RAPID CITY, S.D. To celebrate Arbor Day, Black Hills Federal Credit Union made a donation of $1,100 to the Jasper Fire Reforestation Project.
BHFCU teamed up with the Black Hills National Forest Service to enroll members in paperless statements; each member that switched to eStatements counted as a one dollar donation.
“Arbor Day is observed by planting trees, and this year BHFCU wanted to be a part of that in a local way,” said Leslie Millard, Marketing Communications Specialist. “With help from our members, we have funded the planting of 1,300 trees in the Black Hills. I would call that a success!”

RAPID VALLEY, S.D. Herculano “Herky” Solano, a 30 year member of the Rapid Valley Volunteer Fire Department, member of the Rapid Valley Fire Protection District, and retired City of Rapid City employee, lost his home earlier this month after a fire.
On January 17, fire crews responded to a structure fire on the 1300 block of Ennen Drive and were able to extinguish it. The next morning, the fire reignited – presumably due to high wind conditions and unburned insulation that smoldered overnight – causing severe additional fire and smoke damage before once again being extinguished.
A relief fund has been set up in the Solano name at Black Hills Federal Credit Union to help assist Mr. Solano and his family after the loss of their home.
