Help Local West MI Restaurants BEFORE they Reopen on Monday
Monday is a new day! After months of being closed and after months of waiting, restaurants and bars in Michigan are allowed to reopen; and before they do, you can play an instrumental role in helping them do so.
A FREE Friday evening event is being held at the English Hills Events Centers in Comstock Park. Many West Michigan restaurants will be at the Reheat Local Eats selling gift cards and residents are encouraged to stop by and purchase as many as they can or want to. The event will be held from 5:30p-8:00p and you can show up at any time. Some businesses will also have merchandise available for you to buy at their booth, and possibly food-to-go.

University of Michigan Athletics Paused Due To Covid Variant Outbreak
The entire University of Michigan Athletic Department has been forced to shut down for at least two weeks due to an outbreak of the new Covid-19 variant.
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services ordered the shut down after several members of the U of M Athletic Department tested positive for the new variant. The MDHHS is being more aggressive with their orders due to the evidence that the variant is more easily spread. That means that U of M will have no athletic activities, including practice, for at least 14 days.

Ron Clous, vice chair of the Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners, showed off a rifle as a constituent voiced concerns about guns during a virtual meeting Wednesday.
During the public comment period, a resident expressed concerns that members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violence in the state, had attended a previous meeting.
The group came to show support for a resolution the board eventually passed on the Second Amendment.
“I can certainly appreciate people wanting to have their gun rights protected,” she said. “But . permission has been given to these activist groups to do more with their guns than go out hunting.”
