Luncheon Lectures; Where are the babies?
October 4
11:30am
Twenty years ago, there were two births in our community for every death. Today, deaths outnumber births. Many other major changes are taking place locally and statewide. If our community’s destiny is tied to our demographics, we need to understand these changes and what they will mean for our future and our families. Eric Guthrie, state demographer in Michigan’s Bureau of Labor Market Information & Strategic Initiatives in the Department of Technology, Management & Budget, comes from Lansing with the numbers to show us how Michigan has changed and where we are likely headed.
Reservations are required. Call 231-348-6600 or email
luncheonlectures@ncmich.edu
to reserve your place at the table. Cost is $12 (cash or check only – at door) and includes lunch.
