During Spring of 2020, the village of Sanford, Michigan was impacted by catastrophic flooding caused by two mid-Michigan dam failures.

In partnership with the Central Michigan University College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, “The Sanford Voices Project” documents the personal histories of those affected by the disaster, and how they are recovering from it. When disaster struck this village, the community’s strength and resilience demonstrated that Sanford is Strong.

Sanford Village President, Dolores Porte; homeowner Glenn Moots; and Connie Methner, business owner, will discuss the experiences they had during the flood and the recovery process. Join us in the CMU Park Library Auditorium at 7 p.m. on September 16th for an evening of conversations and an exclusive advance screening of "The Sanford Voices Project" film.

This in-person event will be following CMU's COVID and masking guidelines. Please refer to the CMU Health & Wellness page for more details.
