For Ugly Sweater Day, Meemic employees got to don their ugliest apparel, though most of the “ugly sweaters” were actually pretty cool.

Meemic and our friends at AAA pretty much took over Super Bowl Lanes in Canton, MI, for the 2019 Bowl for Kids’ Sake fundraiser, which raised money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit. Meemic bowlers contributed more than $11,000 toward a total of more than $80,000 for BBBS’ mentorship programs. Way to go, teams!

A little (OK, a lot) of rain couldn’t dampen our spirits, and several Meemic employees dressed up in their Halloween best. It helps that we’re inside, though.

Several agents teamed up to provide hundreds of bottles of water to Flint.

Our agents often like to drop in at schools with donuts or cakes or other care packages, but Teacher Appreciation Week really gets them wearing out their shoe leather. For example, the Williams Insurance Agency in Monroe, MI, created care packages filled with lots of goodies.

On Monday, May 14th, we invited our most loyal Meemic Members to celebrate them. These Members have been with Meemic for 60 or more uninterrupted years.

Meemic held its traditional Souper Bowl chili / soup cook-off, which raised $640 to support this year’s school volunteer events. Congrats to the winning teams: People’s Choice – Information Systems, Best Presentation – Marketing / eCommerce, Healthiest – Customer Service / Direct Sales and Spiciest – Underwriting / Product / Actuarial / Finance. All awards were well deserved.

Forty-eight bowlers, family members and friends converged on Classic Lanes in Rochester Hills, MI, to raise money for The Meemic Foundation’s Needy Schools Project to purchase supplies for a Michigan school in need. Thank you to all the participants and to Classic Lanes for hosting. A similar fundraiser was held in Illinois.

A team from Meemic recently had the pleasure to help package soups for sale at Motown Soup in Utica, part of Trinity Lutheran Church. The charity sells a variety of soup mixes, baking mixes and more, and the proceeds help several local soup kitchens around Metro Detroit. Visit www.MotownSoup.com to order online or sign up to volunteer. You won’t be disappointed.

Around the holidays, Meemic employees donated piles of toys for The Bottomless Toy Chest, an organization that delivers gifts year-round to hospitalized pediatric cancer patients. We’re so glad we can bring some smiles to kids stuck in a rotten situation.

We at Meemic are happy to offer our hearty congratulations to Cara Lougheed, Michigan's Teacher of the Year for 2019-20. Cara is an English and history teacher at Stoney Creek High School in Rochester Community Schools, MI. Here she is with Meemic Foundation director Pam Harlin, current Michigan Teacher of the Year - MTOY Laura Chang and presenting Meemic agent Michele Beitelshees. You can find out a bit more about her at Meemic.com/MTOY.

Meemic employees donated food baskets filled with nonperishable food items, toys, gift certificates and all the trimmings to create the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. The baskets went to 17 families from Walt Whitman Elementary in Pontiac, MI.
