FLINT, MI – Financial Plus Credit Union’s Fenton location has been awarded the third quarter Brick Award by the Fenton & Linden Chamber of Commerce for their recent remodel and new monument sign. The Fenton & Linden Chamber of Commerce presents one Brick Award per quarter to recognize an organization for improvements to its business and the community. “We are honored that the Fenton & Linden Chamber is awarding Financial Plus the Brick Award,” said Ashlee Horn, District Manager at Financial Plus Credit Union. “The renovation has not only enhanced the aesthetics of our building, but it has become a catalyst for positive change, attracting new members, and generating new opportunities in our community. We have created a space that reflects the spirit and aspirations of the Fenton community, bringing people together, and sparking innovation.” The renovation of Financial Plus’s Fenton location commenced in 2022 and coincided with the unveiling of the institution’s rebrand, both of which were officially introduced to the public in February 2023. Financial Plus worked closely with NBS Commercial Interiors on the branch redesign, ensuring that the remodel reflects its new look and the promise to help members reach their highest potential. Ashlee Horn and Mary Olson, Assistant Sales Manager of the Fenton location, attended The Fenton & Linden Chamber’s September Networking at Noon luncheon and accepted the Brick Award on behalf of Financial Plus.

On April 11, join Sheriff Swanson and a vast coalition of animal lovers in the fight against animal abuse and cruelty for the kick-off of the Protect MI Pet project – a ballot initiative to help protect the innocent animals that cannot protect themselves. Protect MI Pet is an initiative to help abused animals by holding their owners accountable and finding the victims loving and supporting homes. The Protect MI Pet project looks to get an initiative on the November 2024 ballot in Michigan that will create a registry of convicted animal abusers and bar them from animal ownership for a period of time. The initiative will also change property laws to spare abused animals more suffering in cages while their abusers await trial. Visit protectmipet.com to volunteer or donate, or for more information.
This Friday, March 17, the legend finally ends after 40-years. The vaunted Rats of Unusual Size have finally decided to put an end to the misery. “It’s time,” says founder Jim Fourniadis. “We’re all getting old. After 40-years, it’s time to retire The Rats and there isn’t a better place to do it than where it all began at The Local.” Since, um…well, forever, the Rats of Unusual Size have tarnished the city with their punk mayhem at the Local 432. This Friday will be the final show ever. Joining Fourniadis onstage will be Tim Flynn (drums), Steve Reddy (bass), and Gary Mueller (guitar). As an extra special surprise, the band will be joined by original New York members Tom Cassar (bass) and Andy Pagel (drums). The Rats of Unusual Size will also be accompanied by bands The Guilty Bystanders and The Halftones.
