• Michigan Go Run!

  May 30-June 1,

  We at the Michigan Women's Commission are excited to be a partner of The White House Project, which is sponsoring "Michigan Go Run" ."Go-Run" is a nonpartisan political leadership training for women throughout Michigan.  Michigan Go Run is for women at every stage of political involvement - whether you plan to run this year, next year, in ten years or if you just want to get more civically involved, you’re invited to join the inaugural class of Michigan Go Run!  It is scheduled for May 30 - June 1, 2008, at the Radisson Hotel Lansing.  Shannon Garrett, the Michigan field director of The White House Project, informs me that there are still spaces available.  Contact her at 616-454-8836 or sgarrett@thewhitehouseproject.org for more information. 
  I attach an e-flyer for you to send to anyone who might be interested, or to print and post. Thank you for helping share information about this important opportunity.
