SURVEY ASKS NORTHWEST MICHIGAN RESIDENTS FOR INPUT ON RECYCLING SERVICES
TRAVERSE CITY, MI – Residents in Northwest Lower Michigan are being asked to provide their input on recycling access and infrastructure. The online survey will help to identify gaps and inform improvements residents would like to see in the future.
The survey is funded through a grant from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to help counties understand current material management deficiencies and highlight opportunities for improvement. Networks Northwest, a non-government organization facilitating various programs to build stronger communities in Northwest Michigan, is managing the survey effort.
"As the state pivots from ensuring landfill capacity and toward increasing sustainable materials management, it is important to gather feedback from residents," said Mathew Cooke, Community Planner with Networks Northwest. "Understanding the current recycling situation will help to identify the gaps that need to be filled to increase recycling and material recovery in Northwest Michigan."
The Northwest Michigan counties participating in the survey include Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee, and Wexford.
Residents are asked to complete the survey by December 22, 2022. Link to the survey: https://resourcerecycling.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3RkCnjt88HHCi7s

LEGACY OF AN ARTIST IS A TRUE GIFT FOR ALL
“Gift of a Lifetime” Exhibit - December 9 - 31, 2022
We all think about the existential question of how we will be remembered when our life comes to an end. For artists, especially visual artists, legacy is a reward inherent in their profession. Their work continues to give joy, expound beauty, enhance aesthetics, lead us to introspection, inspire our own creativity, and release our emotions long after the artist has passed. The late local artist, Joani Braun, was keen to the spirit of giving gifts—often spontaneous and quirky but always from the heart—long before her passing last December. >>Read More

Friday, December16th Doors open at 6, show at 7
Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door
www.lakeeffectskifilm.com
Come celebrate winter with local professional skier Mike King to watch the hometown debut of his Film Lake Effect. Lake Effect is a two-year ski film project highlighting the joys of backyard adventure, and the shifting perspective of Mike, who for a decade has only sought adventure from the peaks of mountain tops in the far reaches of the west. In 2020 when Covid encouraged lockdowns & travel restrictions, Mike's life on the road came to a screeching halt. This abrupt change inspired Mike to take the hurdle as an opportunity to reconnect with the unique, untapped terrain, ski culture, and the people that were thriving right here in his home state of Michigan. Throughout filming Lake Effect Mike realized you don't need to travel far to have an epic adventure. Rather some creativity, curiosity, and the willingness to just walk out the door to the abundance that starts right in our backyards.
The night will be one to remember, there will be product giveaways, poster signing, and a guest video showing from the local skiers at Holiday. We hope to see you there!
