Julie Bailey of Great Lakes Energy will explain how her company’s subsidiary, TrueStream, is bringing the internet to rural areas across northwest Michigan and how it is changing rural life.
The attendance fee includes a buffet lunch beginning at 11:30 am. Note: At this time, masks will be required when inside NCMC facilities. Click HERE to register.

Meet Daisy Girl! Daisy was a recent surrender due to her not
getting along with the other dogs in the home. She is about 11
months old and is looking for her forever home! She is a little
choosy with her canine friends, but does get along with some
of them especially if they are pretty chill. Since she is a hound
mix and has lots of energy, cats probably wouldn’t be a good fit.
