  • “Coming to game night was a great way to just chill and have fun. Having something to do every Monday night and being out of my employee housing made my week so much more enjoyable.”

    Theresa Brown, Taxi Driver

  • “Having a chance to connect and meet other people is very important. Mackinac island is a melting pot, and I enjoyed getting to know others on Mondays.”

    Bernie Thompson, Dock Porter

  • “My employer made sure we knew about Game Night every Monday. Each week, we’d play cards, or bingo and we loved the pizza. There were 4-5 of us from different countries - Russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines. Weekly time together created at bond between us that spilled over at work. I will never forget the fun we had at Mackinac Connect.”

    Sabina, Retail Clerk

  • "My home is in Guatemala and my English is not that good. Because of these lessons, I feel better about myself and know that I am growing better in communicating with others at work.”

    Jorta, Chef

  • “This is the first time I have come to the employee meal and I wish I had known about it sooner. The food is so good and it is so nice to just sit here and have time to relax and talk with my friends.”

    Anonymous

  • “Volunteering my time at ESL has been a most rewarding experience for myself and my wife Karen.”

    Karl Deck, Summer Resident
