\nwith Disappointing miscue to evening\u2019s spirit<\/strong>
\nA near capacity crowd filled the Emerald Golf Course clubhouse Jan. 28, sampled chili, munched on hotdogs and cheered a line up of karaoke contestants while raising funds toward Sparrow Clinton Hospital Auxiliary\u2019s project to purchase a bedside monitoring system. The fourth annual \u201cSnow Day at the Emerald\u201d hosted the largest attendance so far and when final tabulations are completed may well be the top fund raiser since the initial event.
\nThe Auxiliary has been working toward the purchase of an $18,000.00 emergency room bedside monitoring system for the past few years and before the recent Snow Day gathering had raised $13,000.00. Fund raising chair, Kathie Clock was pleased and felt among this event, the spring flower sale, the annual golf outing and other projects, the goal may be reached this year.
\nMeanwhile, those attending this year\u2019s Snow Day kept the spirit high as they tasted ten chili recipes, enjoyed a happy hot dog dinner with salad and chips, enjoyed an array of assorted dainty deserts prepared by Auxilian Dianne Zuker, shared the warmth of a huge bonfire, then screamed in excitement while being entertained by a group of eleven karaoke contestants who each gave a $5.00 entry fee. In all, the atmosphere was festive and the crowd cheerfully used its dollars to further the Auxiliary\u2019s cause.

\nWhile the dollars flowed to the auxiliary, individuals received recognition, including Tom Hollis who took first place – on behalf of the Emerald \u2013 for his chili recipe. Larry Moeggenberg representing the American Legion won second place and Beth Smith of Main Street Caf\u00e9 placed third. Other entrants included A-MAE-Zing Hair Care, Big Boy, Bruno\u2019s, F.C. Mason, Galesk Tree Farm, Swany\u2019s and Wheel Inn. Entrance fee for the cook off was $25.00 each.
\nOther recognition went to eleven karaoke contestants who kept the crowd cheering with personal renditions of favorite songs, new and old. Winners in this effort were Ed Delacruz, first; Jerry Winans, second and the team of Jan Kelley and Rick Preister, third. Winans donated his emcee skills and equipment as \u201cSmiley Day Karaoke\u201d on behalf of the Auxiliary\u2019s project. A $400.00 half of a 50\/50 drawing went to Jim Ellickson.
\nMs Clock put a wrap on the evening by expressing appreciation to all who attended. \u201cWe are so thankful for this wonderful turnout,\u201d she said, \u201cand a special note to the chili and karaoke entrants for their efforts. We cannot forget Jerry Winans for coordinating and contributing his karaoke time and to the Emerald staff. It has been a fantastic evening.\u201d
\nThe Auxiliary\u2019s next major fund raising effort will be the spring flower sale, set for mid-May.<\/p>\n

Disappointing miscue to evening\u2019s spirit<\/strong>
\nDo you have an unfamiliar woman\u2019s coat in your closet?
\nSomehow, at the end of the Snow Day evening, a woman\u2019s coat was inadvertently adopted by a departing guest. The owner strongly hopes to have the adoption nullified and sincerely asks that closets be examined to ensure that an unknown coat is not nestled among strangers.
\nIf your review discovers an alien item, please call Jay Eccleton at the Emerald, 989 224 6287 or email him at director@emeraldgolfcourse.com<\/a>, so arrangements may be made to reunite coat and owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
