ACTION ALERT

Tuesday, August 11, 2026

It will be great to see everybody at our August 18 meeting at the Grandville Library, 4:30-6:00 pm to kick off an exciting and busy fall.

Bring some cash to have a chance at winning one of our raffle baskets!!

We are raising money for our Indivisible group expenses and to support our families.

Remember that we have the month of August to raise $500 for matching funds, dollar for dollar! We have 20 days left to reach our goal. The money will go directly to West MI Indivisible to help with the next NO KINGS (date to be determined), stamps for our 2,000 postcards for “Get Out The Vote,” and much more for the coming year. Cash donations accepted and ACT Blue.
