Good morning, Traverse City.

The Brown Bag Campaign supports over 100 foster children in Traverse City by providing essential supplies that go beyond what fits in a grocery bag + ensuring kids entering foster homes get the extra items they need for a fresh start.

William Koucky, who has fixed violins for famous musicians, is turning a Buckley landmark (historic) into a special hotel that showcases his skill in Traverse City.

The project uses his lifelong love for string instruments to bring a creative twist to the community.
