Summary
At the March 2 meeting, Friends of SMARTTrails reported arrival of branded materials and described takeaways from a Michigan DNR and community foundation grant workshop, including combining DNR Trust Fund and Community Foundation grants and using in‑kind match strategies.
At the Manistee County Recreation Commission meeting on March 2, member Linda Cudney reported that Friends of SMARTTrails received new branded materials and signage, listing "koozies, stickers, magnets, etc." She said the group met Feb. 9 and attended a recreation grant workshop hosted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Manistee County Community Foundation.
Cudney said the workshop emphasized combining Community Foundation grants with DNR Trust Fund grants and identifying in‑kind match opportunities such as volunteer labor. She noted the group had received an application for sponsorship from Little River Casino Resort for a charity golf outing planned in August and that a guest presenter is anticipated at a future meeting.
