Happy Friday!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the beautiful weather these past few days. Thank you for reading.
This week marked one year since Michigan’s first coronavirus cases were confirmed. It’s hard to believe that much time has passed. Remember when people thought life would only be interrupted for a month or two?
Here in Ann Arbor, Michigan Medicine began treating patients right as cases were detected. One of those first cases was Paul DeWyse U-M’s first official COVID patient. In a recent interview with the health system, he recalls turning on the TV in his isolation room and seeing news reporters gathered outside the hospital talking about his case. He said he is grateful to be alive, having received a double lung transplant in 2018. Watch that interview here.

ANN ARBOR – What do you get when you blend American comfort food with authentic Korean cuisine?
A one-of-a-kind pop-up at Miss Kim and it’s happening weekly.
Chef Ji Hye Kim, who has been hosting pop-ups with other chefs during the pandemic, is partnering with Lala’s chef Allie Lyttle throughout the month of March to bring locals an epic brunch featuring items like Korean Poutine and Breakfast Bao.
The pair, who met when they were line cooks at Zingerman’s Roadhouse, hope to continue the pop-up through April.

Good morning!
A day after International Women’s Day, I’d like to highlight some women who have been making a major impact locally. Whether it be through nonprofit work, lending their eye and skills to some of the coolest spaces in town or simple acts of kindness, here are six women who have left their mark on the community in more ways than one.
Eileen Spring
President and CEO of Food Gatherers, Spring was named United Way of Washtenaw County’s Woman of the Year for her work in alleviating hunger when the pandemic caused local need to skyrocket. “We have never seen anything like it,” Spring said in October.
