Thanks for the info. I am "spreading the word" in Monroe. Unfortunately, I will be leaving that morning for a week out of state. I am hoping that others from Monroe might be able to travel to Lansing to attend the meeting. I offered to coordinate plans with you for them, if they so desire. Will let you know what I hear back. Also forwarded to friends/family in other Michigan communities (e.g., Chelsea, Ypsilanti, Lansing, Whitehall).
