Latest Branch News

In September they listened to the president of the League of Women Voters.  Sean Henne, English professor at the West Shore Community College spoke to their branch in October about the “Big Read” project, conducted by the college and entertained them with a reading from the book.  As a part of that project, this branch sponsored a panel discussion in November of the featured book, “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston.  In March they heard the director of the county speak about a new 211 system which is being developed that acts like 911 but used for non emergencies.  They voted to assist in the development, implementation and sustainability of this community resource by pledging $750 annually for the next three years.  Other local projects they supported this past year included $100 to Manistee County Library, $250 to the Manistee League of Women Voters to help with the costs of their series educating women on running for public office and $100 to the Manistee-Mason-Oceana household hazardous waste collection day, the first ever collection day being sponsored cooperatively in the three counties by local conservation district staff.  In April they listened to a presentation regarding the county wide recycling and hazardous waste program in neighboring Benzie County.  All of these projects and their annual scholarship are possible through a very profitable annual yard sale held each June.  The scholarship is awarded to a woman student at West Shore Community College and was increased to $1250 this year and is now renewable for the first time.
