Fellow Men’s Club Members

We have reached a point where we have to discuss the future of the Presque Isle Community Men’s Club. A once thriving group of energetic members, we have dwindled to just a few. We cancelled our last two meetings. The previous three had attendance of 8, 8, and 7. We had some great speakers: Greg Awtry talking about the Enbridge Pipeline; Allan Berg gave a PIEG update of ice storm and fiber internet status; Sonia Taylor speaking on “How Can Homecare Help You.” Greg gave a great presentation, but he had to drive from Hubbard Lake to talk to such a small crowd. We have a good balance sheet. It’s time to produce another directory but it takes more members to get the job done. Please come and share your insights on the direction we should take. As President, my term expired the end of December. Bylaws state I can only serve two two year terms. I would be willing to serve longer but the Bylaws would need to be changed, or someone needs to step up to fill the position. Please join us Thursday morning at 9:00 in the ‘Craft’ room at the Clubhouse and share your thoughts. We have been a vital organization in the Presque Isle Community. I would hate to see us fade away. I’ll bring the donuts.

Mike Bugenske, President

Statement on the Role of the Presque Isle Community Men’s Club

The Presque Isle Community Men’s Club plays a vital role in supporting fellowship, service, and civic engagement within the Presque Isle, Michigan community. Founded on the principles of camaraderie, volunteerism, and local pride, the Club provides a welcoming space for men of the area to connect, share ideas, and work together for the betterment of Presque Isle.

The Club organizes a variety of social and recreational activities throughout the year, including community gatherings, educational programs, seasonal events, and opportunities for members to engage with local issues. These activities strengthen community bonds and preserve the character and traditions of Presque Isle.

Philanthropy is a central mission of the Presque Isle Community Men’s Club. The organization contributes time, resources, and financial support to projects that enhance the quality of life for residents. This includes assisting local nonprofits, supporting youth programs, contributing to community beautification efforts, and responding to needs as they arise within the township. Through fundraising, volunteer work, and partnerships with other local organizations, the Club helps ensure that Presque Isle remains a vibrant, supportive, and forward-looking community.

The Presque Isle Community Men’s Club stands as a longstanding example of civic spirit—bringing people together, enriching local life, and giving back to the place its members proudly call home.

 

MDOT Highway Pickups

The MDOT road clean-up has been a legacy mission for PICMC since the club started in the 1990’s. Three times a year usually April, July and Sept. PICMC members and friends pick-up road trash along a three mile stretch of US 23, a mile on Grand Lk Rd and Co Rd 638. This road clean-up is administered by the state as the white trash bags can be seen up and down our highways.

MDOT highway pick-up dates for the Mens Club for 2025  are  coming…

All dates start at 9:00am at the chapel parking lot.
