A2: Ele’s Place

The Detroit News reports that Sue Snyder, wife of Gov. Rick Snyder, has become the spokeswoman for Ele’s Place, a center for grieving children in Ann Arbor and Lansing. Says Snyder: “When my husband was elected governor of Michigan, suddenly I had people asking me, ‘What issues are you going to focus on as first lady?’ To be quite honest, my focus has always been on my family and my children, and I really didn’t see that changing very much. But (being first lady) is also a wonderful opportunity to combine my support for an organization like Ele’s Place, with a chance to raise awareness statewide on the important topic of grieving children.” [Source]
