Your Support Makes Local Stories Possible
Donate today to double your impact.
Dear Friend,
At East Lansing Info (ELi), we don’t just share the news—we tell the stories that shape our community, celebrate our neighbors, and connect us to what matters most in East Lansing. As we continue our year-end campaign, we’re reflecting on some of the powerful stories we’ve brought you this year, stories made possible by your support.
- We introduced you to Justyne Richardson, the new principal of Glencairn Elementary School, a leader shaping the future of East Lansing’s youngest learners.
- We celebrated the remarkable life of Irv Nichols in “A Century Well Spent,” where Irv reflected on his 100 years of experiences and memories.
- We brought nature enthusiasts together with the story of a rare bird sighting, which drew birders from all over East Lansing to marvel at its beauty.
- We spotlighted the Michigan Waterways Stewards, a coalition working to conserve and protect the local waters we all cherish.
These stories—and so many others—are a testament to the people, places, and passion that make East Lansing unique. They are also a reminder of why ELi exists: to tell our community’s stories in a way no one else can.
