The American Legion is hosting their annual chicken broil at the Herbert J. McKune Post 31 at 11 a.m. on July 4.
Tickets are being sold until the place is full at $9 per dinner. The meal includes half of a chicken, coleslaw, roll and chips.
To get to Post 31 take Cavanaugh Lake Road west to Ridge Road, turn right and go a quarter of a mile north. The post is on the right side of the road.
Village police reductions
The Dexter Village council voted earlier this month to reduce the number of Washtenaw County Sheriff's deputies from six to five, in a cost cutting measure.
A tour to remember
This year on June 25, 120 men and women from in and around the county took the Washtenaw County Family& Community Education tour of historic sites in the area, including St. Joseph Catholic Church in downtown Dexter.
Such tours are a good way to gain exposure to local history over a cup of hot tea and fresh breads. The tour takes visitors to Gordon Hall, the Dexter Historic Railroad Station and the Memorial Gardens. This year the tour even stopped at the home of Jane Lyons.
The Lighthouse Restaurant in Dexter served lunch.
Members of the community wanted to express gratitude towards the county FCE and encourage others to take Dexter's and other tours to learn about local history and culture.
Parks Commission vacancy
The Village of Dexter Parks Commission has a vacancy for a term to expire in June of 2010.
The Commission is responsible for advising the Village Council on parks and recreation activities within the village and for preparing and implementing the Village Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Interested individuals should submit an application to the village office, 8123 Main St., Dexter, or abishop@villageofdexter.org.
