Ms. Moon’s 15 years as an elected official culminated a 36 year career in public service that includes positions on a number of boards and organizations at the local as well as state level. Her commitment to refining efficiencies in the Treasurer’s office resulted in a number of initiatives that led to savings in taxpayer and county dollars and her tireless efforts to expand the awareness of foreclosure prevention programs has assisted countless Newaygo County families.

The resolution read by Board Chair Bryan Kolk stated:
“Whereas, Holly Moon has been a knowledgeable and trusted resource to the entire Newaygo County Community for over 36 years as an elected official and member on many local boards and committees, including All Saints Church; Fremont Area Community Foundation, where she established the Betty Taylor Memorial Fund to support the wellbeing of local women, especially those in crisis; Gerber Hospital; United Way; and the White Cloud Rotary. 
“Now therefore be it resolved, the Newaygo County Board of Commissioners does hereby congratulate and thank Holly Moon, Newaygo County Treasurer, for her years of service and dedication to the people and officials of Newaygo County, and wishes her all the best in her retirement.”

Several elected officials and department heads delivered  praise to Treasurer Moon and State Senator Jon Bumstead also presented her with a plaque from the Governor’s Office.
​“Holly has been a great asset, and Newaygo County is losing a dedicated professional.” said Senator Bumstead.

And while her time in the Treasurer’s Office will come to an end on December 31, Ms. Moon will continue to serve the community on  a number of boards and committees while having more time to pursue personal interests including summers spent relaxing on the shores of Silver Lake with her husband Joe and their family.

Well done, Madame Treasurer.
