Inventors make it happen

The Inventors’ Council of Mid-Michigan monthly meeting is a great place to move an idea forward. The group meets in Burton, which is east of Flint. The next meeting is 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 13 at Walli’s, 1341 S. Center Road, Burton. The meetings help inventors pursue their dreams of bringing new and innovative products to market and includes networking time, guest speaker and time for members to showcase new products.
