    The Mitten Brewing Company

    March 11, 2021 /

    By Olivia RauThe Mitten Brewing Company is a vintage baseball themed microbrewery located in a historic firehouse, Engine House #9, in Grand Rapids’ West Side. Since its opening in 2012, the Mitten has built a unique reputation for pairing high-quality craft beers and gourmet pizzas with community involvement. Giving back to the local community is a core value of the Mitten—they have given more than $300,000 in charitable gifts to local nonprofits since 2012. While the brewery’s commitment to their community through volunteerism and charitable giving has been evident from the beginning, the organization further bolstered their philanthropic capacity by forming their own nonprofit foundation in 2017, Mitten Foundation. The mission of the…

    By Aubrey Sochacki Lansing is often known for being the capital of Michigan, the home of the Spartans, and a growing community. The city strives to be supportive of all members of the community, including local businesses and those who call the city home. The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) encourages each of their staff members to serve on local boards and committees. Through this encouragement, they have made it possible for CVB members to work with these boards and committees to organize local events. One of the events that many staff members help with is planting flowers on the capital lawn each year. This event brings the community together…

    Pictured Rocks Boat Cruises

    February 9, 2021 /

    By Megan Heynen If you live in Michigan, there is a good chance that you have heard of the Upper Peninsula’s (UP) Pictured Rocks. However, there is less of a chance that you have had the opportunity to go up to the UP and see them with your own eyes. Pictured Rocks is located on the South shore of Lake Superior and is a strip of unusual sandstone formations that goes on for miles. Pictured Rocks has always been a popular tourist destination. Over 50 years ago, Pictured Rocks Cruises, LLC began offering boat rides around the rocks to allow visitors to see them up close and personal. These cruises run from mid-May through…

     By Caitlyn Witkamp and Claire Zuwala Imagine being a tourist in your hometown, kind of a crazy idea, right? You have lived there for most of your life, so you should know everything there is to know about your sweet little town, where everything is, the places to chow down, and the best places for entertainment or fun… but, can you market your town to others? The Flint and Genesee Convention Visitors Bureau (CVB) is trying to change that. “Be A Tourist” is a program that the Flint and Genesee CVB put in place to help change the way the local residents, future residents, and visitors to the community see Flint and…

"It is an opportunity to cultivate relationships w "It is an opportunity to cultivate relationships with other tourism industry professionals, learn about tourism assets in Michigan, bring back new ideas to Gaylord, but most importantly, give back to the industry that we both love." Paul Beachnau, Executive Director of the @gaylordmichigan Tourim Bureau and #MC4T volunteer.

THANK YOU to Paul and the Gaylord CVB for this nice little write up in their newsletter last month! It's great to hear what our volunteers like about MC4T events and what keeps bringing them back for more.

Today was the second annual @gvsuceci volunteer da Today was the second annual @gvsuceci volunteer day, organized by their College Advisory and Communication Committee, with supplies and tools provided by us and the @michigandnr.

Around 40 faculty and staff members from CECI joined us today to finish assembling Reel In & Recycle tubes that the DNR is placing at boat launches and fishing spots all over the state of Michigan. Fishing line is not biodegradable and can remain in the environment for 600 years. These lines can be harmful to animals, humans, and boat propellers. Around 100,000 wildlife die from remnants of fishing gear each year. The recycling bins our volunteers assembled today will provide a safe and responsible receptacle for old fishing lines.

Volunteers today completed 330 tubes today, which rounds out the 1,100 total tubes that will eventually be placed around the state - and #MC4T volunteers assembled more than half of all of those! 

Another great day with a great group of people, doing the work to make Michigan's natural tourism attractions a safer and better place for all to enjoy.
