The Rotary Club, Up North Art, & the City of Cadillac would partner to add new signage. Up North Arts would work alongside the Rotary Auction Committee and attend meetings, secure auction items, plan, pick up items, and set up and tear down.
The new signage would bring visibility and awareness to the Art Center, Senior Center, and Library Genealogy Center.
Center needs: Pole Barn for storage, Pavilion for clients, Playground Area & fence
The pole barn would store home items for when their clients can get their own place. The pavilion would be a good area for clients to hang out during the day time, it would also be a benefit to have a playground for children living at the center.

Rotary Club of Cadillac was genuinely excited to recognize the importance of the stadium renovations and support it with a $25,000 grant towards the new Press Box.


Last weekend they had a back-to-school event for foster kids; they provided backpacks, shoes, socks, underwear, and school supplies.

About 300 cases currently, Meth/Heroin about ⅓ of those, and another ⅓ are property crimes. Meth is the NUMBER ONE issue in the courts currently. Decreased the number of people sent to prison for a number of reasons, due to a change in law, reducing the ability to place people in confinement. Drug cases usually want rehab but there is NOT a lot of this locally, for drug rehab or juvenile delinquency. This is also a huge factor, being those addicts aren’t getting the help they really need and then going right out to the revolving door.

Thank you Sandy from the Cadillac Jaycees for visiting our club meeting!
