On August 2, 2022, White Lake Township Library will ask residents to approve a renewal and restoration of 0.5 mills to fund the library for eight years. (more) Vote 411 - Find out what's on your ballot.

We want to thank our Girl Scout Troop 71057 for freshening up our butterfly, pollinator, sensory, and fairy gardens and the White Lake Home Depot for donating plants and seeds.  Initially, the Girl Scouts created the gardens as part of the Girl Scout Silver Award project. If you haven’t had a chance to visit them, we have two out front near our open patio and three in our children’s patio area.    Left are Girl Scouts: Payton Fleishans, Kayli Nieset, Jessica Liker, and Lila Mahler in front of the fairy garden.   Thank you for making our gardens beautiful!!!

Our Children's Patio now has a giant chess set! Come enjoy an outdoor game!

Fun was had by all at the Smokin' 45s concert on the patio!
