Good Morning, I am pleased to announce the availability of passes for the 32 brand new destinations that have joined our little partnership that has grown from 25 partner venues to 470, which we call the Michigan Activity Pass program :) The complete list of new MAP partners is now featured (in red) on the Michigan Activity Pass homepage at: [ http://www.plymouthrockets.com/michiganactivitypass/ | http://www.plymouthrockets.com/michiganactivitypass/ ] Someone said to me recently "MAP added more new destinations to its program this year than most public library museum programs have total destinations in their entire program." Cool! Please remember, unlike the model for most public library museum programs around the country whereby museums receive compensation in order to help offset losses at the gate they may incur as a result of their participation, our MAP partner destinations receive no financial incentive at all. The only type of compensation/incentive we can offer besides our good will is the publicity and promotion we make available via our Facebook page [ https://www.facebook.com/MIActivityPass/ | https://www.facebook.com/MIActivityPass/ ] which is closing in on 7,500 likes, as well as the extensive publicity and promotion provided by Michigan's nearly 400 public libraries. Please assist our partner destinations by promoting your Michigan Activity Pass program and thus their institution, to your patrons whenever, wherever and however you can. Here is the list of our 32 new MAP partner destinations: Coopersville & Marne Railway (note: I broke the passes for this venue, but our erstwhile MAP software developer is diligently at work as I am typing these lines to fix my broken passes for this destination): [ https://www.coopersvilleandmarne.org/ | https://www.coopersvilleandmarne.org/ ] Selfridge Military Air Museum: [ http://www.selfridgeairmuseum.org/ | http://www.selfridgeairmuseum.org/ ] Hudson Museum: [ https://www.facebook.com/HudsonMuseum/ | https://www.facebook.com/HudsonMuseum/ ] Grand Blanc Heritage Museum: [ http://www.cityofgrandblanc.com/departments/heritage-museum | http://www.cityofgrandblanc.com/departments/heritage-museum ] Algonac Clay Historical Society Community Museum: [ http://www.achistory.com/ach1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53 | http://www.achistory.com/ach1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=53 ] Algonac Clay Historical Society Maritime Museum: [ http://www.achistory.com/ach1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=110&Itemid=135 | http://www.achistory.com/ach1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=110&Itemid=135 ] The Region of Three Oaks Museum: [ https://www.regionofthreeoaksmuseum.com/ | https://www.regionofthreeoaksmuseum.com/ ] Crystal Falls Museum Society Harbour House: [ https://www.crystalfallsmuseum-harbourhouse.org/ | https://www.crystalfallsmuseum-harbourhouse.org/ ] Cedar Springs Museum: [ https://www.cedarspringsmuseum.org/ | https://www.cedarspringsmuseum.org/ ] Historic White Pine Village: [ https://historicwhitepinevillage.org/ | https://historicwhitepinevillage.org/ ] Port of Ludington Maritime Museum: [ https://ludingtonmaritimemuseum.org/ | https://ludingtonmaritimemuseum.org/ ] Negaunee Historical Society Museum: [ https://www.negauneehistory.org/ | https://www.negauneehistory.org/ ] Belleville Area Museum: [ https://www.facebook.com/BellevilleAreaMuseum/ | https://www.facebook.com/BellevilleAreaMuseum/ ] Platte River State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82190---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82190---,0... ] Harrietta State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82186---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82186---,0... ] Oden State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82187---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82187---,0... ] Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82189---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82189---,0... ] Thompson State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82191---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82191---,0... ] Marquette State Fish Hatchery: [ https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82188---,0... | https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79136_79236_80247_80504_82188---,0... ] Gardner House Museum: [ http://www.albionhistoricalsociety.org/gardner.php | http://www.albionhistoricalsociety.org/gardner.php ] A.E.
