Michigan Council For Corporations
by Director 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Happy Monday everyone, I just received an official looking letter in the mail from the Michigan Council for Corporations. I just wanted to let anyone who is thinking of sending money that these people are running a scam. http://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-10573_11472-295672--,00.html The link is from 2013 and it is for a similar scam that was run back then. The information at the bottom of the page for reporting the scam to the postal service and/or the Michigan Attorney General is still good. -- Jolene Michaels, Director Mackinaw Area Public Library 528 W.

special election
by Melissa Malcolm 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Hi all-- The library board has chosen a site for a new building and we will be purchasing the vacant lot from the city soon. Momentum is high as the local paper is giving our building project front page coverage. We need a bond vote to fund the building. Alas, Lapeer County has no general elections in 2017. Some of us hate the thought of waiting almost two years for a vote. We cover twelve townships and a city so a special election would not be cheap. Has any of you ever held a special election for a bond vote to fund a new building? Was there negative feedback? Did the vote go in your favor? Thanks so much for your feedback. melissa -- Melissa A.
