It is my pleasure to help celebrate the good works of one of our own. The successes of our colleague, Ed Klobucher, is being honored and appreciated by Hazel Park’s Mayor Michael Webb and the city council by Proclamation. Ed has served the community he grew up in, Hazel Park, in a wide variety of roles, with the last twenty (20) years as city manager.
As Ed has stepped up to serve, it can be even more challenging in the community where you grew up. Please let Ed know how much we appreciate not only his good works in his community, but at MML and the State of Michigan. He has brought a positive light, not for himself, but in the service of his community and honoring our profession. Best regards Ed!
