  • The pines are whispering to you, the faint smell of hard wood pluming from chimneys and yes, that's you....sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of downhill skiing, cross country, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or snowballs!  Boyne and Nubs Knob are just up the road, about a 7 minute drive (about 4 - 5 miles) from the condo door!
  • Maybe the idea of a good long swim in the indoor pool followed by a, Jacuzzi or a toasty sauna and a movie or book by the fireplace is more appealing!
  • Out on the town?  Harbor Springs and nearby Petoskey offer an array of excellent restaurants and shopping as well as the new (2009) Odawa Casino in Petoskey.

This is the ideal place to take the entire family, group of friends or just escape by yourself..... or maybe with someone special.

ROCHESTER AREA NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM

Rochester Area Neighborhood House is kicking off the annual Christmas event where we work to bring Christmas to the children of the families in need in our community.  There are an unprecedented number of neighbors in need this year, and you can create a special moment for a child by hosting a giving tree in your store or business or by adopting a family with your staff. 

 

If you host a giving tree, RANH will deliver gift tags to you the first part of November.  Your patrons and staff buy gifts listed on the tags by December 3rd.  On December 6th, a member of the RANH Elf Squad will pick up the gifts and take them to St. Philip's Episcopal Church where the holiday event will be held for clients to pick up their children's gifts.

 

If you choose to adopt a family, we will match your business up with a family you feel you can support with children's gifts for the holiday. 

 

These programs are guaranteed to bring the Christmas spirit into your workplace. 

Should you choose to participate in any way in the Christmas program, please contact Sharon Sutton at Rochester Area Neighborhood House at 248 651-5836 or by email at  ranhchristmas@gmail.com.

 

Your participation and support is key to the success of this program and your willingness to assist those struggling in our community is greatly appreciated.
