Stewards of Bete Grise Preserve to meet July 30

HOUGHTON -- Stewards of Bete Grise Preserve (SBGP) will meet at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, at the UPPCO Building in Houghton. (Please note time change to 4 p.m.)

The main topic of the meeting will be planning the August 23 picnic at the Bete Grise Preserve, so bring your suggestions.

"The picnic will be a fun time to promote the Preserve, and we're delighted that a KBIC (Keweenaw Bay Indian Community) drumming group and tribal members will be joining us," said Anita Campbell, SBGP secretary.

Since the UPPCO building is currently under construction, it's a little complicated getting inside to hold the meeting, but Sue Haralson offers the following advice:

"The front door is locked due to construction on the 1st and 2nd floor. Instead of parking at the front door entrance, park on the upper road that has a covered canopy parking area. You'll notice a tunnel/walkway to the 3rd floor. The door is unlocked during construction for visitors. There are two parking slots next to the door for visitor parking, but use any of the parking slots. If anyone gets a parking ticket, they should give it to me. I'll be on hand to help guide the lost ones."

The meeting is open to new members. Even if you can't attend the meeting, remember to invite your friends to the picnic, which will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23, at the Bete Grise Preserve.
