I love the taste of lemon
and am looking for some
really good lemon cookie

no one leaves the table
hungry when she serves her

Pinconning sent in her
family’s recipe for Swedish
Meatballs with Dilled
Noodles. Linda from
Battle Creek makes her
Sour Cream Meatballs
when she wants to make
something extra special.

Rotary Club of Albion
The Rotary Club of Albion
was honored to have Gary
Tompkins, county commis-
sioner for the 7th District of
Calhoun County, as the
speaker on July 15.
Gary has spent 30 years in
public life and is a sixth gen-
eration resident of Calhoun
County. Gary has served on
committees and commissions
and represents the Albion
area in great fashion. He
brought us up to date on how
the American Rescue Funds
are appropriated in the area
and is reviewing any sugges-
tions residents may offer.
Calhoun County will receive
$26 million, $13 million in
2021 and $13 million in- He also talked about
the Broadband Task Force,
working to see where there
are gaps, studying COVID
results, and the upcoming
survey being sent to resi-
dents. The survey will
include a paper survey, an
online survey and a text mes-
sage survey. The survey will
take about three minutes and
Gary needs a strong response
from the residents. His com-
ments on the roads and streets
included his efforts on our
behalf to get funding for
those improvements. Other
topics he touched on were:
COVID clinics (he has sug-
gested a clinic at the county
fair to reach rural residents;
the centenarian stories
(including the announcement
that the Bohm Theatre has
received a grant for senior
matinees); and the Walk for
Warmth on September 16.
