An active member of the community in more ways than one, Empire resident Kathy Cole uses much of her time to volunteer in Leelanau County — whether it be as the current Glen Lake Women’s Club president, or as a volunteer with the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Just like the motto of the women’s club states, “if you wish to live in a better place, better the place in which you live.” It’s something Cole and other members of the local nonprofit believe is important and is why they continue to do what they do.
“And that’s (the motto) what makes all of our decisions of what we do,” Cole said. “So we do things in our community that support our community and especially our children… I feel lucky to live here and I feel it’s important to make our community a better place and to share our talents and ourselves with our community.”
