📰 News we're reading
• GFWC hosts district clubs at lakeside venue in Esky (dailypress.net) — Menominee is represented in a big way within GFWC Michigan's District 5, with a Menominee club and district president Eileen Beyer helping lead a recent meet-and-greet and annual meeting in Escanaba. Club leaders shared service ideas, raised funds for Tri-County Safe Harbor, and heard updates on women's health and Bay Cliff, while also inviting Upper Peninsula women, including from Menominee, to get involved. 
• How restoration efforts helped Marinette County recover its forests, streams, and future (resilience.org) — Residents of Menominee live along a river that was once so polluted it became a Great Lakes "Area of Concern," but decades of cleanup have now led to its delisting and healthier fish. This long-form story traces Marinette County's logging, wildfire, and industrial past, the shared Menominee River restoration, and how Indigenous-informed stewardship could guide future land-use decisions on both sides of the border.
