Michigan Out-of-Doors University’s (MOOD U) first-ever Asian Carp
Summit taking place at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Lansing on Tuesday, September 13, 2011.
MUCC and MOOD U are teaming up with the Michigan Lodging and Tourism Association,
the Michigan Boating Industries Association, and the Consumers Energy Foundation to host
a one-of-a-kind summit featuring presentations and information from state and federal leaders
regarding one of the most publicized and controversial invasive species threatening our Great
Lakes today – Asian Carp.
The cost of attendance is $75 for breakfast, lunch, and a distinguished list of presenters including
Director of the Office of the Great Lakes Patty Birkholz, Assistant Attorney General Peter
Manning with an update on the State of Michigan’s legal strategies, Gary O’Keefe of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Michigan Senior Capitol Correspondent and host of “Off the Record”
Tim Skubick as our keynote speaker, and many others who are on the front lines of the battle
to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. Following the presentations there will also be an
opportunity to visit your legislators to discuss options and how they can help.
I hope you can take this opportunity to get the inside scoop on all that is being done to stop the
spread of Asian Carp and also get some insight as to what remains to be accomplished.

Sincerely,
Erin McDonough
