Everybody Loves Raymond
by Mary Beauchamp 06 Feb '16

06 Feb '16

Would anyone like Everybody Loves Raymond (DVD) for their collection? I am discarding seasons 1-9 and will give them to the first library that responds. Keep in mind that their packaging is bulky, each season is pretty wide and will take up a considerate amount of space on your shelves. Thank you, Mary Beauchamp Adult Services Petoskey District Library 231-758-3114

by Larry Wagenaar 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

My apologies if this is a duplicate - sending this out to my personal contacts. cid:image001.jpg@01D049CB.CCD4EF00 February 4, 2016 Historical Society of Michigan 5815 Executive Dr. Lansing, MI 48911 Contact: Nancy Feldbush (517) 324-1828 <mailto:hsm@hsmichigan.org> hsm(a)hsmichigan.org For Immediate Release MICHIGAN HISTORY MAGAZINE ROLLS OUT REDESIGN Lansing, Mich. -- The Historical Society of Michigan (HSM) is pleased to announce the redesign of its flagship magazine, Michigan History, starting with the January/February 2016 issue. New and enhanced features, such as "Made in Michigan" and "Trips by Topic," have been wrapped up in a refreshed design that make the bi-monthly publication easier for readers to navigate through the content. "We are very excited about the redesign of our flagship publication," commented publisher Larry J. Wagenaar, who also serves as Executive Director of the Historical Society of Michigan. "Our redesign team, led by Michigan History editor Patricia Majher, did an outstanding job in updating the look and feel of the country's most successful state history magazine and made it an even more compelling read." Edited for an audience of popular history enthusiasts, Michigan History brings to life the exciting stories of Michigan people, places, and events and their impact on the state, the nation, and the world. The updated magazine includes three new features. The first, "Made in Michigan" highlights great things that originated in the Great Lakes State-from the first practical highway snowplow and the first professional hockey league to cat litter, cornflakes and cubicles. "Trips by Topic" suggests themed tours of Michigan museums-for example, aviation museums, fishing museums, or Native-American museums-based on HSM's Historic Michigan Travel Guide. And "Wise Words" contains quotes by Michiganians or about Michigan on the many topics that have shaped our history. In addition, the book review section has been expanded to include Michigan history-related music and movies as well as books. The magazine is published six times a year and is available for $24.95 for a one-year subscription and $41.95 for a two-year subscription. Orders may be placed by visiting <http://www.hsmichigan.org/michiganhistory> www.hsmichigan.org/michiganhistory or by calling (800) 366-3703. Individual issues may be purchased for $6.95 at all Meijer and Barnes & Noble locations as well as at many independent bookstores throughout the state. The Historical Society of Michigan is the state's oldest cultural organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming, and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote Michigan's rich history. # # # To opt-out, please respond to this e-mail with "remove" in the subject line.

Judge Grants Injunction Against PA 269/SB 571
by Genny Allen 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Good news, a federal court judge today granted a request for a preliminary injunction on PA 269. This means the changes to the Michigan Campaign Finance Act impacting our free speech issues are not immediately enforceable. The new law which bans mailers, media ads or robo calls 60 days before a local ballot question was called unconstitutionally vague by the judge. Whether this success is repeated with an actual overturning of the legislation remains to be seen. Watch the MLA website for updates.
