Please join us in Lansing on May 22 as the Center for Michigan celebrates the one-year anniversary of the statewide Michigan's Defining Moment Public Engagement Campaign.

To date, more than 1,500 community leaders and engaged residents have taken part in some 150 community conversations in every region of the state. Collectively, they've spent more than 6000 hours developing a common ground agenda for a more prosperous Michigan future.

On May 22nd, we say thank you and celelebrate.

If you're among the 100 Founding Champions of this movement, or a convener or participant in a community conversation, or an EnvisionMichigan entrant, or simply a curious citizen, you're invited.

Please see the enclosed invitation/RSVP and join us aboard the Michigan Princess Riverboat. This complimentary evening will feature a running slideshow of hundreds of breathtaking Michigan photos from volunteer photographers from across the state, a Michigan-themed dinner, and a keynote address by national political strategist Matthew Dowd, author of "Applebee's America" and a commentator for ABCNews.com.

Seating is limited. Please reserve your space today!
