Ambassador Program suggestion from Buck Allen. In my local community Hurley Mississippi I’m hosting lighting of the Christmas tree in Dec. Most communities have such an event. communities are typically looking for entertainment, these type of events are a good way to get involved in your commune, get your foot in the door and assist MSA with community outreach. If you have questions on how to go about this reach out to Buck Allen at. (227)-990-6946.
