Life is made up of little things - little things that count a great deal. Most us tend to think it’s the big things that make a big difference and that’s true...but when you trace the sequence of events that eventually led to that big opportunity, you’ll realize it’s the result of a lot of little things being done before that contributed to it.

The Downtown Waterloo Rotary Club wants to recognize individuals who are putting Service Above Self and doing the little things to make a big difference. The Service Above Self Award recognizes those who demonstrate a commitment to serving others and the ambition to ignite positive and enduring change in the lives of others. The volunteer service being nominated can take place within our community or outside the area, as long as the nominee is a resident of the CedarValley. Consider nominating someone that lives by the Service Above Self mantra. Three awards will be given annually. The deadline to nominate someone is December 1 (for the January award date), April 1 (for the May award), and August 1 (for the September award.)

Please complete the following Nomination Form and return it to the Downtown Waterloo Rotary Club office at 531 Commercial Street #604, Waterloo, Iowa50704 or email it to .
