Multicultural Advisory Committee Seeks Additional Members The Multicultural Advisory Committee (MAC) was formed in April of 2008 for the purpose of creating a set of best practices and recommendations for LGBT multicultural service provision and center operation.  The MAC is currently in the process of collecting community information and looking for people interested in participating in focus groups.  Additionally, as vacancies on the committee arise, additional interested people are needed to serve on the MAC.  If you are interested in serving in either of these capacities, please take our brief survey. Tug-O-War Challenge - Postponed The Tug-O-War Challenge with S.P.I.C.E. has been postponed and well be held at a later date.  Contact Maureen Jones, Social & Recreation Coordinator at (248) 398-7105 x229 for more information.
