Hard to believe we’ve come to the close of another year!  I feel so blessed to be able to say “2009 was truly fine”!   Reflecting on the past year there are so many cool memories and I’m thankful for each of them!  I’ve met so many great people this year through school assemblies, talking at parent groups, church groups, doing stories for our show, hosting events- it’s been incredible and I’ve loved every minute of it!  This year’s Park Parties reached a record number of kids and families-40,000+!  Our Christmas in May campaign provided basic hygine items for thousands of families.  The Summer Reading Club drew over 65,000 kids to local libraries around West Michigan and partnering with the Fifth Third Feelin’ Good Mileage Club got 30,000 kids moving for a six week period.  The list goes on and on.   Our weekly show, “Where You Live” has touched on dozens of topics and issues and that directly impact West Michigan families.  Each week our great partners have provided useful information and simple solutions that really have helped families live a little better.  Catch a glimpse of this past year’s highlights when you check out the year in review video put together by our amazing director John VanDoorne.  Here’s to a great 2010!
