The vision you strive to embody, as stated on the village’s website, includes a commitment to cherish the local culture. You say you strive to “encourage innovation and continuous improvement promoted by the diversity of [your] citizens.” If you pay only lip service to the concept of diversity, then you need not do more than […]

Love INC of North Oakland County would like to thank all of the people who took part in our recent rummage sale at Community of Christ Church. The church was so gracious to offer their space to us for a whole week. Volunteers donated items for the sale, and more importantly showed up to help […]
