Join the Conversation, Constantine!
We’re inviting residents, business owners, and community members to come together for a Village Community Meeting on Thursday, May 14 from 7:00–8:00 PM at Constantine High School (LGIA).
This is your opportunity to:
✔ Hear updates on important Village projects and developments
✔ Learn what’s happening now—and what’s ahead
✔ Share your thoughts, concerns, and suggestions
Our goal is simple: make the good better and the better best—and that starts with open communication and community input.
Interim Village Manager Jim Bontrager will lead the discussion and ensure there is time for your voice to be heard.
We hope you’ll join us and be part of shaping Constantine’s future.
Your Village. Your Voice. Our Future.

Today, Constantine Rotary had the opportunity to tour a home being built right here in Constantine by Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County, alongside the CTE high school program. It’s amazing to see this project come to life—what a blessing it will be for a family soon! Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for all you do for our communities.

The Constantine Rotary had the privilege of reading to Eastside Elementary students in March and donating the book to their classrooms. It’s always such a joy to spend time with these wonderful kids and share the love of reading! 📚💙

🌉 Ever wondered why Michigan’s early builders put roofs on their bridges?
Join us on Thursday, April 23 at 6 pm as Michigan storyteller Dianna Stampfler guides us through the history, mystery, and quiet beauty of the state’s covered bridges. From their 1800s beginnings to the restorations that keep them standing today, these structures carry more than travelers—they carry stories.

This free program is a chance to slow down, learn something new, and see Michigan’s past in a fresh light. We’d love to have you with us.
