                    PAGE TWELVE CASS CITY CHRONICLE - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2019 CASS CITY, MICHIGAN Celebration of Ubly woman’s life on tap next month at hall

by Mary Drier For the Chronicle

There will be a special memorial next month for a woman who touched the lives of nearly every Ubly resident in one way or another before she passed away last December. A celebration of Lola Brown’s life will be held Saturday, May 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the township-village hall. Although not an Ubly native, Brown became an active member of her community when she and her husband, Bruce, moved to Ubly in 1965. She served as an EMT for Bingham Township Ambulance for about 25 years. She also started the first joint Ubly Community Vacation Bible School in 1978 in a partnership involving the Ubly United Methodist Church, the First Presbyterian Church of Ubly and St. John Catholic Church of Ubly. Brown continued her dedication to planning and or - ganizing the annual vacation bible school program for four decades. In addition, Brown was a member of the Ubly Lions Club, community club, the historical society, Ubly Village Council and Thumb Veterans Auxiliary, and served as secretary for The Wildwood Flowers for World Travel and Mind Enrichment. She and her husband owned the Brown House restaurant in Ubly along with Huron Vending, Huron Ice, Mid-Michigan Ice and Ubly Mini Stor - age. In recognition of her selfless dedication to the community, the Ubly Village Council passed a resolution in January honoring Brown. “Lola selflessly gave to our community and we were honored to know her,” the resolution states in part. Ubly among districts named green schools

Three Thumb schools are among those recently recognized as “Green Schools” for stewardship efforts in the areas of conservation, recycling and energy saving strategies. Schools that achieve a minimum of 10 points in an academic year have   been designated as an official Michigan Green School. Ubly High School earned an Emerald designation (15 points) and the Ubly Elementary School, an Evergreen designation (20 points). The #+#,(*+%/0+/ %(&  points are awarded based on school activities aimed at various conser - % + $(#'-+,(0 vation projects.
