Thank you to Calvert & Martin Funeral Home for once again hosting a Business After Hours honoring our City of Pontiac employees. Baby Bulls catered some delicious appetizers to a wonderful crowd. Thanks to everyone that brought their food donation to the local food pantries.
We were entertained by the Madrigal Singers from PTHS and Mayor Bill Alvey introduced the City employees.
Thanks to all who came out and we hope to see you next year!

Tim Johnson, OSF, Tom Hinz, CAT and Cat were invited by District 429 Superintendent, Brian Dukes, to take a tour of the STEAM classrooms this week. It was an amazing time and we were quite impressed with the evolution of education and how up-to-date the district is with the technology they are using, but also in the way things are being taught. It was a great tour and we encourage anyone who would like to see for yourself, to contact the school and take this great tour. Special thanks to Brian and his staff for taking this time with us. Us “grown-ups” learned more than a thing or two.
Thank you to the women of MOSAIC for being our featured presenters at Issues & Eggs. We learned a lot about the organization and the people of Livingston County they serve. We started the morning off with a delicious breakfast at Pontiac Family Kitchen. Thanks to all of you who took your time to join us.
Join me in welcoming Fastenal Company to our membership. Fastenal is located at 1304 N. Division St. here in Pontiac. They are open Monday-Friday 7:30a-5P.
