On December 3rd 2008 the Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund awarded a grant in the amount of $478,100.00 to Almira Township. This Ann Lake parcel will be for the benefit of existing and future residents and the surrounding area. It will create an open space and beach on Ann Lake, for the use and enjoyment of the public for swimming, picnicking, education and reflection. The Township along with the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy and Almira Citizens for Preservation have created a dynamic partnership to preserve this wonderful property as a lakefront park. Many Township residents, local businesses and many other volunteers are working together to raise cash donations. The next major fund raising event is scheduled for:

Saturday April 25th, 2009 a Dinner Auction at the Elks Club, Traverse City 6:00PM to 10:00PM
