Our annual dinner was last week with more than 90 people in attendance. Beth Augustine, the owner of Flour Child was awarded the Athena Award, Grand Ledge High School Teacher Amanda Hengesbach was voted teacher of the year and A&W Restaurant owner Keith Mulder is the Business Person of the Year. Thank you to all our supporters, attendees and the community for a great year. Kudos to the Woodwind Quintet from GLHS for providing our music for the evening.

There is a lot of activity at Jaycee Park and there is about to be a lot more! Performance Pavilion will break ground soon, construction has begun down by the boat launch for two new projects and the city was just awarded a grant for a sound garden in the park! Stay Tuned for all the happenings at this amazing community park venue on the city's webpage. Kids will be able to start splashing around again in about a month!
