Lois White Miller, president of the Mercer County Historic Society, selling hot dogs and baked goods outside Kroger's to raise money.

Lois has been a force to be reckoned with, transforming the Historic Society from a social group to a vital organization with hundreds of new members that are raising money to preserve the history of the county. She has had to contend with a lot of opposition from the older members who are very resistant to change. She handles it with assertiveness and great aplomb.
