We will enjoy Club fellowship, induct our newest members, and have a presentation by our own Salvation Army of Michigan City as we celebrate the holidays at the beautiful Barker Mansion.

In late 2017, multiple organizations and communities in Northwest Indiana launched an ambitious effort to develop the first economic development strategic plan for the seven-county region, including Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, and Starke. TIP Strategies was engaged in February 2018 to facilitate the planning process and to develop the planning documents. Over the course of eight months, a broad coalition of regional partners and stakeholders came together to guide and inform this initiative. The end product—Ignite the Region: A Regional Strategy for Economic Transformation—was presented to the public in September 2018.  Heather Ennis will come and present on that plan and all that had happened in our region since September 2018.

We will honor the 2020 Paul Alinsky Award Honoree at this special meeting.

Laurie will share information about the programs running at the MC/Elston Branch of the Y and future partnerships.  Many people don't know the amazing things happening at the Elston Branch and this is a great opportunity to find out!
