NMU Hockey Meet & Greet at Jacobetti – Sponsored by Lake Superior Hospice
MARQUETTE — Veterans in Marquette spent some time on Saturday with a bit of a younger generation: the NMU Wildcat Hockey Team. They spent time getting to know the veterans at the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans.
The players autographed their season schedules for the veterans and talked about things ranging from hockey to living in Marquette to fighting in wars.
“It was pretty cool to talk to a couple of them and just see where they came from, their roots,” said Team Captain Justin Florek. “I talked to a couple people who said they played hockey back in the ’40s, and it’s just really cool that they love hockey. They come to our games every now and then, and it’s really special to be here for them.”
Lake Superior Hospice helped organize the event.

“After Suicide Community Drop-In” – an opportunity for conversation, coffee and grief support
Marquette— Lake Superior Hospice wants to make sure that those in the local community who have faced, or are facing loss due to suicide have a safe and supportive environment to share their grief.
Losing someone to suicide is not easy. Lake Superior Hospice wants the community to know that there is help. Following the suicide of a community member we are aware that family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others may have concerns. Some may worry or have trouble processing thoughts and feelings. If you or someone you know has been affected by a recent loss in our community, we invite you and encourage you to stop by our office. Referral sources for additional support will be available.
The Lake Superior Hospice – Bereavement Program would like to extend an invitation to the “After Suicide Community Drop-In” – an opportunity for conversation, coffee and grief support.
The event is free of charge and open to the community at-large. It will be held at the
Lake Superior Hospice office at 914 W. Baraga Avenue on Wednesday, October 12 from 4-6pm.
