Hey, sports fans! "Great Teams, Great Players, Great Coaches" is the theme of the BERRIEN COUNTY HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION'S upcoming exhibit (now through January) at Orchards Mall in Benton Harbor.
The exhibit will trace the history of high school basketball in Berrien County, so come and volunteer as a family to host the exhibit, greet visitors and learn some exciting sports information about our area.
Shift choices are Monday through Saturday from 12 noon-4 p.m. or 4-8 p.m. Sundays, you could volunteer from noon to 3 or from 3-6 p.m.
If you can work one or more of these shifts, please call the Volunteer Center and we will get you started!

Generosity knows no season, but this is the time of year that we all remember that the best gifts don't come wrapped in ribbons and paper. They are gifts of the heart whose value is priceless to those who receive them.
Your time is a gift. Your energy is a gift. Consider giving that kind of gift this year to your loved ones, your neighbors and your community.
THE BERRIEN COUNTY CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS reports that Berrien County residents use more blood products that we donate. Let's change that!
The next Blood drive will be: Friday, Dec. 30 at Zion United Church of Christ, Veronica Ct., St. Joseph from noon to 5:45 p.m.
Be there!

To connect, call the Volunteer Center.
