Help Special Olympics <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the community of people with developmental disabilities loneliness and isolation are additional disabling factors. One very encouraging solution is the introduction of opportunities for groups of disabled people to socialize.<\/p>\n

Do you want to help empower and build an accepting community for people with intellectual disabilities? Get involved by helping charter a \u201cChampions\u201d Lions Club,<\/p>\n

\u201cChampions\u201d Lions Clubs focus on projects that serve Special Olympics athletes. Organizers are looking for individuals and families who would like to be involved in this initiative to support these athletes.<\/p>\n

There will be a meeting of interested individuals on Thursday, April 11 from 6-7 p.m. at St. John\u2019s Lutheran Church,
\n511 E. Sturgis, St. John\u2019s, MI 48879. For more information contact Lion Brent (989) 847-2803 bigbear@bearnet.net<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Historical Society needs your help identifying old photos<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Approximately 100 years ago our ancestors stood before a photographer and their image appeared upon a 5″ x 7″ piece of glass. Amazingly, 300+ of those panes of glass remain but most of the people are still unidentified. That’s where archivests need your help.<\/p>\n

There is now a webpage showing you these faces with hope that you know someone. There is an email address link for you to tell them the name and how you know them.<\/p>\n

Any and all information is welcome. clinton.migenweb.org\/CCHS\/GlassNegatives\/MAINPAGE.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

We all love a good mystery and it would be wonderful to be able to put a name to the face in the glass.<\/p>\n
