Membership News: Normally on this page we would announce upcoming events at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. However, due to City of Detroit budget problems, the City of Detroit and the Detroit Historical Society have been working on an agreement to keep the Detroit Historical Museum and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum open. When we went to press, the agreement was not finalized as of yet, so we will inform you when the information becomes available. Your membership dues notice is enclosed. We ask that you send your payment to our post office box, not to the Dossin Museum. Mail will only be delivered to the museum on Saturday, and by sending it to the post office box, we can process membership renewals in a timely manner. We also ask that donations to the webcam be sent to the post office box for the same reason. Our new address is GLMI, P.O. Box 1990, Dearborn, MI 48121. If you have inquiries concerning your GLMI membership, we can be reached at mcgrawka@sbcglobal.net or phone message at 313-791-8452. Webcam inquiries can be handled through our website: web@glmi.org. For those interested in obtaining information from the Dossin Museum collections, please call 313-833-1805. This phone is answered daily.
