Foundation Grant Highlights Midland Police Department K-9 According to the Midland Police Department, our community has seen a rise in illegal drug use and drug related crime. While in the past the Midland Police Department was forced to seek the assistance of the State Police or other agencies when a K-9 unit was needed, they will now have a Drug Canine Team of their own to insure a fast respone time. Not only will the Drug Canine Team have an affect on illegal drug use, the canine is also trained as a tracking dog, able to assist with missing persons and locating criminals. The Foundation provided a grant of $20,000 toward the project, which includes a Chevy Tahoe to transport the Drug Canine Team. Access to Recreation In 2009 the MACF partnered with the Chippewa Nature Center, Disability Network of Mid-Michigan, Midland Community Center, Midland County Parks and Recreation Department, West Midland Family Center, City of Midland, Arnold Center, Inc. and The Arc of Midland to bring several accessible recreation opportunities to Midland. 2011 saw the installation of three new canoe and kayak launch sites with specially designed lifts that will enable disabled persons to move from a wheelchair to the canoe or kayak. These sites are located at the Farmers Market area, the Chippewa Cabin (near Chippewa River Rd and Meridian Rd), and Sanford Lake Park. The grand opening will be held on June 8th, 2012.
Foundation Projects The Foundation helps with several projects each year to improve our community. Santa House Renovation Project Santa loves his visit to Midland each year, but we recieved word that in order to visit with so many children, some updates were needed! Beginning in September 2011, the Foundation started raising funds for the Santa House Renovation Project. Our supportive community heard the call and has raised over $110,000 already! Construction is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2012, and will include an updated computer for the Glockenspiel, a new roof, improved landscaping, a walkway, carpet and new windows. Best of all, new restroom facilities will be installed! The Santa House is a project that the Foundation is proud to present each year. With your continued support Santa will be able to welcome families during the 2012 holiday season with a renovated Santa House.
