THANK YOU Dr. Lisa!
Thanks to a generous donation by Lisa Musgrave, DDS, the Benzonia Public Library now has ice skates available to lend. Dr. Lisa said " I am constantly inspired by every amazing thing I see so many people do to help those around us in our community." She saw a need and took action to fill it. She stated "My ultimate goal is to inspire someone else to do something for our community." Next time you see Dr. Lisa we hope
you will tell her THANKS! |
