Jaycees seeking nominations for community leaders

The Falls City Area Jaycees are seeking nominations to honor those who have shown outstanding leadership in and around the community in 2015.
Page five of today’s Falls City Journal includes a large nomination ballot to be used for nominations of persons to be recognized at the Monday, Jan. 18, Jaycees’ Distinguished Service Awards Ceremony to be held at the Elks Club.
Nomination forms may also be emailed to Stefanie Wenz at

The Jaycees urge everyone to take some time to submit the names of those you feel are deserving of the appropriate awards. The Jaycees take great pride in recognizing those who excel in making the community a better place to live.
The public’s input is essential in making the awards ceremony a success.
Following is a clarification of the specifics regarding the Distinguished Service Awards program:
Anyone is eligible for nomination, as noted in each category (see nomination ballot).
Nominees in each category are judged using a scoring and voting system with the winners receiving the best overall scores and/or votes.
Families and friends of the winners will be notified the week before the banquet to make plans for the winners to be there.
When making your nominations, it is strongly recommended that you include a resume or letter of recommendation that fully describes your nominee’s accomplishments specifically in 2015, as well as past activities.
Also, add reasons why you feel he/she is deserving of winning that particular award.
Every year the Jaycees host the annual DSA Ceremony with the primary purpose to recognize that the community of Falls City is blessed to have many wonderful individuals who make a real difference in people’s lives.
This ceremony is our chance, as a community, to reflect on these gifts and celebrate volunteerism.
