Charlevoix Alano Club Announcement |
|
The Charlevoix Alano Club’s annual fundraising cash raffle has been cancelled due to Covid-19 and replaced with our virtual fundraising effort through our new website located at www.CharlevoixAlano.org. We just learned of a $2,000 matching grant if we raise an additional $2,000 between now and Labor Day. We started the fundraiser two weeks ago and have raised just over $6,000 of our $10,000 goal. This fundraising goal will help meet 20% of our annual operations budget to continue to offer recovery resources for the community. Since March 17th, over 20 weekly self-help meetings have been made available through zoom and nearly 10,000 log-ins have been recorded hosted by the Charlevoix Alano Club. To find a list of available meetings or make a donation to support our ongoing efforts to assure recovery resources are available to those in need, please go to our website at www.CharlevoixAlano.org.

Save The Theater with Your Support! |
|
On March 16th, the Charlevoix Cinema III had to close its doors due to COVID-19. While it was able to reopen with capacity restraints on June 10th, today’s environment has proven to be difficult to maintain operations. While many downtowns have long since lost their home-town theaters, Charlevoix was able to keep theirs, though the possibility of shutting the doors, particularly come the shoulder and winter seasons, is very real. That is why the Charlevoix Cinema III is asking for your support to keep its doors open! Community members, friends, visitors, and individuals can donate through the GoFundMe set up by the incoming new owner, Tom Jillson and his family.
Businesses – there is opportunity for your support as well! Charlevoix Cinema III offers advertisement reels to play before the movies, and is offering that opportunity as an extended perk for businesses able to purchase those slots now. Make your advertising dollars two-fold: promote your business, and support your home-town theater! Call Tom to discuss in more detail! 231.547.4353.
Additional opportunities for both businesses and individuals include private showings and personalized marquee messages – contact the theater for more information!

We Have Been Published!
I have worked very hard to build my business and then 2020 happened. I was very concerned that my business would crumble considering it is only 2 years old. Amid all the craziness of 2020, I got the most amazing news! Aisle Planner sent me an email stating that the wedding that I submitted to them was being featured! It was exactly what I needed to get me through this year and I am so grateful to have such an amazing community to share it with. Thank you to the Chamber for being so supportive this year!

Bay Street Orthopaedics Growth & Enhanced Services
Highlighted in Petoskey News Review Article
As Bay Street Orthopaedics and Spine moves through its fifth decade of operation, the Northern Michigan specialty medical practice can point to a variety of recent updates aimed at enhancing orthopedic care offerings in the region.
Justin Blohm, chief operating officer for the practice, said Bay Street’s physician lineup traditionally consisted of general surgeons, but additions of more fellowship-trained surgeons to the staff in recent years have boosted subspecialty offerings for addressing complex orthopedic issues.
Among the newer arrivals who’ve completed fellowships are Dr. Eric Mancini, who specializes in sports medicine, and Dr. Anthony Bozzio, a spine surgeon. Longer-term surgical staff members with fellowship training include Dr. Alfred Wroblewski (specializing in hand, elbow and shoulder surgery) and Dr. Scott Nemec (a foot and ankle surgeon).
“Our goal is to provide the whole range of subspecialty training so that people don’t have to drive downstate,” said Mancini, who currently serves as the practice’s managing partner.
Previously known as Bay Street Orthopaedics — a name referencing the original office location in downtown Petoskey — the practice added “Spine” to its name in 2019, reflecting the recent addition of surgical services for the spine to the existing range of musculoskeletal care.
Since the early 2000s, the Bay Street practice has been headquartered just west of Petoskey at the corner of U.S. 31 and Lake Grove Road. Some renovations earlier this year brought a new look to the building’s lobby area as well as the creation of a bracing services area, where patients can be provided with devices such as knee braces and shoulder slings. Previously, Bay Street referred patients to outside providers for bracing needs.
Bay Street, a practice founded in 1975, has expanded its group of satellite offices in recent years, adding locations in Gaylord, Traverse City, Cheboygan and Rogers City to a list that also includes satellite sites in Charlevoix and St. Ignace.
To view the rest of the article including many more of their updates click HERE! For more information about the practice, call (231) 347-5155 or see baystreetortho.com
