Kim and Ron Tyler of Negaunee smile as they hold some of the gifts they brought in to donate to The Mining Journal’s 2019 Cheer Club. The Cheer Club, which kicked off Nov. 29, collects unwrapped toys and gifts to be donated to local children and families in need during the holiday season. Gifts can be dropped off at The Mining Journal’s office; Range Bank locations in Marquette, Harvey and Negaunee; Thomson & Metivier PC; Gwinn Ace Hardware; Northern Michigan University Police Department; Salvation Army’s locations in Marquette and Ishpeming; and the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store. Gifts are distributed to local families through St. Vincent de Paul and The Salvation Army of Marquette County. (Journal photo by Trinity Carey)
