What a great turnout

Our first meeting!
15 community members met tonight to start the planning of the Celebration Year for Milan's 125Th.
Numerous organizations were represented and folks discussed the ideas and concepts as presented in the slide show presentation.
It was decided that a logo and slogan would be our first concrete step. Mike Armitage and Dave MacPherson volunteered to create some samples and bring them to our next meeting.

Jeri Burbank was our note take for the evening and once she complies the notes they will be posted on the this blog spot.

Our next meeting was scheduled for February 11Th at 7pm at the Old Fire Barn

See you on the 11Th! and be sure to check back for the meeting notes

Planning Session January 26th at 7pm

Hello Milan 125Th Celebrants,

Only 18 days until we get together to discuss, plot, plan our Celebration Year.

As stated the Place to be is the Old Fire Barn. Currently the plan is to use the down stairs room which houses the replica of the original jail.

I would like to make sure that the space will accommodate all attendees, so how about a phone, call, to the Chamber office telling us how many will be attending. They can be reached at

734-439-7932, Or drop an e-mail to me at lagilson06@comcast.net

Did you know?

During the Bi Centennial year Celebration there was a time capsule buried. We will be retrieving that capsule at some point during the year, and distributing the contents. It seems appropriate that we bury another capsule to be retrieved 25 years from 2010.

As the story has been told, folks wrote letters to their families and friends, who knows what else may be in that capsule. It will be exciting to discover the Treasures that were buried 25 years ago. We need to incorporate the time capsule into the celebration. A stand alone event or in combination with another? It's our choice our vision.

To quote Oliver Wendell Holmes "Many Ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up"

Feel free to comment on this blog, it's the kick off place for idea's and they will NOT go unacknowledged.
