DESCRIPTION:This year\, Bloom Credit Union\, Grow and the People First Economy’s Local First program are partnering for this month’s Local First regular Coffee Hour event\, powered by Bloom Credit Union. Our Coffee Hour events will now offer an opportunity for businesses participating in services from both Grow and Local First to mix during the month of July. And you’re invited! You’re guaranteed to have great\, local coffee and we encourage you to come create organic community connection with participating businesses. \nJoin People First Economy at our upcoming Coffee Hour\, where we’re empowering entrepreneurs to grow further in connection and community. \nWhat is a CDFI? CDFIs promote financial inclusion and economic development among communities who’ve experienced the discriminatory practices of traditional financing. Our focus is local\, and we support the historically underserved. Our motive is not pure profit; we work purposefully toward a more equitable\, accessible\, and just economy. \nCDFI’s deploy loans to support business owners which leads to greater community impact. Examples include jobs created\, jobs retained and an increase to business owners’ net asset. \nHost Highlight: Mercadito is a place to enjoy a fun snack or dessert inspired by street food and market signature creations from all over Mexico! We are a welcoming space for friends\, families and neighbors\, specializing in different kinds of Tamales and hot beverages such as atole and champurrado. This will be a year-round destination with featured ice cream creations in the summer! \nSafety expectations: We’d like to continue meeting monthly\, in-person for our Coffee Hour events. To safely do so\, event attendees are expected to adhere to current CDC recommendations. Masks are optional and we have developed a sticker system to identify attendees’ comfort levels. Changes to this protocol will be made when/if necessary. \nWe hope you’ll join us for good coffee and even better conversation! \nAssociated Business: Mercadito Mexican Eats & Treats!

SUMMARY:Princess Mononoke: Studio Ghibli Fest 2024 (Fathom Event)
DESCRIPTION:A beautifully realized tale of civilization versus nature\, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a true epic by Japan’s master animator Hayao Miyazaki. While protecting his village from a rampaging boar-god\, the young warrior Ashitaka becomes afflicted with a deadly curse. To find the cure that will save his life\, he journeys deep into the sacred depths of the Great Forest Spirit’s realm where he meets San (Princess Mononoke)\, a girl raised by wolves. It’s not long before Ashitaka is caught in the middle of a battle between iron-ore prospecting humans and the forest dwellers. He must summon the spirit-powers and all his courage to stop man and nature from destroying each other. One of Miyazaki’s most dark and mature films and certainly violent\, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a fantasy epic with a dire environmental message. The end result is almost Kurosawa-Esque in story and structure. Whilst initial box-office was poor in the West\, eventually became Studio Ghibli’s breakthrough film off the back of home video sales.\n\nPlaying on 7/13 – 7/17 at:\nCelebration NorthCelebration SouthCelebration LansingCelebration CarouselCelebration RivertownCelebration Crossroads\nAssociated Business: Celebration Cinema

SUMMARY:Dino Adventures
DESCRIPTION:New for 2024\, something BIG is coming to John Ball Zoo! That roar you hear in the distance may sound a little different than the Lion or Tiger you normally hear during your visit. It’s a dinosaur! Starting in July\, over 20 life-size dinosaurs will make their way to the Zoo’s Forest Realm during Dino Adventures. Hiding in the forest\, guests may encounter a Velociraptor\, a Triceratops\, and even a T-Rex! These large and scientifically accurate animatronic dinosaurs will display real behaviors\, such as mothering\, feeding\, preying\, and more. Interactive elements like a fossil dig pit and T-Rex photo op will engage guests by providing a hands-on experience.   \nJoin as we journey through the ages\, uncovering how the traits of prehistoric dinosaurs have influenced the animals we see today. Through this interactive exhibit we’ll come together to celebrate our living world and the significance of conservation. During Dino Adventures\, John Ball Zoo will aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world\, its history\, and the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect both living species and those yet to come. The Zoo will be transformed with life sized dinosaur replica robots that make noise and move. Guests can embark on a dino safari through the Zoo’s Forest Realm and learn about the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth.
