West Michigan Jobs Group gives a damn!

Here is a letter that my cohort, Elizabeth Council, wrote to the Chronicle about our non-profit organization, West Michigan Jobs Group.  Read Letter. We wanted everyone to know that our group does give a damn and what steps we have been taking to make Muskegon a better place to live.  Also, we want to motivate others to do the same thing we have done.  It was completely grassroots, we didn't really know what we were doing when we got started, and it all just came together and took off.  Anyone can do it!

Letter: Pulling together, Muskegon: West Michigan Jobs Group gives a damn

Muskegon's Cash Mob Recap

The Cash Mob at Continuity in Muskegon, MI was a success!  We had about 15-20 people show up... some before the set time and some after as well.  The Cash Mob also made front page news of the Muskegon Chronicle, so it was great publicity both for the cause and for the store.  Since last week Wednesday, there have been a couple other cash mobs in Muskegon arranged by other local people and groups.  This is great!  The local stores can definitely use the help and support.  We haven't determined which store West Michigan Jobs Group will hit up next, but we believe it will be sometime in early February and probably more in the evening.  Here is the link to the article that was in the paper:  Muskegon's First Cash Mob Designed to Boost Locally-Owned Businesses  Feel free to comment your thoughts, suggestions, feedback, etc on this Cash Mob concept or the event itself.  Thank you!!
