On Wednesday, April 5 the Briggs District Library will be hosting Irene Miller, a Holocaust survivor, author, speaker and educator. She will discuss her memoir, Into No Man’s Land: A Historical Memoir<\/em>, and share her message promoting tolerance and diversity.<\/p>\n

Miller will take you on a survival journey little written and known about. You will sleep in the winter under an open sky on the no man\u2019s land; you will freeze in a Siberian labor camp where the bears come to your door front. In Uzbekistan, you will live on boiled grass or broiled onions, and shiver with malaria. You will spend years in orphanages. When this is over you will wonder how a child with this background grows up to become a positive, creative, accomplished woman with a joy of living and love to share.<\/p>\n

It is a story of courage, determination, perseverance and the power of the human spirit.<\/p>\n

Copies of Into No Man’s Land <\/em>will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n

Advance registration is required. Register here<\/span><\/a> or by calling the library at 989-224-4702.<\/p>\n

Giving Paws Volunteer Training is April 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mission of Giving Paws is to serve the community with trained support dogs. Their next Volunteer Training is Thursday, April 13 at 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

If you would like more information about the program please join them. RSVPs appreciated by contacting our Executive Handler at (989) 640-8091 or ExecutiveHandler@gmail.com<\/span><\/a>. Information is also available on our website GivingHappyPaws.org<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The founding Executive Handler takes care of Clinton County’s first Canine Advocate (court dog).
\nIn this work many great dog lovers ask about how to train their dogs and how their dogs can work in the community.<\/p>\n

In 2022, along with other community dog lovers, their Leaders of the Pack (LOP) formed. Collectively the LOP has many years of experiences in nonprofit work, dog handling, business, education and community service.<\/p>\n

Throughout 2022 they did all the paperwork establishing Giving Paws as a legal 501(c)3 organization and policy work to ensure best practices of the Leaders of the Pack, volunteers and future staff. In 2023 the support dogs got their Paws on the Ground in the community.<\/p>\n
