 Sarah Weigher is the 2017 Youth Volunteer of the Year for the Brainerd Lakes Area. Weigher was surprised with the award given off by the Brainerd JC's and Brainerd Community Action while on campus at Concordia College this week. The selection committee determined that Weigher was deserving of the award because she's made a difference in the community through volunteerism and service work. In her years of dedication and passion she has served a church in the Bell Choir. She's gone on three mission trips, has volunteered in the emergency room at Ascension Health and has helped at a local soup kitchen.
