Please click on the link above "Having trouble viewing this email?" to see the ENTIRE Bulletin.
 
Mike Murphy, our county sheriff, has graciously opened the doors to the Livingston County Jail so we can have a meeting in person. Well, not the jail exactly, but the big garage near the front entrance to the left at 150 S. Highlander Way, Howell.
 
Fear not, there will be a cross breeze as both garage doors will be open!
 
HERE ARE THE JAILHOUSE RULES for our in-person meeting:
      1.  Bring your own chair. (Electricity optional)
      2.  Bring your own beverage. (Someone will bring coffee to share.)
      3.  Bring your own breakfast. (There may be donuts. You know, cops & donuts?)
      4.  Bring your own MASK.  (But no weapons allowed.)
Please arrive between 7 am & 7:15 pm! We will maintain the proper social distancing between chairs, so this will be an extremely SAFE meeting.
