The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has long been interested and involved In community self-improvement from within neighborhoods to within city hall, using the processes of education, social welfare and environmental development. Since its founding in 1926 as a private non-operating foundation, it has funded programs aimed at improving the quality of fife through individuals and their communities. Charles Stewart Mott, a pioneer in the automobile industry, established the Foundation out of a sense of responsibility toward his home community, Flint, Michigan where he helped develop the community education concept, which ties together ail learning and seeks to involve everyone in the determination of their fives and of the fife of the community. The Foundation's assets are now about $471 million, and though based in Flint, its activities have expanded to encompass the discovery and demonstration of principles undergirding community functioning everywhere. 3 OWL_ vow arms lid/ INTRODUCTION This book offers a summary of the 361 grants made by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in 1982. It contains "fact sheets" on grants for $15,000 or more. All grants for amounts under $15,000 are listed with brief descriptions. The fact sheets tel! the reasons for grants why projects and programs are needed. Most of them tell how the grants meet the objectives of the Foundation, what they might accomplish, how they are related to other Foundation-supported programs, how many people are served, how the money is used. Because the fact sheets were written when the grants were made, they do not cover results in most cases. The fact sheets are dated to help the ;wilder put the information into the proper time perspective. Often there is an illuminating comment by a person familiar with objectives, needs or possibilities. The grants are grouped by Foundation missions, the statements of objectives that guide Foundation grant-making. The Foundation's communications department began writing the fact sheets to provide an instantly available source of information for members of the press and other persons inquiring about specific grants. The summaries have proved to be a valuable working tool within the Foundation and will, it is hoped, be equally valuable to persons lo_ Ang for understanding of the Foundation's philosophy and purposes and for more information than is available in the annual report. iii Index Index entries of grantee are in bold-faced type.

    Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting

    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

    FINAL VERSION State of the City Address 2016 Dr. Karen Weaver, Mayor of Flint Flint, Michigan / August 4, 2016 Good evening. It is an honor to address the people of Flint at my first-ever State of the City address. I appreciate the many citizens and leaders from government, business, churches, and the community who have chosen to attend today, especially Congressman Dan Kildee and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, and I am grateful for the steadfast support you have shown the City of Flint as it deals with a shocking and unprecedented drinking water crisis. Despite that crisis, the resolve to make our city of Flint greater than ever has never been stronger. We are determined to continue the upward trend Flint was on before this crisis hit, when new restaurants and businesses were opening, revitalization was underway, and entrepreneurship was taking hold, along with a growing faith in the future. Those positive changes mean that, once again, we’re enjoying Atwood Stadium as an anchor in downtown Flint, a place we can watch our great sports teams play now it has been renovated by Kettering University. And who isn’t looking forward to next year’s reopening of the Capitol Theatre, which will be restored to its historical glory thanks to the state, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Hagerman Foundation? Isn’t it positive that new companies are moving into Flint and creating expanded job opportunities, such as iSource Worldwide’s $2.7 million investment and 100 new jobs for the Dryden Building? Aren’t we excited to see the long-vacant Chevy in the Hole property being transformed into a wonderful community park and into Kettering University’s new automotive training ground? Flint is a wonderful place to live, and we plan to create an even better city in the days ahead.

In this sense, it may truly be called a Foundation for Living — with the ultimate aim of developing greater understanding among men. “We recognize that our obligation to fellow men does not stop at the boundaries of the community. In an even larger sense, every man is in partnership with the rest of the human race in the eternal conquest which we call civilization.” harles Stewart Mott (1875-1973), who established this Foundation in 1926, was deeply concerned, from Chis earliest years in Flint, with the welfare of his adopted community. Soon after he had become one of the city’s leading industrialists, this General Motors pioneer found a practical and successful way to express his interest.

    CTF CONNECTION Published by the Canadian Tenpin Federation, Inc. Fédération Canadienne des Dix-Quilles, Inc. August September, 2014 Welcome to a New Season! How to Join a Bowling League Bowling is a great pastime. It allows you to enjoy exercise, social interaction, and competition, and it can be done regardless of the weather outside. If you want to make bowling your hobby, joining a league is a great way to go! 1. Find a local bowling centre. Maybe you pass one on your way to work every morning. If you don’t, search the internet, or (if anyone does this anymore) use a phone book to find one. CTF (Canadian Tenpin Federation) has a website (www.gotenpinbowling.ca) to contact for information. 2. Go to the bowling centre. Check out the place. See if you like the atmosphere. Is there a snack and beverage bar that you like in there? Is there a pro shop where you can ask questions to learn more about the game/sport? 3. Talk to someone that works there. Ask what nights there are leagues on. If you’re competitive or more of a recreational bowler ask which nights those leagues are on. Be able to tell the employee what you typically average on the lanes (if you know), if you have your own ball/shoes, and what your expectations are of joining a league (i.e. a night out with friends, to win some money, to practice your technique and get better). 4. Figure out what works best for your schedule or friends' schedules.
