Good Morning, The Michigan Activity Pass stats for June, 2019 are now available at [ https://tln.lib.mi.us/map/stats/ | https://tln.lib.mi.us/map/stats/ ] The most popular MAP destination in June was Howell Conference and Nature Center. They have been a MAP partner since the program started in 2007 and I believe this is the first month they have come out on top. Good for them! Yankee Air Museum was second, followed by Belle Isle Park. If you are awake in the early a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, July 3 check out WGVU [ https://www.wgvu.org/radio/ | https://www.wgvu.org/radio/ ] beginning around 9:05 a.m., immediately following the news to hear MAP get a shout out on live radio. There should be a link available to the interview afterwards, so be sure to use it to share the news about MAP with your family, friends, colleagues, etc. Remember, there are 470 great MAP destinations to "check out" this summer, including 33 brand new partner venues.
