Gift Wrapping Fundraiser to Benefit Students at Beaver Island Lighthouse School
A gift wrapping event in Traverse City on the biggest shopping day of the year will raise money for the Beaver Island Lighthouse School. Staff from Northwest Michigan Works! Youth Education and Employment Services will be wrapping gifts on the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Horizon Books on Front Street.
The event is part of a larger fundraising effort for the Beaver Island Lighthouse School. Northwest Michigan Works! recently unveiled new web pages to make it easier for the public to make donations to the school.
The website includes information about the cost of educating students at the school, a wish list of needed items, and photos and quotes from current and former students.
You can find more information and make a donation at: networksnorthwest.org/bilsdonations.
The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
