The Community Foundation of St. Clair County has hired Gigi Mericka as the Program Manager for the Kellogg Foundation’s Access to Recreation Program in St. Clair County.

In her position, Gigi will coordinate several concurrent components of the Access to Recreation project, including a new endowment fund dedicated to accessibility issues, the state’s first public accessible treehouse at the Pine River Nature Center, new kayak and canoe launches at two public parks, and significant improvements to the public pool house in Algonac.
