Community Involvement

Richard and Carol have found that it is exciting to become active participants in the enhancement and preservation in the place they now call home. The Carlson’s attend a small Lutheran Church in the historical district of downtown Sanford, where he serves as its treasurer. Richard is on the board of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, and is a member of the Jonesboro Rotary Club. Carol is this year’s president of the Sanford Local Organization of Business and Professional Women. Carol also serves on the board of Downtown Sanford, Inc., and HAVEN in Lee County. With the help of Richard and several committed community leaders, Carol has formed a non-profit agency, Willing Hands, Inc., whose purpose is to bring ideas, people and organizations together through fun, festive special events and projects. Willing Hands is a voluntary citizens' organization which raises funds for community projects by organizing and promoting special events to benefit the community.
