“Our commitment to the community and safety converged this year to create a 2012 community calendar that features ways people reach out in the community while also highlighting important safety information,” said David Rengering, Hemlock Site Manager. “We are extremely pleased at the school participation and truly look forward to mailing this fun yet functional calendar to our neighbors in Richland, Thomas and Tittabawassee Townships in December. Everyone should feel proud of the role they played in making this happen.”
