Big Influence in A Small Town

By: Mason

Doug Davis is such a big influence on a small town. Doug does many things in this community to help and support it.

Doug has lived in Ogallala since 1976 for 25 years off and on. He has been helping our small town for 10 years off and on. He volunteers in many ways. First off he is the secretary of the volunteer fire department, he is the Lieutenant in the volunteer fire department. He is on the Hospital board; he is on the planning and zoning commission; he is a member of the optimist club. He attends the school board meetings, helps with grounds keeping, and he is the vice president of the dive and rescue team.


The reason Doug got into helping the community is “seeking out information; finding out what is actually happening there, is a big difference between what you hear and what is actually happening”. Doug puts in about five hours a week or 20 hours a month roughly from meetings, training, and appointments. Volunteering affects him because he is very busy doing various events, fundraisers, and with whatever comes up. Doug is up to date on things that are happening, so he can inform people about the community and what it’s doing.

Doug is a great man. If you ever have a question, just ask Doug, and you will get a nice and clear answer. I would recommend talking with him and getting active with our community because our community can always use help.
