn accomplishes in the future, congratulations! 🎉

This week our club was proud to present the Student Above Self Award to Lilly-Ann from North Valley High School 🌟

Lilly-Ann exemplifies what it means to put service above self. With a long history of leadership, she currently serves as ASB President, leading her peers with integrity, compassion, and dedication. Beyond her school campus, she represents Southern Oregon through her work with the Oregon Association of Student Councils, advocating for student leadership and engagement across the state.

Her commitment to service and her drive to make a difference continue to shine. Lilly-Ann plans to attend either the University of Hawaii or Willamette University, where she intends to pursue a career in law. We have no doubt she will carry the spirit of “Service Above Self” into her future endeavors.

Congratulations, Lilly-Ann! Our community is better because of leaders like you. 👏
