As of April 1, we have $4,690 in the bank for the “Light Up The Depot” campaign.

We still need $522 to be able to pay Professional Holiday Decorators to install the 1,700 lights on the station in August.

I also want to thank Robin Coffey for keeping track of all the money. She will retire at the end of April. She worked on this project in 2010, and again for this campaign.

We will miss her.

Ron Pierson, from Professional Holiday Decorators, has the 2,200 feet of cable finished, so the only thing we are waiting on is the money to pay the bill.

The following people have recently donated $100 or more to the campaign:

• Imperial Furniture

• Jewell Kelso and Mary Ann Kidman

• Don and Vickie Blackmond

• Dowagiac Federal Credit Union

The following people that have recently donated less than $100:

• Roberta Woodruff

• Gerald and Sandy Bakeman

• Amersdorfer-Wiltse Insurance Inc.

• Joel and Linnea Okonski

Again, thank you every one that was helped this project to “Light Up The Depot”
