In the December 28, 2025 edition of The Meridian Weekly, the community spirit shines brightly as local organizations step up to support residents during the winter season. Consumers Energy highlights assistance programs to help seniors stay safe and warm, while Memorial Healthcare expands access with its new Flushing Health Center.
We remember those we lost in 2025 and celebrates local initiatives like Laingsburg’s ‘Thoughtful Trees’ and the Farm Bureau’s donation to the Beacon of Hope food pantry. In sports, Ovid-Elsie secures its first boys basketball win and several Lady Marauders earn academic honors.
As the year closes, our editor and publisher, Deb Price, reflects on 2025:
Dear Readers,
As my staff and myself prepare to begin a new year, our 34th, here at the paper, let me take this opportunity to Thank the businesses, organizations and community members for all the support. We look forward to keeping the local news coming to the Ovid, Elsie, Ashley, Laingsburg, St Johns and Owosso communities in 2026.
Without the advertising support of our loyal advertisers, bringing this publication to your home and computer every week would not be possible. Together, let’s make the year ahead a safe, happy and prosperous one.
Deb
