Champion grant

Monday morning, Joe Sanok, the psychologist who has been helping to create the SAIL Champion program (check out www.SAILChampion.org), MHA Board President Rich Brauer, and myself met at Old Town Coffee for some last minute prep before going next door to the United Way office. We submitted a grant proposal to UW to fund 2 weeks of the SAIL program for youth that otherwise would not be able to participate. We all felt the meeting went well, and we will know for sure in a few weeks whether we got the grant.

After the meeting, I put the final touches on the April issue of The Scuttlebutt and took it to our wonderful printer, Amy Reichard, at The Print Shop on Front Street. It will be done on Wednesday and we'll put it the mail that afternoon, so look for it in your mailbox by the end of the week.

The rest of the afternoon was spent responding to emails and crafting a letter to be included with the Michigan Schooner Festival sponsorship package. Mayor Michael Estes has preliminarily agreed to serve as the Festival's Honorary Admiral.

  1. I think the blog is a great idea! It's a wonderful way to communicate to the membership all the things that go on behind the scenes. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
