I'm having trouble finding someone to write a reccomendation letter for me?

It's for a scholarship due on August 8th. It says I need "three (3) letters of recommendation of which one (1) is from a teacher and two (2) are from at-large community members".

I could do the teacher part but I don't know any "at large community members". Do I ask some big owner of a company? My former boss who rarely saw me? The mayor? Governor?

    A community member could be your pastor at church, an organization you volunteered for, or some other activity outside of school that you participated in. Or, you could email the person who is giving out the scholarship and ask for examples of what would be appropriate.
