Westland officials will go ‘The Extra Mile’
2 arrested in armed robbery of pharmacy
Canton Lions Club hosts charity Euchre tournament
They will be going the extra
mile in Westland on Nov. 1 when
MayorWilliamWild, local business
people, city department heads and
city employees will be out raking
leaves for city senior citizens.
The effort is part of Extra Mile
Day which will be celebrated
across the country the first day of
November.
The day is planned as an oppor-
tunity to recognize people and
organizations within local com-
munities who are creating positive
change through their extra mile
efforts in volunteerism and serv-
ice.
“As we work to move Westland
forward, my administration under-
stands that progress would not be
possible without the dedication
and hard-work of the organiza-
tions and individuals who support
our All American City in so many
ways,” said Wild. “We are thrilled
to officially be a part of this move-
ment and distinguish these citi-
zens and businesses who continue
to make a difference in the com-
munity.”
Westland has created an official
proclamation acknowledging city
support and participation in the
mission of Extra Mile America,
and will be one of 400 Extra Mile
cities participating,Wild said.
As a part of the Extra Mile ini-
tiative, the city has been asked to
submit the names of up to five peo-
ple or organizations that are mak-
ing significant contributions to
make Westland the best it can be.
The city will be promoting Extra
Mile Day on Facebook and asking
residents for their input as to who
should be nominated. Residents
can look for Facebook posts which
began this week and make their
nomination, along with a brief
summary of how their nominee
has gone the “extra mile,” in the
comments section.
Shawn Anderson founded
Extra Mile Day in 2009, with a
vision that one person can make a
difference. As a result Extra Mile
Day has grown from 23 participat-
ing cities in its inaugural year, to
116 in 2010, 362 in 2012, and this
year the goal is to have 400 cities
participate.
More information about Extra
Mile Day can be found on the web-
site at: www.ExtraMileAmerica.
