Hello Michigan!

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year! The new year is a time for goals, resolutions, and progress; as such, MASC and MAHS have composed a number of upcoming programs and advancements for your benefit.

As one of the premier technologically advanced state associations in the country, MAHS/MASC is proud to offer an outstanding new website that will keep you better informed, more connected, and allow you to get what you need done quickly. Have fun! Brows around, create an account, and take advantage of this wonderful progression!

Don't forget about the State Charity! I can't believe that the school year is almost half over...make sure to get your charity donations in! Above any other charity, “Alternatives in Motion” is undoubtedly the charity that inspires student leaders in Michigan the most. Get creative! Way to go Menominee High School for collecting over 1,500 in one week through their "Charity Week!”

Conferences are fast approaching! If you are interested in hosting or attending any of the MASC/MAHS upcoming regional conferences, you will note that information can be found on our website---I encourage you to present a project or idea at these conferences! If you haven’t done so already, make sure to register for the MAHS/MASC State Conference held at the Grand Traverse Resort this spring. As always, this year's state convention will be an outstanding opportunity for you to gain insight, network with other students, and have lots of fun!

Questions? Comments? Concerns?---Contact me! I'm here to help and represent YOU.

In leadership,

Casey C. Hoffman

MAHS President
