5th Annual 'Giving Hope' Fundraiser Deemed a Success

The Canton Community Foundation and Giving Hope Women's Giving Circle "pass the purse" to help others.

Today, Giving Hope, which is run by the Canton Community Foundation, raises money for charity with "pass the purse" events, including its annual meeting Wednesday at Village Theater at Cherry Hill. In addition to cash, the women brought donations of shampoo and other personal care items. Final figures for Wednesday's meeting weren't available yet Friday, but through the years, the women have helped fund Open Door Ministry's food bank; First Step, First Step, which aids victims of sexual assault and domestic violence; Oakwood Healthcare System …

Consumer Expo Showcases 35 Canton Businesses

Canton Chamber of Commerce Consumer Expo "enjoyable," exhibitors say.

Denise Staffeld of Canton, a mortgage lender with Huntington Bank, managed to combine work and play at Canton Chamber of Commerce's fall consumer expo, on Thursday evening at Summit on the Park. She used part of Huntington Bank's booth to promote a community theater show, Music Man, currently playing at Village Theater at Cherry Hill. Staffeld plays Maud, a minor character. And she wore Maud's big-brimmed hat while talking to booth visitors. Staffeld said she's delighted that Huntington Bank has a role in the play, too — Huntington Bank has been around for nearly 150 years, she said, so it makes perfect sense in a play set in 1912.

'Objects of Desire' Show Provocative

Village Theater at Cherry Hill showcases works by Ann Arbor artist Michael Griffin.

Suzie Phillips attended Tuesday's opening reception for artist Michael Griffin's Objects of Desire show at the Village Theater of Cherry Hill for two reasons. She said Griffin is a genius and she likes the muted colors he uses. Another fan of the artist at the reception, Donna Jackson, said his images are "thought provoking and I like to stare at them to figure out what is going on in Mike’s head." Griffin, of Ann Arbor, said four themes are present in Objects of Desire: human form, farm animals, surrealistic landscapes and skeletal imagery. "The body represents love and desire; the animals represent sustenance and pleasure," said Griffin. "The realist landscapes are the life of the soul and the mind, the skull imagery is about eternity. …
