Reminder: Special Event this Thursday, June 11 at 7 pm -- "More Than a Marm: The Power of One Person to Leave a Lasting Legacy"

We don't always know the impact our lives will have, either during our lifetimes or after. This presentation, by Douglas Glick, Marilla Historical Society President, is about the gift of one woman who has impacted lives and one institution in numerous ways over a lifetime. Her legacy of "a selfish pursuit" became one of the most prized artifacts at the Marilla Historical Society, still in use today, nearly 100 years after it was created.

Thursday, June 11, 7 pm
At Mills Community House & via ZOOM
891 Michigan Ave, Benzonia, MI
