Groundbreaking at Rotary Park

Everyone: Come Celebrate

This Week on Stage For more than 40 years, Legal Services Corporation funded agencies in Western Michigan have provided free legal assistance to low income persons and seniors in non-criminal, non-fee generating matters. Legal Aid of Western Michigan currently serves people in 17 counties. Come to Club and hear more of the story. – THEN – We’re all invited to Heritage Landing to enjoy “The Ground-breaking at Rotary Park.” Festivities are set to begin at 1:45pm and, due to the expected crowd, please park in YMCA’s parking lot.

In all of its trademark elegance, the Lake House Waterfront Grille provides treats galore here for guests of this year’s Grape Escape on Wednesday. But there were plenty of other sumptuous offerings, not to mention a wide variety of delectable wines and micro-brews. A big thanks to all who took part. For one

last peek at this outstanding event, we’ve photos on PP 2-3, followed by our report on Thursday’s regular meeting.
