This week, Kat sits down with Laurel Merten, Director of the Big Lake Ambassadors Scholarship Program.
This program has a goal of empowering young ladies of Big Lake to be women of tomorrow through community service. They also work to promote leadership, professional development and personal growth, with an opportunity to earn an educational scholarship. All the Ambassadors had over 100 hours each last year of volunteering!
The Core Values of the Big Lake Ambassador Program are Honesty, Respect, Loyalty and Commitment
For the tie blanket service project, they are accepting fleece donations for tie blankets. Donations of 2.5 yards of fleece are preferred, fleece must be new and clean. Boxes can be found at Big Lake Coborns, Lupulin, and the City of Big Lake office.

Laurel also comes to the High School and Middle School lunches and distributes fliers at both schools.
