SUMMARY:Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, \nIshpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \n  \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers\, a six-week in-person workshop\, designed for the non-professional\, informal family caregiver\, will be held on Thursdays\, August 13 through September 17\, 2026\, from 1:30-3:00 pm EST\, at the Ishpeming Senior Center\, 121 Greenwood Street\, Ishpeming.  \nResearch studies find high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers and increased vulnerability to health problems. Caregivers frequently cite restriction of personal activities and social life as problems. In addition\, caregivers often feel a lack of control over events and a sense of powerlessness which can have a significant negative impact on their physical and emotional health. The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation\, make tough decisions\, reduce guilt\, anger and depression\, communicate effectively\, set goals and problem solve\, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the workshop whether they are helping a parent\, spouse\, or friend living at home\, in long-term care or across the country. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver\, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving. \nPowerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Lake Superior Life Care and Hospice. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is required. Class size is limited. \nTo register\, visit www.upcap.org (click on Events) or call 2-1-1 Monday through Friday\, 8 am to 4 pm for assistance. Registration ends when the class is full or on August 3. \n

SUMMARY:Celebrate the Unveiling of the Big Annie Statue
DESCRIPTION:The community is invited to a historic celebration on August 22nd\, when the Big Annie statue will be officially unveiled and dedicated in downtown Calumet. The free\, family-friendly event will take place from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. and will celebrate the life and legacy of Anna Klobuchar Clemec\, affectionately known as “Big Annie.” \n\nThe celebration will begin at 3:00 p.m. with a parade down 5th Street\, followed by the dedication ceremony at Calumet Greenspace Park. Community members can also enjoy live music\, free ice cream\, and face painting. The celebration will mark the unveiling and dedication of a new statue commemorating Big Annie’s life and legacy. \n\nThe statue honors Anna Klobuchar Clemenc (1888–1956)\, affectionately known as “Big Annie\,” a labor activist and leader during the 1913 Copper Strike. Her courage\, determination\, and advocacy for workers’ rights made her one of the most notable figures of an important chapter in both Keweenaw and American labor history. \n\nThe Big Annie Statue Fund reached its fundraising goal earlier this year thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors\, businesses\, organizations\, and supporters from across the country. The unveiling celebrates not only the completion of the statue\, but also the community-wide effort that made it possible. \nTeam Big Annie and the Keweenaw Community Foundation extend their sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make this vision a reality. Special thanks are also extended to the Village of Calumet for its partnership in providing a permanent home for the statue. The Village’s support has helped ensure that Big Annie’s legacy will be honored and accessible at the heart of the community she helped shape. \n\nThe dedication is also a part of Michigan’s commemoration of America’s 250th Anniversary. The Big Annie Statue Project was honored to receive an AMERICA250MI History Grant\, helping support the creation of this important public monument honoring individuals who shaped our nation’s story. \nCommunity members of all ages are encouraged to attend this historic celebration and help commemorate Big Annie’s life\, leadership\, and legacy. \n\nFor more information about the Big Annie Statue Fund and project\, visit the Keweenaw Community Foundation website: https://www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/big-annie-
