Cass District Library Director Jennifer Ray with the "Family Friendly Business Award.”

The Cass County Great Start Coalition has announced that Dussel’s Farm Market in Cassopolis and the Cass District Library branches have all been named family-friendly businesses.
The manager of Dussel’s, Mark Dussel, and the library director, Jennifer Ray, were both “honored to receive this award.”
These Cass County Businesses have received a window decal award because they meet the family-friendly criteria.
Some examples of this criteria are:  giving back to the community; restrooms with changing stations; allowing strollers in the business; automatic opening doors; helping mothers to their car; and many more. Businesses need to meet four of the criteria to qualify.
Parents are encouraged to nominate a business that meets minimum standards to be recognized.
The nomination forms can be found on the Cass County Great Start website www.greatstart-cass.org.
