(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bob Milbrodt for the information in this story.)
Last Monday, Chelsea City Council Member Melissa Johnson and City Manager John Hanifan reviewed in detail the results of the recently approved Parks and Recreation Master Plan for Chelsea.
Both were pleased that with the proposed improvements, non-motorized paths in Chelsea will be connected to the 44-mile loop, tying together Stockbridge, Pinckney, Dexter, and Chelsea. In addition, the space near the wastewater facility will become a dog park, and a path will be created to connect to Veteran’s Park with a safe way to cross M-52.
Further improvements include a remodeling of Pierce Park to eliminate the wet parts and replacing the old restroom. Hanifan was optimistic that federal and state grant money will be available to help pay for the work.
This Monday, the club will hear from Olivia Vigiletti from Dawn Farm. Dawn Farm is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting addicts and alcoholics in achieving long-term recovery. They identify and remove barriers that addict’s face to entering the recovery community. From detox to long-term residential treatment, to transitional housing, Dawn Farm provides a continuum of care that can meet addicts right where they are.
Please join us as they share a bit about the services they offer, how they are committed to their mission, and a few of the new initiatives, including The Unicorn Project and Recovery is Good Business.
The club meeting begins each Monday at 6:15 p.m. in the St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea Hospital cafeteria, and the speakers begin at about 6:45 p.m.
Everyone is invited to the club’s meetings to learn about Kiwanis.
