2. Just for fun

• Relay for Life fundraiser

The Hartland Moms Relay for life team is trying to raise money to "flush out cancer" by using an unusual tool--a traveling toilet! Team Members Jennifer Ancheta and Maggie DeLauder painted and decorated the toilet and will be moving it to and from people's front yards, for a fee. Standard removal is $5, removal to a friend's home is $10. 100 percent of the removal fees will be donated to Relay for life through the Hartland Moms team.  

3. Local voice of the week

• The Merry Month of May
  

We just finished a 3-month workshop called the Personal Spiritual Program where the participants looked at who they are and their life’s patterns … those patterns we carry with us from lifetime to lifetime. This month’s theme plays very well into the ideas and concepts discussed in that workshop … the theme of CREATING. (Read more here.)
