We have the opportunity to conduct a fund raising campaign on behalf of trail. Nancy Krupiarz of the Michigan Rails to Trails field office will be at the October meeting to explain how to run a capital campaign. She will describe a well documented campaign of this type in Pennsylvania that can work for us. Your attendance at this meeting will show that the trail really is important to you. The Macomb Orchard Trail, which is the abandoned railroad bed that links Romeo to Richmond and Rochester, was passed over in two separate rounds of grants.
Projects pull trails, rivers, people closer together.
In the first round, awarded earlier this month, four-fifths of the money went to assist land purchases, obviously the most expensive part of a trail network. 29 Mile Road Ray Township, Michigan Meetings are typically the second Tuesday of each month. Same place, same time.
