"Elizabeth Whitney Williams- Women of the Lighthouse" presented by Dianna Stampfler
November 22
6-8 pm
An in-depth look at the illuminating life of Elizabeth (Whitney) VanRiper Williams, Michigan’s most noted female lighthouse keeper. A teenage bride, she and her husband, Clement VanRiper, moved into the St. James Harbor Light at Whiskey Point (one of two lighthouses on Beaver Island) in 1869, and thus began her 44-year career as a tender of now historic beacons. When Clement died in a shipwreck rescue attempt, Elizabeth was appointed head keeper of her beloved light. She later remarried (Daniel Williams) and ultimately relocated to the new Little Traverse Lighthouse at Harbor Point in Harbor Springs, retiring in 1913. She and Daniel lived another 26 years in nearby Charlevoix, both passing away in January 1938 (within 24 hours of each other).

For Love of Land – The New Richard and Sadie Bartosik Nature Preserve
It is hard to imagine a deeper love than one grown from spending decades together on the same beautiful piece of land, living the life they dreamed of.
Such was the case for Sadie and Richard Bartosik, who moved near Charlevoix in 1967, changing careers and homes, to invest in a special piece of land. And after first protecting 80 acres of that land in 2002 with a conservation easement, Sadie recently donated 107 acres surrounding their homestead to create the Richard and Sadie Bartosik Nature Preserve.

Pet of The Week - Zen!
Say hello to Zen! This spunky girl came to us from another shelter due to overcrowding. When Zen first arrived she was very shy and nervous, after spending some time with her she has really come out and shown us her true personality! Once Zen has welcomed you into her space she is a little bundle of energy with a butt that never stops wiggling. Zen is very affectionate and not really a fan of personal space, she will gladly jump on you and we think, she might think, she's a lap dog. While Zen does not currently have a lot of training, she is very treat motivated and eager to learn, so basic commands should come quickly. We are unsure as to whether she is housebroken but again, we think she will catch on very quickly. She would be best in a home with children over 5 due to her still learning manners and may not be the best fit for a home with cats as she is VERY curious about them.

Bigs Celebrates Senior Mentoring Specialist’s 16th Anniversary
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan (Bigs) is proud to recognize and honor the 16th work anniversary of Senior Mentoring Specialist, Christie Ward-Strahan.
Christie first joined the mentoring staff as a Mentoring Specialist in 2006 and was later promoted to Senior Mentoring Specialist. In addition to providing superior support to her peers, she currently oversees volunteer recruitment, child enrollment and the creation and support of matches between Bigs and Littles in Charlevoix and Emmet counties. She is also a former Big Sister, an Ambassador for the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce, mom to two wonderful children and a wife to her loving husband Mike.
Christie is a true believer that every single child has potential and with that a portfolio of experiences that make them who they are as they interact with the world which makes her an incredible advocate and asset for the children in Bigs’ program.
“We often say that Christie’s superpower is her innate ability to connect with the children, Mentors and families she works with. Her matches have often commented that they feel heard and trust that she will guide them every step of the way. This paves the way for them to build meaningful and impactful relationships, “said Cecilia Chesney, CEO of Bigs. “She is an invaluable member of our team and is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
