April 21 to 27 was a celebration of National Volunteer Week, which is always a great reminder of the important work our volunteers do to help us in our mission to strengthen and nurture the culture, health, and sustainability of our downtown district. While this special week is coming to an end, we love to celebrate our volunteers all year long by honoring a special volunteer each month. This month’s volunteer of the month is Alan Woodbury. Alan is a member of our Business Development Committee and has recently joined the planning and coordination team for our monthly Downtown Business Huddle meetings. He does an amazing job of finding speakers that interest our businesses downtown! We appreciate his willingness to curate such interesting conversations!
Our businesses are the heart of our downtown community, and our business huddles are a vital way that we coordinate with our business owners and merchants. We appreciate your help, Alan, in helping us provide useful resources and a networking opportunity for those in our downtown business community.
Join us for our May Downtown Business Huddle on Thursday, May 16 at 4 p.m. at the Choose Lansing Office, located at 500 E. Michigan Ave., Ste. 180. Thanks to Choose Lansing for sponsoring. Meet with other small business owners and workers downtown, learn about new projects and developments and network all in one place!
