On Saturday, May 11, the Hope Church parking lot will be staffed by members of the People 1st of the Lakeshore. The parking lot will be roped off for the Tulip Time Muziek Parade and People 1st of the Lakeshore will be collecting a fee for parking as a fundraiser for their chapter.
What is People 1st of the Lakeshore? 
It is the Ottawa and Allegan County Chapter of individuals with developmental disabilities. People 1st was started in Oregon in 1974. Members want to speak for themselves and let people know who they are and what they have to offer. Their motto is that they are people first and their disabilities come second.
Would you like to join People 1st?
