The DALMAC Fund - Grants by Year The DALMAC Fund - Grants By Year The DALMAC Fund was established in 1975 by the DALMAC Agreement between Dick Allen and the Tri-County Bicycle Association (TCBA) of Lansing. DALMAC stand for Dick Allen Lansing to Mac kinaw. Included in the DALMAC Agreement was the creation of the DALMAC Fund. The DALMAC Fund was established to promote bicycling in Michigan. Dick Allen’s original purpose for riding from Lansing to Mackinaw went far beyond just a recreational ride. He wanted to bring the fun and health benefits of bicycling to all who would participate and advance Michigan’s prospects for active, outdoor tourism on a bicycle. The first DALMAC Fund use was in 1976. Funds were used to buy a bicycle for St. Vincent Children's Home in Lansing. The first significant expenditure of DALMAC Fund money started in April, 1978, when TCBA stated a statewide newsletter, initially called the Michigan League. The publication’s initial mailing list was made up of DALMAC riders, TCBA members, and members of the League of American Wheelmen in Michigan. The League of American Wheelmen is now called the League of American Bicyclists. The publication was renamed the Michigan Bicyclist in 1981. The Michigan Bicyclist newsletter was transferred to the League of Michigan Bicyclists in 1983 and officially became their newsletter. The DALMAC Fund stopped financing the Michigan Bicyclist newsletter when it because the League of Michigan Bicyclists’ newsletter. 1985 marked the creation of the DALMAC Fund committee. Systematic grant records begin with the Committee’s creation. The committee was formed to more effectively dispense money, which had been growing rapidly since 1981 because of DALMAC's increased ridership under the management of Events Director Kim Wilcox. 1981 saw the DALMAC ridership double with the use of the east and west routes. The west route was created by Bob AllGrants.doc 1 March 23, 2010 The DALMAC Fund - Grants By Year Gibbs in 1980. Prior to 1980, the route went up the east side of the state. Only one route per year was used prior to 1981. The charter members of the DALMAC Fund committee were Brint Donalson, chairman, Rebecca Baughan, Kim Wilcox, Steven Leiby, and Tom Hardenbergh. Kim Wilcox left the committee in 1991 and Bob Hollenshead took his place. After Brint’s untimely death in 1995, Tom Martin joined the committee. Tom Hardenbergh left the committee at the end of 2008. Arnie Johnson joined the committee in 2009. The committee's first chairman was Brint Donalson, who served from 1985 to 1991. Steven Leiby took over in 1992 and served as chair until 1994. Tom Hardenbergh took over the chairmanship in 1995 and served until 2008. Steven Leiby returned as chair in 2009. The DALMAC Fund has granted $938,681 from 1986 thru September 15, 2010.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • 2014 April River Ride Publisher Version
    Friends of the Flint River Trail 5LYHU5LGH “Riding together in Flint and Genesee County” 2014 Who are The Friends of the Flint River Trail? For 16 years, the Friends of the Flint River Trail have led regular Sunday bicycle rides on the trail, have advocated for trail expansion, have volunteered hours of service on the trail, and have promoted safe and active bicycling. We are an active chapter of the Flint River Watershed Coalition (FRWC). Our Sunday rides are family friendly, leisurely rides of about 10-12 miles in length. Our favorite destinations along the trail are Stepping Stones Falls and Blue Bell Beach – both in the Genesee County Parks system. Our rides are scheduled every week from the first Sunday in May through the last Sunday in October. The rides start at 2:00 from the old Flint Farmers’ Market at the intersection of Boulevard Drive and Robert T. Longway Boulevard. In recent years, we have averaged 35-40 riders every Sunday, each coming from about 30 different zip codes. We have introduced many riders to the trail, to the river, and to beautiful sites along the trail. The riders form a positive impression of the Flint River – thus promoting the mission of the FRWC. Last year volunteers from the FFRT donated over 300 volunteer hours cleaning, mowing, trimming branches and removing fallen trees from along the trail. We were instrumental in advocating for the Kearsley Park Trail, the paving of the trail between Dort Highway and Carpenter Road, and the west extension from downtown to Ballenger Highway at McLaren Hospital.

  • The Famous Caboose Got a Shiny New Yellow Coat of Paint This Year! FALL NEWSLETTER 2019
    FALL NEWSLETTER 2019 The Famous Caboose got a Shiny New Yellow Coat of Paint this Year! FALL NEWSLETTER 2019 Letter from the Executive Director One of my favorite things about being on the trails is watching all the different ways they are used. You see families walking together or folks chatting as they run with friends. Dogs might be taking their owners on strolls or cyclists cruise by with saddle bags full of groceries. I love to watch kids coast down hills ahead of their parents, and I always want to stop and help out the tourists stopping to look at maps along the way. You see skateboarders, baby-strollers, and of course skiers training when the trails are covered in snow. The best trails are built with that diversity in mind. The best trails are developed with government agencies, potential trail neighbors, advocates of all sorts, private businesses, and funders sitting at the table. Building trails is collaboration at its best — diverse groups of people working together on a shared goal. And that kind of collaboration is how TART Trails approaches every project. We believe the best trails come from working together with diverse About Julie Clark groups interested in the same goals – bustling Julie heads up the day-to- trails filled with lots of smiles, helping people day administration, trail get to where they want to go, and supporting planning and development, maintenance, and fundraising healthy and robust environments, communities, efforts for TART. She lives in and economies. downtown Traverse City with her husband Bill and their two Thank you, little girls.
