Summer Classes for Kids at Raven Hill
Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.” That being said, Raven Hill is excited to announce a return to past years with Summer Classes for Kids. Classes will replace Discovery Camps, allowing staff and volunteers to teach and participating kids to focus on a specific subject area, like Science Magic, Pioneer Living or Fiber Arts. Of course, there will be some time at the beginning and end of each class to see the animals and play in the Discovery Room, but the majority of each session will focus on a given area of study.
Classes will be informal and active. Three different classes—one each of science, history and art—will be taught in the morning and a different three sessions will be scheduled for the afternoon. Kids can attend morning classes, afternoon classes or both. They will choose their focus and explore a variety of hands-on lessons on a particular topic over the course of four days—Monday through Thursday. There must be a minimum of five (5) registrations per class or that class will be canceled. However, with parent approval of a session change, classes may be merged to reach the minimum number. Those choosing to take morning and afternoon classes, may bring their lunches and stay for a half hour supervised break. Suggested ages are 5 to 14 and activities will be age-appropriate for those signed up in a class. Call 231.536.3369 or email info@miravenhill.org for more information or if you have any questions. A flyer is attached to this email with a list of classes and a registration form. This is the summer to learn, create, grow and play during Raven Hill’s Summer Classes for Kids.

Pet of The Week - Sugar!
Say hello to Sugar! This pretty girl came to us as a feral stray. We originally had her listed as a barn cat, but over time here she grew accepting of our staff and decided she wanted affection. Sugar will need someone that can be patient with her and let her accept them on her own terms. She doesn't care too much for other cats but will tolerate them. Sugar would thrive in a quiet home without young children.
She is overall looking for a best friend she can come to when she needs pets and love.

Chip Hansen Announces Retirement from Charlevoix County Community Foundation
After serving as the Community Foundation’s President for the past 13 years, Chip Hansen has announced that he will retire at the end of April 2023.
During Hansen’s tenure as President, the assets of the Community Foundation grew from $19.4 million in July 2010 to more than $55 million today. The number of charitable funds has grown to 330. Total grants and scholarships have increased from $1 million to more than $2.5 million annually. More than 80 Legacy Society members have been added as well, and these future gifts will ensure that the Community Foundation will continue to work at the intersection of resources and opportunity well into the future. He has expanded the role of the Community Foundation as a visible and engaged leader in the community locally, while also enriching the field of philanthropy regionally and statewide. Along with others, Hansen organized a group of regional community foundation leaders who meet quarterly to share resources and ideas. He has served on several Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) planning committees and is currently serving as one of four co-chairs of CMF’s 50th Anniversary Committee. “Chip has been a dedicated and faithful advocate for all of us in Charlevoix County. His tireless work at the Charlevoix County Community Foundation will leave a measurable impact on our area for generations to come,” says Board Chair Monica Peck. “All of us who have had the pleasure of working with Chip have benefited from his kind and innovative leadership.”

Char-Em ISD’s Jim Rummer named Michigan’s 2023 Career Tech Administrator of the Year
When Jim Rummer began his career as Director of Career and Technical Education for Char-Em ISD 15 years ago, there were a handful of vocational education programs spread around the ISD’s 11 public school districts. CTE was just taking off and becoming recognized as a valuable path for some high school students post-graduation.
Rummer has spent the past 15-plus years growing not only CTE programs throughout the ISD, but also the reputation of the skilled trades as high-paying, in-demand, crucial jobs for young adults after they graduate from high school. Today, Char-Em ISD and local school district partners offer 20 different courses running the gamut of skills and subjects, from aviation to woodworking and many innovative options in between.
In recognition of Rummer’s exceptional efforts with career and technical education in Michigan, he was selected as the Michigan Association for Career and Technical Education’s 2023 CTE Administrator of the Year. He was recognized during the Michigan Career Education Conference annual event on Jan. 31, 2023, in Grand Rapids. Along with Rummer’s recognition, Char-Em ISD career tech was also recognized with an Excellence in Practice Award for the newly launched Char-Em Street STEM program.
“Jim Rummer’s name has become synonymous with ‘career tech’ in Northern Michigan, and for good reason. He is committed to providing opportunities for kids to explore career interests and to find their passion, and he’s also committed to making innovative programs happen,” said Scott Koziol, Char-Em ISD Superintendent. “Jim has changed the conversation around the skilled trades in our area to one that showcases the positive possibilities such careers hold for our region’s young adults. This state-level award is much deserved, and his colleagues at Char-Em ISD congratulate Jim on this recognition.”
