Happy Monday GR!

In an effort to socially distance, while still celebrating GR this week we are happy to share the 6.16 Day Scavenger Hunt with you that can be completed at any point tomorrow. All you have to do is register! Learn more HERE!

Every week there seems to be something new and exciting in this 2020 adventure with you!

As we have walked through coronavirus, an economic stall, raising voices to promote justice, and now our State’s reopening I am continually encouraged by the way Grand Rapids comes together to support the greater good.

I see it in the way you shop- making room for those who could be higher risk.

I see it in your outdoor adventures- showcasing trails, rainbows, and wildlife you’ve found along the way.

I see it in the increased conversations and coming together around systems that have plagued this country for centuries.

You are making the changes we need to see, GR.

You are asking questions and taking action where it matters. You are an incredibly impressive community and I am so proud every time I see what we are accomplishing together.

These months have been agonizingly slow, but I also think they’ve been powerful to re-examine and ask deeper questions of what we want and how we will get there.
