Is it up or down?

Rotate Your Ceiling Fans CorrectlyChanging the rotation of your ceiling fan can save you heating and cooling costs. Fans should turn clockwise, at a low speed, during the winter to pull the warm air up and around the room. During the summer, set them to counterclockwise to push the cold air down. While a fan won’t actually change the temperature of the room, the warm or cool air on your skin will make you feel warmer or colder and you’ll be more likely to give your thermostat a break. Note: Most fans have a switch that can be flipped to change direction, while newer models offer the option on the wall panel.

IMPORTANT for anyone who rents their property...


​The Michigamme Township Board has passed a Short Term Rental Ordinance to minimize impact to our beautiful lake and to protect nearby property owners. All who intend to rent their vacation home on a short-term basis must apply for a rental permit from the Township Office by October 31, 2019. The application fee is $10.00. If a permit is granted, an additional $40.00 will be collected.
Those who do short-term rentals without a permit will be subject to fines, or may be denied a permit in the future.

Have you paid your LMPO dues? 
Only $25 per property. 
​So what does that money go towards?
1.  BUOYS - Take them out each fall, clean, repair, replace as needed and again put them out each summer.  (Also the insurance and upkeep of the LMPO pontoon boat used.)
2.  DAM - We pay taxes, maintenance and inspection (inspection was $1400 this year)  for the dam property.
3.  MAPS - We purchase lake maps for the membership every 5 years, and we distribute complimentary copies of the lake directory to dues paying members.
4. LAKE QUALITY -  We also test multiple sites around the lake for coliform bacteria, and we pay for of the dam.    We have funds earmarked for fish cribs, but progress has been limited by the DNR’s restrictive permitting.
5.  SPECIAL PROJECTS - We also support special projects that benefit the community. We purchased the dock for the Michigamme Township Park and this year we donated $1400 toward a modern sound system for the Township Hall’s gymnasium. We regularly donate to the July 4th Committee and the museum’s annual fundraisers. 
6.  MICHIGAMME MESSENGER - This is the yearly newsletter that was given out at the annual meeting.  We unfortunately have had difficulty resurrecting the Michigamme Messenger.  Any Volunteers?
7. 
ANNUAL MEETING-  Last, but certainly important.  The donuts, hot dogs and chicken for the meeting.


Museum still needs
​YOUR help!

  Talk about coming home!  The construction has now started on the Museum building!  Although the outside is really showing improvement, there is MUCH to do on the inside.  Support the museum in any way possible.  Let's get the inside electric and other finishes done soon.  If you can't make the regular soup or salad dinners, you can always help by sending a donation to:
​
PO 220  Michigamme, MI 49861
(make checks payable to Michigamme Museum)

Please follow the rules for recycling as if too many loads are contaminated, we may need to stop the program. Every Marquette County resident got a letter from 906 Recycle with the proper materials to place in the recycle bins or in our case the trailers.

​Absolutely no open burning! Possibly through the end of the week. Fire danger is extremely high. Even if we get some small rain showers, dead grass and underbrush are extremely dry. No clue how long the power will be out. If you, or you know someone who needs assistance because of the power outage please message me or call the Michigamme hall. If it’s an emergency, call 911. Please be safe.
