The Bessemer Woman’s Club held their annual President’s Banquet at Sharon’s Coffee Company recently, kicking off their 2026-27 program year. Accepting membership dues and greeting new members, the members then enjoyed a delicious meal and fellowship.
The program featured Mandy Lake Bessemer City Manager who spoke about Iron Belt trail head project and the $227,800 grant received from the Michigan D and R Trust Fund.
The grant will help provide sidewalks , benches, drinking fountain and water filling station, landscaping, and rain garden., lighting and concrete pad for bike riding learning and ice rink as well as a
pavilion , picnic tables, and a restroom.
Goals of the project are to provide safe and comfortable access to use the trail to hike, walk, and ski.
The project is supported by not only the D and R Trust Fund grant but also other community organizations, businesses, and individuals through donations, match, and volunteering efforts.
