It is certainly disappointing to learn that the House will try to ram auto no-fault reform through during the last few days of the lame duck session.  Working on such a complicated and controversial issue in which key stakeholders have not seen drafts nor been approached for input is irresponsible at best.  However, this session as been full of surprises.  YOUR help is needed!  Please contact your House and Senate member to express your concern and opposition to this last minute attempt to ram through legislation.  You need to act before 5:00 PM on Monday, December 17th to ensure your voice is heard.  Click on the link provided here to send an email.

For nearly 30 years Eisenhower Center has proudly searched for unique and innovative ways to approach rehabilitation.  One of our approaches was to open a 68 acre hobby farm as a vocational rehabilitation and residential/day-treatment program in Manchester, Michigan. As a part of this program (which includes a fully stocked wood-shop which would make even the most experienced carpenter envious), we’ve tried to add-on new and exciting vocational opportunities for our clients, including our recently opened Etsy shop.

MEC Markets is vocational rehabilitation for the 21st century. This website, the products listed there, and the entire back-end shipping process will be managed with the assistance of our clients.

So if you’re in the market for some beautiful, hand-crafted, and one of a kind gifts for your loved ones (like the barn wood string art pictured here), please check out our Etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MECMarkets. Not only will your loved ones be ecstatic at the gift, you’ll both know you supported a good cause.
