Highlights from Santa and Fireworks
Special Visit from Santa!
We had our annual visit from Santa this year, and it was a big hit! Over 150 children came, gave Santa their request, and received a special stocking (thank you CBC). COVID Safe, by having Santa in the lobby of the Library (Thank you by the way), talking to the children with a wireless microphone and speakers (Thank You Unlimited DJ - Steve Jones) ... It was a great night, everyone watching the fireworks respected social distancing, and the Michigan Fireworks Club put on a great expanded show!
We couldn't do any of this without our Sponsors! Keep them in your prayers, and remember them first when you make choices on how you spend your money.
Support those, that support you!

Advocacy
New Grant for Small Business
There is another new grant that will be open December 15th. This is for small businesses, with less than 51 employees!

Read about who is qualified HERE ... Although $10 Million sounds like a lot of money, it will go fast. I suggest you be prepared before you sign on, they will most likely close within a day or two.
Click to help small business
It is imperative that Congress do SOMETHING ASAP to assist small businesses. There is a $908 Billion bill that is a bipartisan effort ready to be put into place before Christmas. This is a short term bill that can help our small businesses and unemployed between now and March. We've made it easy, simply click here put your mailing address in, and your Congressperson will be emailed on your behalf!
