Community Theatre of Howell to Lease Space at Barnard Center |
|
|
|
At its recent meeting, members of the Howell City Council unanimously voted to approve a one year lease agreement with the Community Theatre of Howell to lease the entire lower level of Barnard Community Center beginning on February 1, 2008. The lease will allow the Community Theatre of Howell to expand its theatrical programs by having an alternative space for rehearsals and educational offerings. The Community Theatre of Howell's primary location will remain at the Howell High School Freshman campus where they lease space from the Howell Public Schools. The Barnard Center will offer them alternative space when productions overlap and rehearsal space is at a premium.
Their programs and productions are some of the finest in the County and we are pleased to provide them additional space to expand their offerings. Visit their website to learn more at www.cththeatre.org |

 We know that many of you are beginning to think about summer and we want to help you prepare to enjoy the summer sun and waves.
This basic boating course is intended for boaters ages 12 and up. Because boating is often a family activity, all members of the family are encouraged to attend. Topics to be covered include: safe boating practices, state of Michigan legal requirements and regulations, boating skills and terminology. This is a Department of Natural Resources approved course and satisfies the State of Michigan requirements for a Michigan Boater Safety Certificate.
We have scheduled two sessions for the boaters safety course. The first one will take place beginning March 10 - March 13 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6-9 p.m. at the Bennett Recreation Center.
The next session will take place beginning April 8 - April 10 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6-9 p.m. at the Barnard Community Center.

Photo's can be submitted day or night via mail or by e-mail to parksandrec@ci.howell.mi.us with your name, address, phone, township and e-mail on the back of each photo.
