Traverse City, Mich. (TVC), famous for being the Cherry Capital of the World, held a solidarity event last month. Six members from TVC attended, as well as Michigan Legislative State Coordinator Matthew Arington, and Minnesota Legislative State Coordinator Brian Vandeberg. The event was held at Lucky Jack’s Bowling Center and was organized by TVC Legislative Rep Josh Lunsford and TVC FacRep Ty Hayman.

Arington and Vandeberg gave a legislative update and answered questions about current FAA Reauthorization legislation. After the presentation, a few members stayed and bowled in solidarity. Vandeberg showed off his skills with a Turkey in the second game.
