The First National Bank of Arenzville, Jacksonville, and South Jacksonville is pleased to announce that Donald Pigg is the recipient of the 2023 Blue Diamond Community Service Award.

According to his daughter, Cindy Boehlke, Mr. Pigg has led a life of purpose and giving. In the 15+ years that he has lived in the Jacksonville area, he has worked with a variety of local organizations to help our community continue to improve, and be the best that it can be.

Mr. Pigg is currently a member of the Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary and the Jacksonville Friends of the Library. He has volunteered with the Prairie Land Steam Show for the past several years. As a member of Morgan County Garden Club, he is a Master Gardener and has worked with the Garden Club at the Jacksonville Public Library.

Service to the community has been part of his life since he was young. Mr. Pigg has been involved with Rotary International for more than 50 years, helping with countless events with various clubs, including the local Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary Club. He has been an active volunteer with many service projects including building housing, repairing housing, gardening, and much more.

In his senior years, Mr. Pigg is still volunteering and is active in the community, and enjoys being in attendance at many community events. During his lifetime, he has taught his children the importance of giving to others, helping out in the community, and simply being a good person. His example has encouraged his three children to volunteer, and serve on organizations that are community focused.

Mr Pigg has chosen for New Directions to receive a $100 donation in his honor.

First National Bank is proud to award Donald Pigg with the 2023 Blue Diamond Community Service Award. The bank is honored to acknowledge community servants in our area, and Donald exemplifies those traits: putting others before ourselves.
