Hi everyone! Happy New Year! This post serves to put an upcoming event on your radar. As you may recall, Burton was one of 3 communities participating in the Citizenship for Health program. In March, all 3 communities are invited to attend a gathering at Wayne State so all of you can share your experiences with the principal investigators of the project. Though there is no solid information on the event yet, initial discussions suggested March 14th or March 21st as options for the date of the event. Additionally, a meal will be provided, and there is a possibility of transportation being provided from Burton to Wayne State and back. Again, details are still being discussed and planned. Stay tuned to this page for more info, and watch for an email as well.
