VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Candlelight Hikes at Mt. McSauba begin on December 29th and run every Friday from 5:00 to 8:00 PM through February 23rd. Every Friday the Recreation Department will be setting up a different route through the trails and along the beach that captures the beauty of winter in Charlevoix. And every Friday, hundreds of people will be coming out to hike the trails. The truth is, that without the help of volunteers, we can't offer this great experience.
We need volunteers to help with set-up, greeting, and tear down.
Setting up the trail is a blast. You help determine the route for the night and get a chance to see the trail before it gets dark. We will be setting out over 150 lanterns along the one-mile trail route.
Our greeters have so much fun welcoming hikers and visitors to Mt. McSauba. Greeters are stationed at the fire ring and help direct hikers, share hot chocolate and answer any questions. It's always fun to meet visitors from around the state, the country and the world.
Teardown may be the most fun as you are the last people to walk the trail. As all lanterns are picked up and loaded into the sled, you get to experience the solitude and beauty of tonight's hike, one last time.
Got a group of co-workers, club members, or friends and you want to adopt a night? Just let us know and you can be the event "sponsor" volunteers for the evening! Group volunteers will get extra recognition through social media post and signage at the event.
If you have any questions, call Kent or Beth at 231-547-3253 or 231-547-7183.

Pet of The Week-Finley!
Meet Finley!
Finley was surrendered to us due to no fault of his own and is such a sweet and spunky guy.
Finley arrived with his sister Kismet and he is the more social of the two but still a little cautious of new people. While Finley is a husky, he is very small for his breed weighting only about 35 pounds.
Finley seems to like most other dogs and seems to ignore cats.

SOUNDS OF RINGING BELLS TO SOUNDS OF HAMMERS?!
It is common to hear the sound of bell ringing during the holiday season at Red Kettles located across the region, but hammers? Hammers have been pounding at The Salvation Army of Petoskey’s new Community Center located at 2350 Mitchell Park Drive since renovations commenced during the 2nd week of November. The official project end date for renovations is May 30, 2024.
The new facility addresses many issues surrounding our current Community Center. It is barrier free, has ample parking, green space for children to play outdoors and the room to expand needed programs and services. Our new commercial kitchen will be a blessing that will serve warm, nutritious meals to many hungry neighbors. There will also be a larger community room which will be able to accommodate those attending congregational meals and meetings.
The Salvation Army’s current Community Center has many issues limiting its usefulness and we recently accepted an offer to sell the property. Because the new owners are taking immediate possession of the building, staff will be relocating to the new facility by January 5, 2024. The public will not be permitted to enter the building during its renovation, however all Salvation Army services will be continued.
The Emergency Financial Assistance Program that provides heat, electricity, emergency auto repair and other services to individuals and families, will continue to operate via phone and internet appointments. The Bible Adventure Corps Program which runs daily after school for children will temporarily be relocated to the True North Church, located on Mitchell Rd. Meal Delivery and Carry Out Services will continue with the continued help of The Church of Christ.
“It is important for the public to know that although we are in a transitional period while relocating, we are still here to help people” said Envoy Roman Hank.
The Salvation Army of Petoskey helps many individuals and families each year. To give, please visit SAPetoskey.org online and click on “Donate Now”, drop-off or mail a check or money order made out to The Salvation Army to their local office located at 712 Pleasant Street, or you may donate gently used items and shop at The Salvation Army Thrift Store located at 1615 Clarion Ave in Petoskey.
The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the Universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. For more information about our ministries, programs or services, please visit www.SAPetoskey.org or call (231) 347-3531.

Charlevoix County Community Foundation Empowers Youth Through Mentorship
In a world that often seems disconnected and fast-paced, it is heartening to see organizations like the Charlevoix County Community Foundation stepping up to make a difference in our community. Their recent $10,500 grant award to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (Bigs) will support five children in Charlevoix County with caring, adult mentors.
The impact of mentoring is immeasurable. It has the power to boost self-esteem, improve academic performance, and foster positive relationships. By investing in our youth, the Charlevoix County Community Foundation is sowing the seeds of a brighter future for our community as a whole.
“We are grateful for the Foundation's belief in our mission and their commitment to nurturing the next generation,” said Cecilia Chesney, CEO of Bigs. “Their support not only provides resources for our mentoring program, but it also sends a powerful message to our community - that we value our young people and are dedicated to helping them succeed.”
Mentoring is a powerful tool that can transform the lives of young people, providing them with guidance, support, and a positive role model. With the Foundation's support, Bigs will be able to match these children with mentors who will be there for them through thick and thin, helping them navigate the challenges of life and empowering them to reach their full potential.
In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, it is reassuring to know that there are organizations like the Charlevoix County Community Foundation that are working tirelessly to create a brighter future for our youth. Through their generous support, they are not only changing the lives of five children but also shaping the trajectory of our community. Together, we can create a world where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
