President’s Message



                                                  Friends and neighbors,


                                                            ith our 2022 primary elections coming up August 23 and our general
                                                            elections following on November 8, we thought it would be helpful
                                                  W and important to review some basic elections information, especially
                                                  since there have been some changes to where and how we vote due to the recent
                                                  redistricting process.
                                                  With that, we reached out to Monica Elliot, President of the League of Women
                                                  Voters and asked her to share updated elections information relevant to our
                                                  Harbor Beach area residents. We urge you ALL to read and review the information
