Emerald Isle Irish Feile
September 6-8
The theme of natural born and transplanted Irish citizens celebrating Irish heritage will run continuously through this upcoming celebration of Irish history, Music, dancing and old-fashioned Irish fun. The island’s own Irish performers will lend a hand to the lineup of incoming musicians and bands, guaranteeing a constant stream of Irish ballads, tunes and drinking songs to accompany an array of planned activities and entertainment venues. The “feile” (festival), a long-awaited comeback, Celtic fair of sorts will surely attract Beaver Island’s twin-city relatives from Aranmore Island, Ireland. Come join the party and swing your shamrocks!

Lions Club Partners with Munson Healthcare Charlevoix Hospital for Mt. McSauba Campers
|
|
Campers at this year’s Mt. McSauba day camp became familiar with a new program rolled out as a result of a partnership with the local Lions Club and Munson Healthcare Charlevoix Hospital. Called “Try-it-Tuesday,” the program’s goal was to introduce new healthy snack foods to the campers, aged 5-13.
The hospital, through its Wellness Workshop, provided a dietitian and registered nurse to work with the campers each Tuesday morning, making healthy snacks. In many cases, the young campers were trying certain fruits, veggies and other nutritious snacks for the very first time. Smoothies, fruit kabobs, parfaits and fruit “bugs” all took their turns showing up in pre-packaged kits for groups of campers to work together to assemble. The hospital’s certified diabetes educator, Amanda Evans, and Kristie Fichtner, RN, joined the campers each Tuesday to not only provide the ingredients and recipes, but to provide health tips and education that would help promote healthy eating.
