The Great Lakes of Michigan

Do you live or vacation around the Great Lakes of Michigan? If so, you know the beauty and most likely have a strong love for these bodies of water. Breathtaking year around, the Great Lakes are one of the worlds largest resources of natural water. But they need help. From you. Your friends, family. From me. I find the people not involved in saving these pristine bodies of water, want to...but just don't know what to do or where to go.

There are many great organizations that you can contact with.

I am involved with Alliance For The Great Lakes ~ http://www.greatlakes.org/ They have two headquarters, one in Chicago and one in Grand Haven, Michigan. If you check out their web site you will find publications, special reports and more. If you want to get involved you can become a member and/or:

Current Volunteer Opportunities:

Adopt-A-Beach: Year-round and Annual September Events

Volunteer for the Coastal Allies Network

Coastal Allies Network: September Adopt-a-Beach Office Assistant

You can help by yourself, as a family, organization, club, or business. Small or large, every effort makes a difference!

If you are already doing things to help preserve the Great Lakes, I would love to hear "your story." Email me at callreneeparker@yahoo.com
