Community Affairs

We believe in making a difference in our community by volunteering, donating, and contributing to various organizations that will help benefit the lives of our fellow citizens. We are always looking for new committee members.  If you have an interest in joining our committee or a suggestion to help our scholarship program, please contact any of the individuals listed below.
