Upcoming Events
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

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.
