Milne and Lischka Family Leader Legacy FundBrad and Carla Milne and Family

Brad & Carla Milne feel that they have been fortunate to live and work with some individuals who exemplified exceptional community leadership: People who recognized the importance of volunteerism through leadership and a calling to help others.

Carla’s father David Lischka was a cattle producer whose passion was in the agriculture industry where he volunteered in the local 4-H Beef Club, the Southwest Feeder Association and the local Vet Clinic. A true ambassador in his field. Mr. Lischka was a most talented, humble, and caring man. He raised his children and grandchildren to believe they could do anything they put their minds to.  He taught his family that they all have a responsibility to contribute to their communities and help their neighbors.    read more
