Join us at the 10th Annual Passport 2 Pittsfield (P2P) Open House!
Pittsfield Charter Township will host its 10th Passport 2 Pittsfield (P2P) Open House on Sunday, May 6, 2017 from 1:00-4:00 PM. All are welcome to hop onto a AAATA bus and visit four Township facilities: Township Hall (6201 W. Michigan Ave.), Public Safety (6227 W. Michigan Ave.), Utilities Field Office (4467 Concourse Drive), and Parks & Recreation at Lillie Park (4365 Platt Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48108).
“Conceived of as a way to showcase ongoing projects, over the course of a decade, this annual event has transformed into a vibrant family-friendly space where folks of all age groups have hands-on activities to engage with: ranging from community art project to planting trees to doing a mock planning and building process using recycled materials. We hope you stop by and enjoy the 10th P2P on Sunday,” notes Supervisor Mandy Grewal.
This free event gives area residents an inside look into how Pittsfield Township conducts its work on behalf of its residents. Each department will host family-friendly activities to show a sample of life in public service. Visitors will receive a P2P passport that can be stamped as they participate in each activity.
