(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kathy Siler for the information and photo in this story.)
Between now and Aug. 6, volunteers from the Promotion & Education (P&E) Committee of Washtenaw County Farm Bureau will be visiting the offices of city and township clerks to thank them for their service in local government.
Quoting from a recent email sent to the clerks: “Your role is critical in the day-to-day operations of the cities and townships in Washtenaw County.”
Agriculture is an important part of our community, with over 1,200 farms and over $140 million in annual sales in Washtenaw County.
As a small token of our appreciation for your continued service and support, we would like to present you with a gift basket of Washtenaw County agriculture products to thank you for your service.
Included in the gift basket are these products:
Dairy Goodies
