It intertwines with the very fabric of her personal life, radiating a profound positivity that touches the lives of many.
A Lifelong Commitment to Service
For Amy, the journey into community volunteerism began early, with middle school engagements at Community Connection Lincoln County. Fast forward to today, not only is she the Treasurer for the organization, but she is passionate for their mission of working to create positive change and enhance the quality of life for children and families in Lincoln County. The deep connection with this cause stems from her youth, not just as a service project, but as a lifelong passion.
Amy's volunteerism doesn’t end there. She's also a passionate member of the Hershey Public School Board of Education, a platform that empowers her to contribute directly to the educational growth and experience of the children in her community. Her role as a school board member enables her to play an active part in pivotal decisions, including the successful passing of a school bond that set the stage for crucial infrastructure improvements and expansion.

It is this combination of professional wisdom and a generous spirit that has allowed Amy to lead the kind of life where every action, every decision, resonates with the common desire to give back.
A Testimony to Community Impact
The ripple effect of Amy's volunteer work can be seen not only in the improved infrastructure of the Hershey Public School building but also in the numerous stories of the families touched by Community Connection Lincoln County. Small actions, like the monthly prescription drug take-back collections and local fundraising events, have led to tangible impacts, fostering a sense of security and community pride.
Amy Wolfskill’s story serves as a glowing testament to the power of service in transforming lives. Her tireless efforts continue to inspire others to answer the call to volunteer, to dedicate time and resources to uplift their communities, and to bring resilience and hope to those who need it most.
Chantel Burch: Lights, Camera, Action for Local Theater
Chantel, Marketing Coordinator at NebraskaLand Bank, is a pillar in community theatre in North Platte. Despite her demanding role as Marketing Coordinator, she's no stranger to the spotlight of the North Platte Community Playhouse, where she has not only performed on stage but also finds herself helping with other needs such as painting & building sets or helping find costumes and props. For Chantel, it's not about the applause but the deeper, lasting connections she's forged with her neighbors through the arts.
The Spark of Inspiration
Once just a wide-eyed spectator, Chantel is now one of the vibrant stars lighting up the North Platte Community Playhouse. Chantel's journey with the Playhouse began as a child when a field trip to see a performance sparked her love for the arts. Fast forward to today, and Chantel is one of the vibrant stars bringing that same sense of wonder she felt back then to the next generation of young audience members.
Connecting through the Art
While balancing her work at NebraskaLand Bank with her theatrical performances, Chantel's involvement at the North Platte Community Playhouse truly shines. She doesn't just bring characters to life – she also helps enrich the lives of young audience members, encouraging them to explore the magic of theater. After a role in Clue, where she played "Mrs. White," she found herself stopped in the local grocery store by a child eager to know if she had really dabbled in a bit of crime as they saw in the play. The joy she finds in inspiring the next generation of performers is what makes the long nights and hard work all worthwhile.
Spreading the Magic
Her advice for potential volunteers echoes her own journey: "Find something you're passionate about and willing to work for," she encourages. "When you're fueled by love for what you do, the rest falls into place."
Chantel embodies NebraskaLand Bank's core attitude of investing in the betterment of the community. Her ability to captivate audiences and her unwavering dedication to the arts remind us to measure success by the impact we make every day. We are honored to have such a radiant star within our ranks, illuminating our culture with her boundless talent and community spirit.
