BE AWARE! The Lake Orion Lumber Yard sale to the DDA is about to complete its due diligence. The DDA has asked the Village of Lake Orion to “co-sign” a bond for $5 million. That means that if DDA, for any reason, can’t meet the bond payment schedule that the village is liable for the […]
It would be an admirable goal for 2023 for the Lake Orion Art Center Board of Directors to approach the Lake Orion School Board counsel with the idea that every 6th grader should go to the DIA (Detroit Institute of Art) and Crandbrook Art Museum at least once as part of their curriculum.

Time flies. I don’t know who the first person was to say that, but, OMG, they were so right! Thanksgiving is just around the corner. If you’re like me, there are still many things you want to complete before Thanksgiving turns into the end of the year. Being a time of Thanksgiving, I thank all […]
