Support restaurant workers!
Join us for the #TiptheBillHS Challenge
With our restaurants and their employees being severely limited again, the Harbor Springs Chamber is encouraging you to join the Tip the Bill Challenge. The challenge is to tip the TOTAL AMOUNT of your restaurant or any service bill and post a pic of it on our Facebook or Instagram pages. Use the hashtag #tipthebillHS. The goal is to make sure our waitresses, bartenders and other servers in bars and restaurants are taken care of. With less traffic in restaurants and bars the servers aren’t getting the tips they count on to make their living. If that's not possible to do every time, but if you can, please do. At the very least, we ask you to challenge yourself to tip more than normal. It’s the holiday season, and our restaurants and their staff need our help to help them to have the best holiday possible.

COVID-19 Alert: New three-week epidemic order
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has announced the temporary closing of indoor dining, casinos, movie theaters and in-person classes at high schools and colleges. Here is the Nov. 15th press release from the state Health Department:
LANSING - The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a new emergency order Sunday that enacts a three-week pause targeting indoor social gatherings and other group activities in an effort to curb rapidly rising COVID-19 infection rates.
Under this order, indoor residential gatherings are limited to two households at any one time. However, MDHHS strongly urges families to pick a single other household to interact with over the next three weeks, consistent with new guidance released by the department. The order is aimed at limiting residential and non-residential gatherings where COVID-19 spreads rapidly. Bars and restaurants will be open for outdoor dining, carry-out and delivery only. Gyms will remain open for individual exercise with strict safety measures in place. Casinos, movie theaters and group exercise classes will be closed. Professional and college sports meeting extraordinary standards for risk mitigation may continue without spectators, however all other organized sports must stop. Colleges and high schools may proceed with remote learning, but must end in-person classes.

The Chamber will have trucks at the parking lot between the Chamber and Shay House. We will be collecting items for those in need this holiday season. Please consider dropping off gently used blankets, coats, hats, gloves, socks, warm clothing of any type. We will get these donations to our local organizations.
We will also be collecting items for the Friendship Center to include in their Pouches of Love - Christmas CD's, soup packets, Kleenex (purse size), Chapstick, travel size hand sanitizer, flashlights, grip jar openers, individual arts and crafts projects, exercise videos, individual packets of snacks. These are items that will be given to seniors who are not able to get out at this time. They truly appreciate being remembered.
Thank you to the Harbor Springs community for your care and generosity.

Member Spotlight: Coping with Covid |

We've asked our members how they are doing these days, when many of us have had to change how we conduct business. If you’d like to be featured in our Member Spotlight and share some of your ideas and coping strategies, please take this short survey.

Kjersti Kontio, My Life Health Coach:
"We are being challenged during this time to figure it out and make the best of what we have, and we have a lot!"
|
|
What have you had to do differently since the pandemic began?
My business model was built around speaking to business management and employees about healthy habits and stress management in the workplace and balancing career and family. Since the pandemic, my focus has shifted to Zoom presentations as opposed to in-person and reaching individuals privately who are struggling with these issues. Of course, Covid has created a lot of stress on businesses and their employees and that has added a new layer to my coaching practice.
What is the most important thing you have learned?
There is always a silver lining! With new challenges come new opportunities and those who search out creative solutions and reach out to collaborate with others will find themselves stronger on the other side. If we are living and working our passion, there is no option to give up. We are being challenged during this time to figure it out and make the best of what we have, and we have a lot!
|
|
|
Anything else you would like to share?
I am dedicated to helping everyone feel their best so they can live their best life! Sometimes it's a small change, and sometimes it's a huge change that we chunk down into small manageable steps over time. If you can dream it, you CAN do it! (Unless your dream is to be 7 feet tall and be a pro basketball player:).Invite everyone to reach out who is curious about what I do as a Health & Life Coach. My initial consultation is always at no charge and I would love to talk to you!
