Thank you Great Lakes Highlanders!
The Great Lakes Highlanders are a statewide Highland Games team. Each member competes at a high and world class competition during the Highland Festival Games in Alma, MI. The Great Lakes Highlanders adopted VFW Post 1454 and donates 100% of the donations collected during a friendly Individual Caber Toss Competition held during noon lunch break on May 26th & 27th. The Great Lakes Highlanders have donated over $2,000 in the last 2 years raised through this caber toss event. Two Great Lakes Highlander members, also Veterans, marched with us in last year's Highland Parade. We ask our Members & Auxiliary to stop by this fun event to cheer on the Great Lakes Highlanders and show them your support. Go Great Lakes Highlanders!

Alma College Theatre Presents
Soldier's Heart

Before heading off to war in Iraq, Casey Johnson neatly organizes her life into a box of lists, envelopes and registration forms for her son’s activities. Months later, she returns home forever changed, with deep psychological scars that no amount of arranging seems to be able to fix. Tammy Ryan’s Soldier’s Heart shines a light on the struggles facing woman warriors. This production will take place in the Dance Studio.

Performing
February 8th, 9th, 10th & 11th
