The Alpena Boys and Girls Club has received a food/activity grant from Banner Realty.
The Club’s mission is “To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.”
In celebration of 30 years in business, Banner Realty, Margie Haaxma, Broker, is providing a grant that will assist in the need for delivered meals and resources. In 2020 there were over 18,000 meals and food resources supplied to individuals and families through the Alpena Club. The Club incurs a large expense each year to supplement the food program to over 1,200 youth and their families with both on-site and mobile meals. Besides food; extra resources such as activities and projects to help with education and entertain the children during COVID-19 are being distributed. The activity kits include family board games, schools supplies and educational tools and more.
Austin Chamber of Commerce SVP of Economic Development Charisse Bodish argues Texas’ ‘business-friendly environment’ is what makes the state so appealing.
AUSTIN, Texas—A few years ago, some blocks of Austin’s South Congress Avenue featured a castle-themed wax museum and comic book shop, a neighborhood bar with $1 taco deals, an auto shop and, in season, a Santa Claus on horseback.
Then, as at so many other places in Austin, the construction cranes came.
Those blocks recently reopened with a strip of modern urban buildings with shops offering national brands from Lululemon to Le Labo perfumes. The $2,000+ private membership club Soho House and an Hermès store are on the way. Office tenants include accounting and consulting firm Deloitte and private-equity firm Tritium Partners LLC.
