Reminder #1
· Our illustrious “Captain Highway” a.k.a. Derek Desgranges, fearless leader of the SPY’s Adopt-A-Highway project, wants to remind everyone about Saturday July 12th. will be the second highway trash pick-up of the season. Anyone wishing to help out is asked to meet at the Best Tax Service building at 9 AM.
The SPY's pick-up trash along M-43 from Round Lake Road on the west side of town to Shaytown Road on the east side of town, three times a year in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Transportation program.
If for any reason you can’t make it for the July 12th. pick-up day, but would still like to help out by doing some picking up on a different day of that week, just give Derek a call at 269-838-7686 and get some bags and he will give you a small section to take care of. What do you say, let’s have a great turnout and spiff up the roadsides leading into our community.
Glassware Donations Sought

If you have anything to donate please contact our project chairpeople, Zeke & Samantha Cappon at 517-331-3360, or drop off any donations at the Best Tax Service office.
Parting Comments
· Deep Thought of the Week: With money you can buy all the friends you want, but they never are worth the price.
· Notable Quote: “Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life.”
· That’s Puny Department: My boss is going to fire the employee with the worst posture. I have a hunch it might be me.
· Did You Know Section: This week we will tackle the burning question of who coined the Maxwell House coffee slogan “Good to the last drop”?
In 1873, a grocery salesman named Joel Cheek became interested in coffee and came up with his own unique blend. Realizing that he had created a fine brew, he decided to sell it. One of the South’s best hotels, the Maxwell House, liked his coffee and began to serve it to guests---hence the name Maxwell House Coffee.
In 1907, on returning from a bear hunt in Mississippi, President Theodore Roosevelt was a guest of the Ladies Hermitage Association at Andrew Jackson’s homestead in Nashville, Tennessee. He was served a cup of Maxwell House Coffee. Upon being offered a refill, he remarked on the excellent quality of the coffee and uttered the now familiar line, “Delightful. This coffee is good to the last drop.” Apparently when Roosevelt talked, people listened.
