community service

Even though they had the day off, quite a few local students used yesterday as a day of public service.

On Wednesday, Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson talked about the changes to driver responsibility fees and how drivers are now able to complete community service in place of paying some of the charges.

A local group is on a mission to organize community service activity to help make Flint a better place to live and work. They are looking for volunteers who would like to help with things like light raking or picking up trash on our streets. They plan to meet this Saturday, August 20th at Dort Elementary school at 601 E. Witherbee St, near Saginaw St. and Hamilton Avenue. Bring your own work glove
