Boyne Chamber Launching
Newsletter for Chamber Members
A new service is coming to our Chamber Members in 2021 with the launch of the "Member Direct" Newsletter.
This e-newsletter will be specific to members with information that pertains to businesses only. This will include information on Boyne Area Chamber member benefits, upcoming educational opportunities, funding sources, employment information, legislative updates, and other relevant items. We anticipate this to be a monthly publication however, we will use it to get time sensitive information out when necessary.
Chamber members will automatically receive the Member Direct e-newsletter with the email address we have on file. If you would like to add additional staff to receive it, or want to make sure your email is correct in our system, just email info@boynechamber.

Celebrate all that is Chocolate at Chocolate Covered Boyne
February 12 & 13
There are many reasons to spend the day in Boyne City, but nothing as sweet as chocolate indulgences throughout downtown. This is your chance to experience chocolate desserts and specials at participating businesses on February 12 & 13 during regular business hours, in celebration of Valentine’s Day.
Spend the day shopping in downtown’s unique shops and then get a dessert to take home with you from one of the many eateries. While the public dessert contest will not be able to be held this year, due to COVID-19, restaurants will be offering special desserts. Be sure to add a dessert when calling to order a to-go meal. A judged portion will still take place, with the winner announced on the Boyne City Main Street social media and in the weekly newsletter.

Electric Vehicle Charging now available in Downtown Boyne City
The first of two new phase 2 electric vehicle charging stations in downtown Boyne City became active for public use on Saturday, January 23, 2021. The new charging station, which can handle two vehicles at once, is located next to the ‘Red’ building at 214 Ray Street in the northeast corner of the parking lot north of the Boyne District Library, near the South Park and Ray Street intersection.
A second downtown charging station is currently under construction at the northeast corner of Old City Park on River Street just west of East Street and the Consumers Energy building. It is anticipated that the second station will be operational by the end of February.
Both of these charging stations are owned and operated by Hage Automotive of Detroit at no charge to the City and are part of a statewide system of charging stations available to the public. The network is being created as part of collaborative effort involving Hage Automotive, Consumers Energy, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and local partners like Boyne City. The charger next to the red building came about after as a successful grant application was filed by Mike Castiglione, owner of nearby Stiggs Brewery and Kitchen, with Consumers Energy. The City received a grant from Consumers Energy for the Old City Park location.
The HAGE automotive locations in Boyne currently charge $0.29 per kwh while another charger operated by Great Lakes Energy is available at no charge. The Great Lakes Energy charger is located east of downtown in their headquarters parking lot at 100 Air Industrial Park Drive, off M-75 South. All of these locations use the J-1772 connection.
More information is available on these sites, and many more, on-line at sites like www.plugshare.com
Photo caption: #1) Present for the activation of the first downtown Boyne City electric vehicle charging station at 214 Ray Street are: Mike Castiglione of Stiggs, Abass El-Hage, Owner and Kevin Kardel, COO of Hage Automotive and City Manager Michael Cain.
#2) A Tesla driver checks out the new downtown Boyne City electric vehicle charging station. Present are (from left) City Manager Michael Cain, Mike Castiglione of Stiggs the driver’s son Miles and the driver, Chad Muma. The Tesla is owned by Boyne City resident Howard Newkirk.

NORTH CENTRAL MICHIGAN COLLEGE...
NORTH CENTRAL LAUNCHES BUILDING TOMORROW TOGETHER CAMPAIGN WITH VIRTUAL EVENT
Watch live on North Central's Facebook page January 28 at 4 p.m.
Since North Central’s Administration/Classroom Building opened in 1967, thousands of students have passed through its doors on their way to an associate degree and the next step of their career or college journey. Now, one of the oldest and busiest buildings on NCMC’s campus is undergoing a historic addition and renovation to better prepare students for success in a technology-driven world. The Building Tomorrow Together campaign, a $9.9 million investment in the college’s facilities, technology, and student resources, will kick off with a virtual launch party at 4 p.m. on January 28. The free event will be livestreamed on North Central’s Facebook page, and the public is invited to attend. Preregistration is required at https://ncmcfutures.eventbrite.com.
The launch party, which is themed “Futures Start Here,” will include a keynote address from Kalin Sheick, TV personality and owner of Petoskey-based Sweetwater Floral company. North Central team members Kim Dickinson and Scott LaDeur will host the hour-long event, which will feature North Central trivia and more than $500 in prizes for attendees. Petoskey entrepreneurs Ben Slocum and Pete Manthei, NCMC alumni who founded Beards Brewery in 2012, will share how their experience at North Central helped pave their path to success.
North Central President David Roland Finley said the launch event will capture the excitement on campus as new classrooms and student gathering spaces near completion.
“This project is critical because it puts students’ needs front and center,” Finley said. “Adaptable teaching and learning environments will provide flexibility and an improved classroom experience, and centralized access to student support services means that academic advising and career counseling are just steps away from our busiest classrooms.”
The Building Tomorrow Together campaign will culminate with an August 2021 ribbon-cutting event, when the Administration/Classroom Building will be formally reintroduced as the Borra Learning Center, named in recognition of lead donors Pier C. and Renee Borra.
“Through this campaign, we have an opportunity to strengthen and grow a longstanding community institution that is unique to Northern Michigan and greatly enhances the quality of life for everyone,” Pier Borra said.
North Central Michigan College is an open-door community college based in Petoskey, with additional locations offering classes and services in Cheboygan and Gaylord. North Central’s mission is to provide exceptional, accessible, relevant higher education of and for the community. North Central is an Achieving the Dream Leader College with a designation of Veteran Friendly Silver by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency.

Michigan’s distribution of the vaccine continues in a phased approach with an emphasis on ensuring the continuing functioning of the health care system and essential services in the community, and protecting people at increased risk for severe COVID-19 illness.

Vaccination in one phase may not be complete before vaccination in another phase begins and will likely overlap.

New Boyne City City Clerk / City Treasurer Sworn In
The Boyne City City Commission, at their January 12th regular City Commission meeting, confirmed City Manager Michael Cain’s appointment of Caroline Kennedy as Boyne City’s new City Clerk / City Treasurer. Ms. Kennedy was sworn in to her new position at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 15th by outgoing City Clerk / City Treasurer Cindy Grice shortly before ending her last day with Boyne City after over thirty-five years of service to the Boyne community.
The City Clerk / City Treasurer position was posted internally and advertised in July of 2020. Ms. Kennedy was selected out of pool of nine applicants for the position. Panel interviews were conducted with three of the applicants. The interview panel consisted of Kim Awry, then Gaylord Assistant City Manager/City Clerk (now City Manager); Tom Cannon, East Jordan City Administrator; Allen Terry, City Clerk/Treasurer/Finance Director for the City of Petoskey and Boyne City City Manager Michael Cain. The three candidates also met with members of the Boyne City office team.
Ms. Kennedy has extensive experience working in and with local governments, most recently as the Assistant Village Manager and Village Clerk for the Village of Elk Rapids. She had previously provided local government training to members of the Boyne City City Commission and staff during her long tenure with the Michigan Municipal League.
Since October Ms. Kennedy has been working with the City getting training on her new roll with Boyne City, including helping with the recent Presidential election.
Ms. Kennedy will receive salary of $65,500 per year in addition to other standard City benefits

Thank you to our generous community for reaching the goal of raising $50,000 for the Boyne Forest Trail System expansion. This amount will be matched by a grant from the MEDC, providing $100,000 to hire professional trail builder Flowtrack from Marquette to begin the new trails this spring.
While we have met our Patronicity fundraising goal, TOMMBA needs your help to raise an additional $19,000 to build all of the planned features in the green loop and potentially more trails in phase 1 of this expansion project. Hitting this goal will connect the newly constructed trail-head parking lot on Old Horton Bay Rd to the existing Boyne Forest Trails. Your help will have us riding new trails by this summer!!
Make your tax-deductible donation today directly to TOMMBA via their website: www.tommba.org or via check to: TOMMBA, PO Box 112, Boyne City, 49712.
Thank you for helping us continue to build trails and our Boyne Community!
