Meemic has partnered with Avondale High School in Avondale School District, to form the Meemic-Avondale Insurance Institute. Students will get regular hands-on experience with members of the insurance industry. More than just job shadowing, the initiative offers opportunities like this one, where students visited a fire loss site.

Several people from Meemic (employees and their families) participated in the Making Strides Oakland County Michigan walk for breast cancer awareness and research on Oct. 7. Team Meemic raised $500 toward more than $50,000 total for the event.

Four members of the Meemic Riders (Chris, Tammy, Holly and Lisa) took part (along with our friends at AAA, the ACG Riderz) in the fifth annual Ride 4 Recovery. The event celebrates recovery, supports the individuals and families suffering and recovering from addiction, and raises awareness of the behavioral health and substance use disorders that affect our communities.

Meemic had some special guests! Kids were our invited guests to help us learn about what animation styles are preferred at their age. (This one might not have been the most popular.) This will help Meemic with ideas we’re developing to support teachers in the classroom.

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.

Go, Team Oddballs! We went out to support our amazing coworkers at the Auburn Hills Civic Center. Thanks for the great game, everyone!

It was a Christmas trifecta on Ugly Sweater Day: tree, presents and elf!

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.

Meemic volunteers were on hand as dozens of students, mostly from junior high and high school, learned about various careers at Utica Community Schools’ annual Career Expo. The volunteers discussed the diversity of careers available in the insurance industry, including agent, human resources, claims, software development, marketing, customer service, project management and more. Meemic employees visit several career fairs throughout the year.
