Many folks with a variety of connections to Shultz stopped by during a two-hour period to wish the veteran DHS employee well as she wraps up a 38-year career with the agency.
Shultz, who has been “the cornerstone for many community projects” during a career that dates back to 1974, will officially retire on Friday (July 13).
A similar open house will take place Thursday (July 12) from 3 to 5 p.m. at the DHS office in Cassopolis at 325 M-62.
