Each year, the Michigan Dunes Chapter, NSDAR, hosts a Good Citizens Contest. This local chapter was assigned 16 schools to contact. Each school was asked to choose one senior student as the Good Citizen of the class, and that student could send an application along with a timed essay on a specific subject. This year, seven schools of the 16 contacted had a student who applied.
A reception will be held for these students following the regular DAR meeting Sunday, Nov. 3. The winner will be announced at the reception.
The meeting will take place at the Mears Methodist Church, 1990 56th Ave. in Mears at noon. The Good Citizens Reception is by invitation only and will follow the meeting at 2 p.m. the same day. The guest speaker for the meeting is Miss Ludington Area 2024 Athena Dila.
