on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I live in

Reed City on 10 acres with my

husband Steve. I have 4 sons that

Dear Green Acres Family,

As summer is in full swing I want to encourage you to please come in

and join us for our music programs and the day to day activities. The

residents love when you stop by and join in on the fun. Our yearly

Family Summer BBQ will be on Thursday, July 12th with the meal

being served at 5:30. Your invitation is enclosed in the newsletter.

We are gearing up for our annual car show that will be held on August

24th from 6pm-8pm. If you have not been to one of our car shows, I

highly recommend coming this year. The car show is open to the

public, so feel free to invite your friends. We are looking forward to

our trip to Manistee this summer and Mackinaw Bridge this fall.

May God bless and keep you all,

Olivia
