B
arry County Christian School students (from left) Val Georgiiadi, Melanie Webb and Kaleigh Kirkland and their classmates have launched a campaign to raise $100,000 for their school. But, rather than selling candles, cookie dough wrapping paper or spending an hour or two walking laps, hula-hooping or shooting baskets, the students will use a portion of their proceeds to pack and ship 10,000 nutritious meals for starving school children in Haiti. For more on this unusual fundraiser that feeds needs of students here and children in Haiti, look inside this Reminder.

I have some of the sweetest customers and they’ve become an extended family as I learned again so powerfully following a family tragedy a few weeks ago.

decided to have a family, we knew the road was going to take us back to Hastings. It’s the home in which we grew up, it’s the place that’s still home to our larger family, and we knew, from our own experience, it’s a great place for us to raise our children. I believe most of us feel that way about where we live in Barry County and our newspapers reflect that sentiment of home, family, and community. Our papers cover news, births, deaths, sporting event, awards, and many more notes of interest that people read and clip and save. That’s what is so special about
we’re without challenges, but they’re nothing we cannot handle because we remain dedicated to our customers, to our readers, and to our community. This truly is a wonderful community that we, oftentimes, take for granted because we don’t realize all that we have, including small town-owned businesses that we need to support. I hope that someday my children may decide to continue the legacy that our very hardworking grandparents built for us and for the community. Carrie Larabee Printing Plus, Manager
