Portland District Library Lines If you have visited the library over the years, you may remember the Michigan Activity Pass program. This allows you to use your library card to check out a pass for one of Michigan’s cultural destinations or state parks and recreation areas. The program had to take a break during quarantine, but it’s up and running again with even more destinations. Visit michiganactivitypass.info to learn more! Mind Your Beeswax: Kitchen Edition Plastic baggies and cling wrap are convenient, but they are not exactly environmentally friendly. But with some colorful fabric, beeswax, and a little bit of effort, you can make your very own reusable beeswax food wraps. Register today, and then stop by the library starting Friday, August 20 to pick up a take-and-make bag with everything you need to make three beeswax wraps. Ages 15 and up. CHILDREN’S AND TEEN STEM Club Virtual STEM Club: Investigative Crew offers young adventurers
a chance to explore the world of owl pellets. This is a great biology activity to bring nature indoors and will help you learn about the food chain and ecosystems. Sign up for your Virtual STEM Club: Investigative Crew Take-and-Make bag starting Wednesday, July 21, which is the same day the video will be posted to YouTube. This is not a live video, so the program can be done on your own time. STEM Club: Investigative Crew is recommended for ages 6-12, requires parental supervision, and is limited to 28 patrons. Nature Detectives Join us this summer for Nature Detectives, a self-led program that will get you and your family out and walking! From July 26 until August 31, follow the river trail and spot summer-themed items on the scavenger hunt list to earn a prize. Make sure to return the sheet to the library to get your prize...but, wait, there's more! You will also be entered into a drawing for our grand prize. What are you waiting for? Summer awaits!

American Red Cross Blood Drive
For many of us, July 26, 2021 was another hot Michigan summer day. The volunteers and blood donors were thankful for the air conditioned comfort at St. Anthony's Church! The American Red Cross was thankful for the 38 pints of life-saving blood. We welcomed the help of two high school trainees, Ethan and Ranae. Margaret Chadwick received her 5 gallon pin and Linda Rutz received her 14 gallon pin! Micheal Barker and Walter Ingvartsen were Double Red donors. We hope everyone stays healthy and hydrated for our September 20th blood drive. Appointments will still be required.
Thank You
To our Saranac Community, Once again you have played a big role in making our “Second Time Around Sale” a great success. Through your generous spirit, we were able to, as part of our outreach ministry, help three areas in need of assistance: City Covenant Church in Detroit, a church plant in Grand Rapids and SCC’s Dominican Republic Mission team. We are truly thankful for your generosity. Also, many thanks, yet again to, The Shoppers Guide for their support and for the most excellent ad illustrating our sale. Finally, if anyone is interested in details of our ministries, we would be happy to meet with you. With Sincere Thanks and Blessings,
Saranac Community Church
