While reviewing our posts and articles over this last year, we felt like the photos from last year’s Chair give-away deserved a little more attention. Another thank you and expression of appreciation to everyone that nominated a senior to receive a new power chair and helped coordinate the delivery and set-up. Stay tuned to learn about this year’s event by MSC Community, the non-profit arm of Managed Senior Care.

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park will be one of the satellite venues hosting ArtPrize from Sept. 16-Oct. 3.
Virginia Lee Montgomery’s Sword in the Sphinx sculpture will be on display for the ArtPrize competition, which allows artists from all over the world to showcase their artwork throughout the Grand Rapids area and compete for up to $250,000 in juried awards and prizes.
If you are interested in visiting the Gardens please call the office and request the Company Pass. We have a membership that provides 10 admission tickets. You will need to have the pass and your employee badge with you to get in. Please make use of the pass, it is here for you.
The ArtPrize exhibition areas will be free to the public during regular Meijer Gardens hours, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday and Wednesday-Saturday; 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday; and 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on Tuesday. All other areas will require an admission ticket.
On Thursday, July 1, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced a new initiative to get roughly 700,000 more residents vaccinated against COVID-19 by giving away a total of $5 million through the state's vaccine lottery. If you actually needed another reason to get vaccinated here it is. The best news is that even those that already received the vaccine are eligible for the prize money.
You have to be registered to be eligible for any of the above prizes. Just getting the vaccine does not make you eligible for the Michigan COVID-19 vaccine lottery.
To get registered, go to mishottowin.com and click register now.
Once there, you'll have to fill out fields that include your legal name, address, contact information, and your vaccination dates - so be sure to have your vaccination card.
The $1 million will be eligible for the people who receive their vaccine before July 10, 2021. That drawing is expected to take place the next day, on July 11, 2021. The $2 million prize will be selected among residents who have been vaccinated since Dec. 1, 2020, through July 30, 2021. That prize drawing will take place on or about August 4, 2021.
The possible prize makes for some fun day dreaming this summer. And while you are registering for the vaccine lottery, don’t forget to send us a photo of your card. We need to make sure your records are accurate and we also send you a little thank you.
