Community service is one of Lisa Messersmith's core beliefs.

And as the director for the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League for the last 21 year, community service the heart of her job too.

"I think our goal in life is to somehow make the world better — in some way, whether it's small or large — than it was before we were given the gift of life," Messersmith said. "I can't remember a time in my life where that wasn't what I thought we should be doing."
