Free radon test kits available at the Kent District Library
The Kent County Health Department is once again partnering with the Kent District Library to distribute free radon test kits throughout January for Radon Action Month. Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Experts say testing is the only way to know if your home is at risk.
Health officials will be at select KDL branches, including Plainfield, Cascade, Grandville, and Kentwood, every Tuesday morning this month to hand out kits. You can also pick one up at the health department on Fuller Avenue or check out a detector from the library.
Get more information at kdl.org.
Interview opportunities at the Kalamazoo Country Club
A major transformation is bringing new jobs to one of Kalamazoo's oldest institutions. Greenleaf Hospitality Group is holding open interviews for the highly anticipated opening of the new Kalamazoo Country Club. While KCC was originally founded in 1909, this project is not a remodel - it is a complete, brand-new build designed to reimagine the clubhouse, aquatic center, and raquet facility for the next century.
The new facility is slated to open in early spring 2026, and interviews for multiple positions including food and beverage, concierge, and facilities will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, January 13 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. Interviews will take place at Brick and Brine inside the Radisson Plaza hotel, and parking will be validated.
