Help us raise $205,000
for vital health and human services in Manistee County.
United Way of
Manistee County announces the kick-off of its annual fundraising
campaign, which will be chaired by Manistee Fire Department Chief
Sid Scrimger. The organization hopes to raise $205,000 this year for
vital health and human services in Manistee County.
Two events,
sponsored by Blarney Castle, Lake Osceola State Bank, National City
Bank, Northwestern Bank and West Shore Bank, will jumpstart the
campaign.
A community-wide
kick-off breakfast will be held at Manistee Golf and Country Club on
Friday, September 7, beginning at 7:30 a.m. Learn how United Way’s
initiatives and its network of vital health and human service
agencies make lasting change in our community. Make breakfast
reservations by contacting 723-2331 or
jquinn@uwmanistee.org.
The campaign heats up the following day, Saturday, September
8, with the seventh annual Oldies 101.5 Chili
Cook-Off. The county’s finest chili chefs, both professional and
amateur, will serve up their specialties from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at the
historic First Street Firehouse in Manistee. Last year’s crowd
pleasers, All Strung Out and Gettin’ Hammered with Monica and
Monte Klein, will once again provide the entertainment for the
event. Unlimited tasting is available for $6 at the door. Prizes
will be awarded in professional and amateur divisions for best
tasting chili, hottest chili and best presentation. If you’d like to
enter your chili, contact 723-2331 or
