Join or Die Film Screening & Join Fair

Zonta will set up a table at this event.
A screening of the film “Join or Die”, that explores the importance of community and civic engagement, will be followed by a “Join Fair”.
In this Emmy-nominated feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.
Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Priya Parker, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Jane McAlevey, Hillary Clinton, and Eddie Glaude Jr. — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?
Offered in partnership with the Rotary Club of Petoskey.

Program Meeting
2026-02-05 12:00 - 13:00 | First Presbyterian Church, 501 E Mitchell St, Petoskey, MI, 49770
We will be joined by members of the Leadership Little Traverse Class of 2026 to share with us an exciting new project they are helping support in the community.
Leadership Little Traverse (LLT) is a professional leadership program with a mission to inspire and prepare civic leaders in the Little Traverse Bay Region to take action and better our community. There are over 350 LLT alumni and this year’s class will be the 25th to complete the program.
Each year, LLT participants undertake a class-wide Community Service Project. Selected by the class, each project challenges the program’s emerging leaders to step-up and make a positive impact on the community.

The LLT class of 2026 selected to support InvestMitt Cooperative for this year’s project. InvestMitt Cooperative is a recently formed 501c(3) non-profit that serves to be a new “tool in the toolbox” to aid in the affordable housing crisis. InvestMitt aspires to acquire, manage, and develop local real estate – especially housing that is attainable for the local workforce – in Emmet and Charlevoix counties. InvestMitt also would like to be able to provide low-interest financing for projects that meet community housing needs, reduce development costs, and help make homes more affordable.

This organization is led by a local, volunteer Board of Directors and is focused on growing their Community Investment Fund (CIF) to help them achieve their goals. A CIF provides an option for more people – not just the wealthy few – to invest their money into a fund that will be used to collectively purchase and maintain community-serving properties. While new to our area, CIFs have proven successful across the country in helping communities address the affordable housing shortage problem.

Those interested in getting involved can become a member of the InvestMitt Cooperative for an annual minimum $25 contribution, or become an investor with a minimum investment of $500. Go to https://www.investmitt.org/donate to learn more and contribute!
