The weather threatened to dampen spirits, but fans flocked to Grand Blanc to enjoy professional golf action. The event schedule started with a Pro-Am on Thursday afternoon. Thunderstorms postponed Friday’s first round of official competition until Saturday, when they played catch-up with a very early start time. When play concluded, the fan-favorite charity Celebrity Challenge on Holes 17 and 18 featured golf’s greatest champion Jack Nicklaus, legendary Red Wings player Darren McCarty, former Detroit Tigers pitcher Dave Rozema and other sports greats. Attendees also enjoyed two concerts: Don Felder on Friday and the Community Concert on Saturday starring Miranda Lambert, followed by an exciting drone show. On Sunday morning, Zehnders offered complimentary chicken & waffles and that afternoon, three-time major champion Vijay Singh came from behind to win his first Champions Tour victory in almost five years. The World Golf Hall-of-Famer now has won four times at Warwick Hills, including three Buick Opens.

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.

To put one’s life in harm’s way for the safety of others is a sacrifice that takes equal amounts of selflessness and courage. In Greater Flint, there are hundreds of men and women willing to put it all on the line for our communities without hesitation. Our police officers and firefighters are second to none in the country and each of them has shown that they are ready to go above and beyond for any of us in need of help.

July Reading List

July is the perfect time to slow down, relax, and get lost in a good book. Whether reading on a porch swing, at the beach, or during a quiet summer evening, books have a unique way of improving the day. Reading reduces stress, sharpens the mind, and gives readers a chance to escape from daily pressures for a little while. In a season filled with busy schedules and constant screens, taking time to read can feel refreshing and calming — a simple habit that makes summer days more meaningful and enjoyable.

Vacation Mode

Lately, we have been trying to dip into vacation mode with a little more regularity. However, this has been met with no small amount of difficulty. With plane ticket prices so high, gas prices through the roof, and everything more expensive than it used to be, we have instead tried to find staycation opportunities closer to home.

So you wanna open a restaurant, huh?

Editor’s Letter

Last month My City celebrated its 13th year as your local magazine, focused on covering all of the creative, artistic, successful, positive individuals and events of the greater Flint area. This month, I am celebrating one year with My City. The previous publisher and editor, Vince Lorraine and Sherron Barden, created a fantastic local magazine that was filled from cover to cover with interesting stories, and reputable businesses ready to take care of all of your needs. After leaving the newspaper business after more than 20 years, I stepped into this role with the new publisher, Laura Constable, knowing that we didn’t want to mess with a good thing. We, however, added a few new features that allowed us to showcase even more local people.

Editor’s Letter

Are you starting to feel the energy in the air? In our family, the month of May has always been busy. From celebrating Mother’s Day, my husband’s birthday and our anniversary — this year marks 42 years for us — to remembering our military service personnel over Memorial Day weekend, there has been a lot to do. And now, we’re throwing the sports schedules of two grandsons into the mix.
