Last year, the readers of this great publication were invited “Inside the Mind of a Sportsaholic”. While in there, ladies were given some thoughts on how to “Think Like A Sports Fan”. Parents, coaches, and student-athletes received “Tips For A Successful Season”. Readers were even introduced to “My Three Girls”.

This year’s program will be held in East Lansing at the Hannah Community Center

 

LANSING, MI — The Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ) along with Sinas Dramis, PC, and Wayne State Law School, will host the People’s Law School starting on September 10th.  This seven-week program is open to the community and provides an opportunity for non-lawyers to learn about the legal system. The People’s Law School faculty includes judges, elected officials, seasoned attorneys and law professors

DETROIT, MI — The highly anticipated theatrical production “Good Timing” is hitting the Adray Auditorium on the campus of Henry Ford Community College on September 14, 2013. “Good Timing”  is centered around the 1970’s sitcom “Good Times” with a modern twist. Memorable episodes from the series are portrayed throughout the play but in a more updated scenario. The characters are portrayed the same even though the names have slightly changed due to trademark acknowledgement. This hilarious show will completely captivate the audience as they reminisce and enjoy the parody of the popular series! With an all-star cast this show is a must see!
