Community Involvement

Through-out my life, specifically the past 12 years of my career, I have volunteered thousands of hours to our local communities. I am probably being generous when I say thousands of hours. From being in the Caroline Aces 4-H club at a young age to joining the Shawano County Sheriff’s Office Explorers Post in my teenage years - to joining and being an active member of the Caroline Lions Club - to putting on a HUGE synchronized Christmas light show every year for our local families to enjoy.. I must say that my heart and soul belongs to serving my community!
