All, I hope you enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. The "menu" in our household featured turkey and bronchitis, and not necessarily in that order, either. But we made do nevertheless. You might recall that in our last MAP update from November 21, we made note as to the possibility of BIG news for statewide MAP Year 3. I'm happy to report that discussions regarding that are ongoing, and that we hope to be able to share additional details very soon. As of today you have circulated 92.5% of last year's total number of passes. That's great work! Do you think we can get to 100% of last year's total by December 31? I think you can. The holiday school break time is right around the corner, and families are going to be looking for activities during this time. How about a day out at http://www.mi-sci.org/ or http://sloanlongway.org/Sloan-Museum or http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/ or http://www.lsa.umich.edu/ummnh/ Thanks to Brigette's hard work, our MAP Facebook page has nearly 300 likes https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michigan-Activity-Pass-MAP/510259192344845 and our Twitter account has almost 100 followers https://twitter.com/MapPass2014 Finally, in addition to the above I am currently engaged in a dialogue to "hook" a new MAP venue, beginning in January, 2015. Until and unless they formally sign on with MAP, and I'm pretty sure they will, I'll hold off revealing the identity of this potential new cultural partner. I will say that they would represent a great "catch" for MAP, and that I hope they will "sea" fit to join us. Thank you for your support and promotion of the Michigan Activity Pass program.
