LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A very special thank you!

Dear People of Elk Rapids,

Thank you for the hearts and candles, cards, flowers, and most of all, your presence at the services for our Joe.

It was heartwarming to see the love and respect that Joe had for the village and its people were returned.

We appreciate the kindness and comfort that you gave us.
​
A special thanks to Ryan Fryer and Edison Pike who kept the theatre running to the end of the last film.

Thank you, President Joe

Dear Editor,

Joe taught me how to be Village President. I learned by watching and listening. He followed the laws and rules, let people speak their minds, treated them with respect and was always available for drop-in conversations. 
​
I tried to do the same, but he was the best.

Thanks, Joe.

Positive changes moving village in right direction

Dear Editor,

Positive changes are happening in Elk Rapids. At the Elk Rapids special council meeting on Jan 25, 2023 a decision was made to hire an HR consultant and accounting firm to assist the village moving forward. This decision along with continued transparency keeps the residents informed. Thank you, council for moving our beautiful village in the right direction!

Kind regards,
Teri Kuffner
