Gaylord's Veteran Coffee Hour 

Gaylord Branch Manager Wendy volunteered at the monthly Veterans Coffee Hour held at the Gaylord Regional Airport. There were around 50 veterans that attended. This event allows veterans to meet others in the area and network. In attendance was Marlene Hopp from the Otsego County Veterans Affairs office and a representative from the Gaylord Veterans Affairs.

 

 

Presidents' Day in Petoskey

On President's Day, Northland's Petoskey team helped our local food bank pack over 400 children's snack backpacks for our surrounding schools. Snacks included apple sauce, breakfast cereal, cheese sticks, crackers, and granola bars for the students in need. In addition, the team also helped repackage pantry items for individual order distribution. Supporting the food pantry to fulfill the community's needs felt great, and The Petoskey Team enjoyed doing it!
