MARJDI installs Billboard sign at Senior Center
The Manistee County Senior Center joins a number of businesses and municipalities in welcoming “ALL PEOPLE” to Manistee. The pictured sign below was installed at the wishes of the Wagoner Community Center and was constructed and installed with the help of Manistee Racial Justice and Diversity Initiative (MARJDI). Dick Albee and Chuck Dumanois from MARJDI stated that they have received many positive comments from citizens and visitors , stating that displaying this sign makes them feel safe and proud to live and/or visit Manistee County. It is the hope of MARJDI to have all Manistee County merchants display the welcome sign.
