Citizen of the Year presentation and Volunteer Potluck 
Come together with friends, neighbors, and fellow Ely residents for a heartwarming afternoon at the Ely Legion on Sunday, April 13 at 12:00pm for a good old-fashioned Community Potluck!
Bring a dish to share and enjoy a delicious meal while catching up with friends and meeting new faces. Once everyone has had a chance to fill their plates and enjoy some great conversation, we’ll take a moment to recognize the incredible volunteers who help make Ely such a special place to live.
Lunch will wrap up with the presentation of the 2025 Citizen of the Year Award — congratulations to this year’s deserving recipients, Ed & Marlene Mertens.
We hope to see you there for an afternoon of good food, great company, and well-deserved recognition for the people who make a difference in our community. If you’re able to bring a dish to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Come hungry and leave inspired — we can't wait to celebrate with you!
