We are seventy years young and stronger than ever- with many exciting enhancements planned this year. If someone has not yet given us a chance, I encourage them to give us a closer look.”

It will also be performing 70 Random Acts of Kindness throughout the community, with the first being thank you bags for the Brownstown Twp.
