No amount of hoping or stimulus dollars from Washington, DC will keep our community a viable place to live, and do business. If you want to save your community we need action!
Local businesses support many school projects, service groups, charity and give residents opportunities for goods, services and employment.

Here are last week’s, ‘one-liners:?
‘Local businesses, give back to the community, at least here at Wireless Zone we do.?
Joe Bommarito, Ortonville
‘Support your neighbors. It nourishes our community. Most of the local business owners and employees are our neighbors. Supporting local businesses provides owners and employees a psycholocigal boost, puts food on their tables and helps pay their bills. It also allows all of us to support those in need through oganizations like OCEF.?
Catherine Genovese, Brandon Township
‘I always shop local, I run into friends and if we don’t support our local businesses they won’t be there for us.?
Debra Stockwell, Brandon Township
