I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the community foundation for the donations that have allowed us to equip our officers with these life saving devices in our community.
- Officer Justo Burgos – Milan (MI) Police Department
We are wanting Milan to be better from the ground up!
- Sue Kesterson – Milan, MI
If not for the excellent training, the excellent performance and the quick deployment of the AED by Officer Burgos, this individual may have lost his life; but instead his life was saved. Thanks to the community foundation for the donation that allowed us to equip our officers with these life-saving devices (AED) in our community.
- Gerard Scherlink – Milan, MI
I was really pleased with the way the Gala Event was handled. What a great crowd. Afterwards, I have run into friends who were there, and I didn’t actually see them because there was such a tremendous turnout!

GMACF Dinner
The Milan Eagle
By Milan Eagle media
Greater Milan Area Community Foundation (GMACF) held their 12th Annual Gala Fundraiser on March 3 at the Marriott at Eagle Crest. This years’ theme for the Dinner Auction was Saluto Milano. Tables were decorated with flowers and wine to be shared and Italian cheesecake, tiramisu and cannoli for tasty desserts.
Clara’s Closet
The Greater Milan Area Community Foundation reached out to me asking if I would want to share a story. A story of endurance, love, and real compassion. I was given the opportunity to sit down and talk to Melissa Buie. She is the creator of Clara’s Closet located in Milan Michigan. Melissa has a heart for children unlike any I’ve seen in a long time. She goes above and beyond to help children out who need it the most, through giving of her time, resources, and her heart. What an amazing story that I hope you’ll enjoy.
Clara’s Closet is located in Milan Michigan. If you would like to donate and or help out please contact Melissa at buiem@milanareaschools.org
