Please support our upcoming events Save
This ad is sponsored by
Uptown Grill Thursday, March 10 from 4 - 8 pm. Proceeds go to Save Brian’s House for renovations on the hospice residence.
BRIAN’S HOUSE
Brian’s House for hospice care is becoming closer to a reality each day due to the efforts of a group committed to the cause and the community donors! It’s great to have such community support when it comes to funding. We know there’s a need for this hospice residence, and the community is becoming more aware and supporting us. Brian’s House, along with, Campassus Home and Hospice Advantage plan on opening a six bed residence that would cater to individuals who are chronically or terminally ill and need a place to spend what could be their final days in comfort and dignity.

Great Lakes Kids’ Directory has many features that make it a valuable resource for parents, teachers, grandparents and childcare professionals - anyone who is involved with children. It is compact in size, making it a handy resource to keep in your purse or car. In addition, it offers valuable coupons for use at kid-friendly businesses and includes a calendar of events so you know what’s going on across the Great Lakes Bay Region each month. You’ll even find a convenient dining guide inside that lists restaurants offering FREE or discounted kids meals. Our goal each month is to help inform our readers of the many opportunities, events, products and services available for families in Great Lakes Bay Region.
