We
are an informal group of Northern Michigan citizens seeking to have more local
impact and connectedness with our money. We gather once a month for a potluck
and to meet local entrepreneurs and learn about their projects. During our
meetings, we also share ideas for how we might keep more of our money locally
and invested for triple-bottom-line returns (financial, social, and
environmental). This is an experiment of sorts with exciting offshoot
possibilities, including the spawning of a more formal local investing club. For
now, though, those interested in pursuing local investments with other group
members or presenting entrepreneurs may do so independently of this ALAP group.
Our meetings are open to any individual, although we request that you RSVP so
that we can assure sufficient meeting space.
Hello all,
Just a reminder that our February ALAP meeting is just around
the corner. We will meet again at Michigan Land Use Institute
headquarters with a potluck beginning from 6pm on Thursday, February 9.
Our main guest speaker, Mark Moseler, will speak from 7pm about his business,
Northern Latitudes Distillery, which plans to open in Lake Leelanau this
Spring. We
are also finalizing plans for one or two five minute “blast” announcements from
local entrepreneurs for the last ten minutes of the six o-clock hour. After
Mark’s talk and Q&A, we will spend the 8-9pm hour discussing group business
with a focus on planning for future speakers.
Looking forward to seeing you all next Thursday. Have
a great weekend!
Zach
