Leffingwell Estates Community Center Building  

THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER building at Leffingwell Estates has been completed. The building will give the residents of the mobile home park a place to gather for community events. The building was built with a reinforced basement so it can serve as a tornado shelter for the residents of the park.

Leaf Pickup Complications 

THE HUDSON CITY DPW crews have had a more complicated time than normal picking up leaves this year, as the warmer than normal month of October caused some trees to stay green while others lost their leaves. There were a couple light frosts in October, but none hard enough to really kick in the color season, which was rather drab this year.

MSU vs. U of M Pep Rally at Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart School Students wore their favorite team colors to school this past Thursday to show their teams pride for the MSU vs. Michigan pep rally.  Fun was had by all, including Mrs. Johnston who was rocked like a baby to the MSU Fight Song by Adrian Colleges, Taz Wallace, who was masquerading as a Michigan State football player.  MSU beat Michigan at the pep rally, but didn’t fair so well this past weekend.  Thanks to everyone who made the pep rally fun for everyone!!

December 2nd Slated for Lights of Love

Once again, Hospice of Lenawee is sponsoring the “Lights of Love” remembrance trees in the communities of Adrian, Blissfield, Clinton, Hudson, Morenci, Onsted and Tecumseh. These holiday trees will be lit on Sunday, December 2, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. at a special lighting ceremony with a reception following. The public is welcome to attend the lighting ceremony of their choice.

It is currently planned for a group from the Hudson Community Cantata to give a short program at the festivities, which will be held at the Hudson Community Center as in previous years. There will also be refreshments available for the public following the program.

The Hudson Community Cantata will be December 7 and 8 at 7:30 PM and December 9 at 3:00 PM.

The purpose of the trees is two-fold. Hospice of Lenawee erects these trees in memory of the families which Hospice has served since its inception in 1982. The community is also invited to place lights on the trees in memory or in honor of those they wish to remember in this most special way. Amidst the gaiety of the holidays, the remembrance trees offer a point of stillness where people are remembered in an elegant way. When a light is dedicated, the Hospice will send a letter to the family acknowledging the dedication.

Free will donations may be made to the Hospice and will be used to further the work of Hospice throughout the community.

Call Hospice of Lenawee at (517) 263-2323 if you have any questions.
