Pet of the Week - Penelope! |
|
Hi, My name is Penelope! I am around 4 years old and ready to find my forever home! I am very shy when I first meet you, but I will soon warm up when I am ready. I absolutely love my face/cheeks rubbed and will be your best friend. I am very good with most other dogs, of course we would have to do a meet and greet first. I am not too sure about cats though. I came from a hoarding situation, so potty training may be a little difficult, but I am ready to learn! I am a sweet, affectionate, gentle girl who everyone has fallen in love with at the shelter.

Smelt City VFW Partners with Community Foundation to Support Students |
|
The Smelt City VFW Post 3675 recently sold their building located on M-75 in Boyne City. With the proceeds, members chose to continue their support of local youth by establishing two funds with the Charlevoix County Community Foundation. “Our focus was on creating something that would support the kids of Boyne City and Boyne Falls like the VFW has for years,” explained Henry Erber, Smelt City VFW member.
After exploring their options, representatives of the Smelt City VFW ultimately elected to establish two Endowments for Student Success – one for Boyne City and one for Boyne Falls. “We liked the idea of a scholarship fund,” shared Bill Cousineau, another VFW representative, “but a scholarship benefits one student when they graduate. We learned that endowments for student success can help more kids while they’re still in our local schools. That impact was really appealing to us.”
