Calling All Pet Lovers!

So, it's that time of year again...we are asking you to send us photos of your fur children for our annual People and their Pets feature coming up in the August 2011 issue (We know it seems far off, but we can only include so many pet pictures, so the sooner we get them, the better your chances of getting your Fido included!). It doesn't matter if they're dogs, cats, birds, etc -- we would like to include them.

Please send your photos (along with the Pets name, and if there's a human in the photo his/her name too; and what city you live in -- that helps us figure out in which local edition to include the photo) to us at info@stylemg.com.


We can't wait to see your adorable pets!

Mercy Hospital of Folsom Expands!

We are excited the Mercy Hospital of Folsom marked the completion of the hospital’s new 21-bed all private room Progressive Care Unit (PCU), which increases the hospital’s bed capacity by 25 percent. Patients treated in the hospital’s PCU will require less than intensive care, but more monitoring and nursing care than is available in the general acute care unit. Congrats to all those involved with the completion!

The unit has been designed to provide a comfortable healing environment with warm earth tones and beautiful artwork.

Each room features new technology with an electronic medical record system, which enables clinical staff to monitor the patient’s progress while in his/her room.

Italian Picnic and Parade!

Who doesn't love a good parade? And this coming weekend, one in Sutter Creek put on by the Italian Benevolent Society is turning 130 this year.

Friday night is kids’ night and Saturday is the Italian dinner at 6 p.m. The Grand Parade will be in downtown Sutter Creek on Sunday at 10:30 am. Bocce Tournament Sunday afternoon for the truly hard core!
