Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner and a silent auction, followed by the program at 6:45. Tickets are $20.

Teen Health Clinic Services On Hold

Services at the St. Clair County Teen Health Clinic on the Port Huron High School campus paused on Monday. County health officials say the move follows recent concerns discussed at a commissioners meeting. During the pause, students needing urgent care can visit the main Health Department at 220 Fort Street in Port Huron. Routine visits will be rescheduled. Health leaders, including Dr. Remington Nevin, say the break allows time for a full review to make sure all services meet safety and legal standards before reopening.
