A Special Note
We are grateful that we did not experience any damage from the storms and tornadoes that occurred in Southwest Michigan last night. We had an inch and a half a rain and some small hail, but everything is okay this morning.Our thoughts are with all of our neighboring communities of Centerville, Nottawa, Mendon, Colon, and Portage which have severe damage and are working to recover. |
