I once carried a woman from across Woodward Ave into the old Gnome Restaurant. “Just like this!” I subma- rined my arms, to show how I did it. And then nearly dropped her on the bar floor. “It was back during Super Bowl 16, when Cris Collingsworth was playing for the Bengals, and I was a lot stronger,” I explained.
Co-Owners:
October is Eat Together Month and October 16 is World Food Day. Food is a centerpiece of many aspects of American culture. Families should
eat together as when they do, meals are more likely to be more nutritious. People who eat regularly with their families are less likely to snack on unhealthy foods and are more likely to eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Beyond health and nutrition, meals provide a valuable opportunity for family and friends to reconnect.

For those with difficulties cooking nutritious foods or eating with a com- munity, there are several programs available in Calhoun County. Meals on Wheels provides healthy meals to homebound individuals. However, this
It’s important to stay involved and updated on what's happening in state government. To keep up to date, you can visit my website at housedems. com/jim-haadsma/ or follow me on Facebook @HouseJimH. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or need help navigating a state govern- ment program, please reach out to me. You can email me at jimhaadsma@ house.mi.gov or call my office at (517) 373-0555. On the first Saturday of each month, I do open coffee hours at Mr. Don's in Springfield from 9-11am and at Stirling Books and Brew in Albion from 1-2:30pm.

I’d also like to bring attention to the fine work of local senior centers and the Calhoun County’s senior millage. Senior centers provide a treasure trove of resources for seniors and individu- als with disabilities. Providing a space for seniors to enjoy a meal together and reconnect is a great service to our community.
