The winner was Lois LaMacchia of Jackson Township. They took the raffle with them all year to various fairs and festivals, including the Great Big Home and Garden Show in Cleveland and county fairs across Northeast Ohio. The company held a year-long raffle starting with last year’s Senior Health and Wellness Day at the Jackson YMCA. One of the big events of this year’s event was the naming and awarding the winner of the JR Bath raffle for a new shower/tub remodel. Some of the new vendors we have this year include Southern Care Hospice, Canton Regency, Mata Mediterranean Grill, Home Instead Senior Care, Briar Creek Lodge and Greenview Assisted Living.' “We try to offer a variety of activities and games with prizes to try to make our event just a bit different than other health fairs. “The event is open to seniors from around the area,” said Sue McFarland, senior programmer at David YMCA.

The event usually draws more than 200 local seniors who enjoy a free lunch (provided this year by Bethany Nursing Home), exercise, health screenings, local health care vendors and plenty of socialization and good times. The David YMCA in Jackson Township held its 8th annual Senior Health and Wellness Day on May 10. Even though these businesses have the right to post no firearms allowed signs, it does NOT mean that they are “gun free environments” as criminals intent on robbery, or worse, will continue to be armed.JACKSON TWP. “No-Guns” signs simply mean that criminals have a lot less to worry about and may even be emboldened to commit armed criminal acts in these so-called “gun free environments”.Īlthough most businesses in Michigan have chosen not to post discriminatory signs against concealed pistol license holders, some have.

This policy of denying Michigan’s most upstanding and law abiding men and women the right to resist criminal attack while shopping or doing business does not create a safe environment, as only law-abiding citizens will obey their signs.

Certain businesses in Michigan have either posted no-guns ‘signs’ or have indicated in their business policy that persons lawfully licensed to carry concealed firearms for self defense are not welcome on their property or within their place of business.
