2024 President's Message
Greetings Colleagues,


I hope everyone has had a good spring and the start to the summer.
While the rest of the world dreams of summer vacation, we are here dreaming of a mosquito and disease free summer. Well, at least we have ice cream!

The scientific committee has some very interesting projects lined up this year. I for one am looking forward to participating in these projects. If you have an interest in participating, MMCA has a host of active groups and we are always looking for more people to get involved. The planning committee has earmarked Traverse City for our next annual meeting. The beautiful Park Place Hotel will be a most alluring retreat in February.

This year has also marked a pretty significant uptick in tick populations. So be aware and careful in the field of these tiny creatures. If anyone is looking for more information on how to help mitigate ticks out in the field, or factual resources for residents, please reach out to myself or MMCA and we can help connect you with solid, fact based information. We have many members of MMCA who are quite knowledgeable in this area and they are most happy to help.

I wish everyone a Happy 4th of July and a relaxing summer season. If it turns out not to be so  relaxing, well, at least we still have ice cream!
​

Respectfully, Dave
