Our I.G.N.I.T.E. Student artists have been at it again. This year they are holding a silent auction of their drawings and the proceeds will go to Genesee County Animal Control. They were each given a black and white photo of an actual dog living at the shelter at the time and asked to draw it…. They are amazing! The drawings will be on display at our Deps and Dogs event on Saturday, so make sure to stop by and place your bid! Last year the students raised $400 for Adopt A Pet and with your help we’d like to exceed that amount this year! Here’s a preview of the photos but watch our page for a QR code to place your bids if you can’t make it in person this weekend!

Attention Parents! There is an uptick in grooming from predators.

Three tactics predators use:

1. They tap into a need.
2. They play on emotions.
3. They threaten or sextort.

Will the Genesee County uphold the Constitution, or will they be enforcing the vaccine mandates for businesses and employers?
Just thinking about those people who perished on that fateful day twenty years ago on 9/11. We will never forget!
Where were you today Swanson???

We waited for you to walk with us!
Thank you all you do for the community. School supply shopping. So awesome. 🏫🚌👩‍🏫🎒
If anyone has seen my friend Austin graubner? Please contact myself or my niece Ashley Bellman
This is Austin Graubner He was last seen going on 7 days tomorrow in Flint Michigan. If anyone sees him or has information please contact the people on the flyer. Austin Graubner if you see this please contact us and let us know your ok.
Several years ago there was a deputy named Lonnie Thomas, he was like a father figure to all the kids of Genesee County, when we grew up and moved away I kept in contact with him until I got married, I understand that he reached the rank of Lt. before he retired! Deputy Thomas was there for me and many like me it didn't matter that our skin color wasn't the same!
I was informed that he was MURDERED in his own home with his own weapon, my heart shattered that day and there is still a hole where he had a part! I was wondering if there was anyway that y'all could a story on him and post his picture from his beginning as a deputy sheriff with Genesee County and through the years until retirement?
I live in another state now but would also like to know what happened to the murderers that took his life!!
And yes, my family backs the blue and I got your 6!!
