Commonly known as the “winter blues,” Seasonal Affective Disorder – or SAD – is a regular depression disorder with symptoms that begin in the fall and continue into winter months. Sometimes, SAD symptoms appear in the spring or early summer and cause an unhappy mood with low energy. Those most likely to have it are younger females and those with family histories of depression, bipolar disorder or SAD.

A celebration of faith, tradition, generational connections and community, this multifaceted event featured classes in all levels of tap dancing, as well as African drumming with Baba Kevin Collins, and Afro-Caribbean and African dance classes led by many of Tapology’s teaching and performing artists including Tapology CEO, Bruce Bradley.

Following an elegant champagne reception and silent auction, attendees enjoyed a buffet dinner and sparkling conversation while bidding on live auction items including a Mackinaw City getaway and breakfast with giraffes at the Detroit Zoo. Each year’s reverse auction donations are earmarked for a specific need at the shelter. This year, they will help establish an emergency medical fund in honor of retired veterinarian Dr. John Snell who provided care for HSGC animals at his Flint clinic, many times free of charge, for over 50 years.

Just over 200 individuals gathered for this evening of food and fun that included a bourbon tasting and silent auction. The spotlight was on 15 one-of-a-kind chairs created by local artists and volunteers that were auctioned, both live and live-online. The event raised nearly $81,000 to support many Catholic Charities programs that make a significant difference in the lives of community members in need.

He’s proud of his time spent serving in the United States Army, proud of what he has been able to do for his community through his successful business, Sharp Funeral Homes and, above all, he is proud of our nation’s veterans and what they have done for this country. “I’m proud to be a veteran and I am proud of all the veterans we are able to serve through the funeral homes,” he states. “We are proud to lend support to various veterans organizations, as well as the Great Lakes National Cemetery.”

Steven Taubitz is the new owner of the Fenton Hotel Tavern & Grille in downtown Fenton.
I sure hope everyone is enjoying this Michigan summer as much as I am. As I write this column, we’re just past the Fourth of July celebrations and appreciating the fact that this beautiful country is now 250 years old. My husband and I were fortunate to be invited to two get-togethers on Lake Fenton on July 4. One party was filled with young families and children enjoying the lake, while the other reunited old friends. Both were equally wonderful. We ended the evening on our patio, taking in the fireworks all around us. We’re especially grateful that our dog doesn’t pay attention to the loud booms.
One of Downtown Fenton’s newest dining destinations is rooted in one of the city’s oldest stories.
