Tribal Grant

Post by AMVETS POST 46 »

St. James Township Supervisor Bill Haggard notified us today that the 2% grant AMVETS Post 46 applied for thru the township was approved. This grant will allow us to complete the landscaping of the berm next to the lake at the Veterans Memorial Park and most importantly purchase bricks to recognize those Native Americans from the Archipelago who served in the Armed Forces of the USA. Thanks to George Anthony and Mary Kenwabikise who provided the initial list for the grant application. We will be working with them and others to make sure all are properly recognized.

We want to thank the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians for this grant.
