A community in which you live and work becomes your place to get involved in community events and provides a sense of belonging. Dr. Mikula likes to take advantage of this opportunity and make great friends and partake in events locally help shape the direction of his community and where it is headed.  When a community is doing well as a whole, the community members are better off, too.

There are many reasons to become active in your community; helping schools, libraries, churches and sponsoring recreational sports clubs or teams are just a few ways to do it and most of these organizations are always looking for some type of funding and are very grateful. Dr. Mikula is very active in the sports and recreation area and enjoys taking in games as they come up on his calendar.

"I believe in empowering and supporting local sports and recreation teams. I am a long time softball player myself and I understand the cost to put these teams together can be expensive at times with entry fees, umpires fees and uniforms as well. As long as I am able to sponsor local teams I will continue to do so," Dr, Mikula explained.

"Sometimes the best recognition is just seeing how appreciative and thankful these teams are because you helped them along the way," he went on to say.

Thank you Dr. Mikula for being involved in the community.
