We would love your help to make Manistee a more welcoming community!
MARJDI (Manistee Area Racial Justice and Diversity Initiative) is working to again put up billboards to welcome “all” to Manistee. As you may know, we sponsored two billboards in the summer and fall of 2021—one south of town visible to northbound traffic on U.S. 31, and one north of town by the airport, visible to southbound traffic on U.S. 31. We received many positive comments from residents and visitors alike, who appreciated this warm welcome as they drove into our beautiful town! The billboards last year were made possible through the MARJDI fund of the Manistee County Community Foundation. MARJDI would like to again display these welcoming billboards for the upcoming 2023 summer/fall season!
We have a quote from Lamar Advertising Company to put up 3 billboards—one each on the South, East and North entrances to Manistee County. The cost for these billboards for 6 months is $7650.00. They would be displayed from May 1, 2023 through Oct. 31, 2023 . If we raise less than that amount we will either reduce the number of months the billboards are displayed or use the money to support other MARJDI antiracist educational activities.
We need your help to make this project a reality!! Your donation within the next few months will allow us to reserve the billboard spots. If you can help, please make your donation to the Manistee County Community Foundation/MARJDI fund. You can make your donation on line at the Manistee County Community Foundation web site HERE, or in person or by mail to the Foundation’s Office at 400 River St., Suite 50, Manistee MI 49660. Any size donation is very welcome. Thanks for helping to make Manistee County a better place to live, work and play!
