This week’s edition of The Meridian Weekly is packed with stories of community spirit and forward momentum, from our golf greens to our village council chambers. We lead with the success of the annual joint Lions Golf Outing in Laingsburg, which raised over $7,000 for local charities. The event continues to be a major local highlight, honoring the legacies of longtime members while showcasing the generosity of our local businesses. Meanwhile, in Elsie, the Village Council accepted a substantial $15,000 donation from Jim Hyland to complete Heroes Park with the final statues, while also discussing new business opportunities and the future of the Elsie Area Fire Authority.
Beyond the headlines, there’s plenty of news to keep our community connected. We welcome Pastor Gerard Liett and his family to the Elsie United Methodist Church, celebrate the support of the Elsie Masonic Lodge, and prepare for the launch of our annual Gridiron Guru football contest. We also share important updates on public safety—from deer crash statistics and a waterfowl hunt in Clinton County to a reminder about an upcoming skin cancer screening event. As always, thank you for supporting local journalism and keeping our communities strong.
