News and Announcements

MMPC June 2012 Meeting

Wednesday, June 6: MMPC Monthly Meeting

6:30pm to 8:30pm, First Presbyterian Church of Lansing, 510 West Ottawa Street, Lansing, Michigan 48933-1067

We have several things going this month. First, we have three members (Kim Wilcox, Jim Ward, and Rich Wyllis) doing mini-presentations. These are short (about 5-15 minutes) presentations on any topic the speaker would like to choose. It's a good opportunity for our members to show their work, and even get a little feedback.

Also, there will be a Big Cookie Competition at this meeting. The theme is "Water". Anything involving water - either indoors or outdoors.

MMPC Waterfall Weekend

Friday, June 8 to Sunday, August 10: MMPC Waterfall Weekend

From MMPC Program Director Rick Wyllis: Ok, it's official! We are set for June 8-10 in Munising. We have a block of rooms at the AmericInn. Their phone number is 1-906-387-2000. This will be our homebase for the weekend. Rooms are $65 per night for either a single king size bed or two queens. They also said that they are flexible, so if you want to go up early, or stay a couple days late, you can still get the same rate! The cutoff for making reservations is May 17th, so don't wait till the last minute. They also said that they do not charge extra for multiple adults sharing the rooms. So, if you want to make it a slumber party, you're more than welcome. Just make sure to invite me to the pillow fight that must accompany any slumber party!
