Land Use Lunch: Friday, September 3, 2010
Mid-MEAC is the sponsor and coordinator of the First Friday Land Use Lunch
series. Please mark your calendar for this Friday, September 3, 2010!
Welcome back to our Land Use Lunch series. We're kicking it off on Friday,
September 3, 2010 at 12pm at Central United Methodist Church with a great topic:
Sustainable Foods! We're welcoming Rebecca Titus from Titus Farms and Cheryl
Danley from the C.S. Mott Group for Sustainable Food Systems at Michigan State
University. We'll talk about the Eat Local movement and how you can incorporate
local, sustainable food into your life.
Mid-MEAC Awarded an AmeriCorps Position
The Power of We Consortium has selected Mid-MEAC as an AmeriCorps site for
2010 - 2011. We have one half-time position open for someone who is passionate
about the environment and wants an opportunity to work on our programs and
projects. Are you interested? Know someone who might be? Please contact Julie

and looking forward to wading in the water? Give Chip Kosloski a call at (517) 507-
1303 or email him at koslosk5@gmail.com.

Mad City Chickens Premiere - Thank Yous!
Last Thursday night, Mid-MEAC and Allen Neighborhood Center hosted the
Michigan premiere of Mad City Chickens, a documentary about urban chicken
farming. More than 100 chicken fans turned out for the event and we all had a great
time! We'd like to give thanks to our sponsors: Black Soil Church, Capital Imaging,
ELFCO, the Corie Family who hosted the event, the many farmers from Allen
Neighborhood Center who donated food and to our volunteers who made it possible
to have such an eggs-cellent time!
