LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Treasure Sale raises nearly $5000 for HERTHDear Editor,
Just like that we raised nearly $5000 for the HERTH! Thanks to the generous donations of many treasures from our community, and manpower provided by Margaret VanDenBerge, Katie Somer-Ford, Karen Shaw, Terri Reisig, Ann and Glenn Patton, Barbara George, Tom Chesebro, Mary Coates and Steve Bagdon. Our shoppers were incredibly charitable when making their purchases. We just took a little bite out of the remaining mortgage on the beautiful community building at 401 River St for all to enjoy. Thank you all! Marcy and Rob Ford Williamsburg Help keep Torch Bay Nature Preserve cleanDear Editor,
Torch Bay Nature Preserve is an amazing place. The Preserve is protected by Grand Traverse Land Conservancy and owned and managed Torch Lake Township. Located in Kewadin, Michigan, you will find a 40-acre preserve on Grand Traverse Bay featuring forested dunes, beach ponds, and over 700 feet of shoreline, offering hiking trails, kayaking access, and swimming. My dog and I walk here daily. I saw a need for trash containers and cigarette receptacles. The amount of trash left by people needs to be addressed. I spoke last spring at a Torch Lake Township meeting during public comment and addressed the need for trash and cigarette containers. As of Thursday, May 21, I’m proud to report that these are now installed at the Preserve. There is a trash container at the beach and also at the parking lot along with a cigarette receptacle. Thank you to Torch Lake Township Supervisor, Bob Cook, for supporting this much needed project. To all who visit Torch Bay Nature Preserve, just leave your footprints, and please throw away your trash and cigarette butts in the new containers or take back your bottles and cans to collection places and recycle.

Community CashDear Community,
Community Cash is coming to an end on May 25. I have posted a list of the participants and their addresses on the bulletin board at each store. This way, you can mail them or hand them directly to the group of your choice. Slips must go to the organization to be added; they cannot be dropped at the store. Each group has to get the receipts turned into me by June 12, so please contact each organization to find out when is their cut off for turning slips in. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, 231-264-5629, ext. 0. Thanks, Sharon & Jenny Village Market Letter to the Editor Guide
