If you see something please speak up!

We are asking for help from our community. There was a theft at one of our new DeLand homes last night and a few thousand dollars of tools were taken. We're still taking an inventory, but the following are what they were able to get away with: 2 dewalt impact drivers, 2 finish nailers, a brad nailer, circular saw, tool belt with hand tools, a new dewalt double tank air compressor, and other miscellaneous tools. If you know anything or see anyone trying to sell these, please contact us.

Love this idea

In honor of #MLKDayofService, we’re encouraging everyone to find a volunteer opportunity in Jackson - whether that's at the Y or another organization. When we give back, we get so much in return! #GiveBack #Community #MLK

As winter approaches, we are so grateful for your interest in donating cold weather gear to those in need! To help meet these needs, JIS partners with local organizations to make sure our clients are cared for. Rather than bringing winter items to the shelter, we ask you to redirect these to non-profits that specifically focus on providing clothing during the winter months—such as Together We Can Make A Difference and St. Vincent de Paul Jackson. Then, as needs arise at the shelter, these organizations will provide us with the items we need.

Right now, you can also donate to the Mitten & Hat Drive at the Jackson YMCA! They are accepting new cold weather gear items through October 29 for their distribution day on the 30th at their Fall into Reading event.

Thank you for your generosity in making sure those in need within our community are cared for! See the full details of the mitten and hat drive at https://bit.ly/YMCAdrive2021.

Wow! An unexpected surprise, they are installing the accessible kayak dock today. The guys say it will be in for about a month and then they will take it out to store over the winter. So bring your own kayak and come give it a try. This is a public kayak launch.

I am reaching out today with confirmation of more exciting opportunities to practice yoga coming the last week of October with the opening of Jackson School of the Arts (JSA) newly renovated building downtown (formerly Vermeulen's).

Beginning October 25, I will be leading ongoing lunchtime classes every Monday and Thursday from 12:10-12:55 PM.

Beginning October 27, our outdoor Evening Yoga in the Park class will move indoors to continue practicing each Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 PM.

All JSA classes are priced on a monthly basis, with one weekly class per month at $35 or two weekly classes per month at $50. With lots of new adult classes being added at this expanded location, you may be interested in enjoying a variety of JSA offerings. Registration and payment should be made through Jackson School of the Arts by visiting their website at https://jacksonarts.org/fitness/ or calling 517.784.2389 (you must call to receive the two-class discount).

Attached is a flyer with all of the details. Please feel free to share this information and help us get the word out about this wonderful opportunity to engage yoga and the arts in Jackson. I sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and hope to see you in class soon

🕵️ #BrightSpotsHunt DAY ONE. Here is your 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗘!

Remember, clues to each new location will consist of word problems, picture challenges, puzzles, and beyond. While knowledge of the #JacksonMI area will help, it is not necessary. Each clue will come with an optional hint, and participants may always text 866-839-8597 for extra help. Complete the hunt and all the challenges for a chance to win one of three daily prizes.

Clues will lead participants to shops, restaurants, and more across Jackson, but they will never need to enter a place of business and can complete all challenges outdoors. A smart phone, and pencil/paper may be helpful!

Presented by The Protection Center

****************************

Official Rules:

1. Clues and challenges are to be read and photographed, but participants should never take, alter, or move them from their locations.

2. Each route must be completed on the same day it is posted.

3. All challenge photos/videos must be posted by 8:00 p.m. each day and tagged with #BrightSpotsHunt.

4. When sharing your photo & video submission, ensure your post is set to public.

5. All photos/videos must be appropriate for the public (no nudity, swearing, violence, etc.)

6. Participants should have a smartphone or other data-enabled device to complete the hunt. Transportation will be necessary. Paper and pencil are recommended, but not provided. While challenges will not require physical fitness, we do recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sensible shoes due to the variety of terrains, locations, and movements.
