Gichi-ayayaag Maawanji’idiwag (formerly “Elder Advisory Committee) is comprised of local residents 50 years and older. This social organization raises money and plans activities for the elders in Grand Portage and Hovland. They’ve taken trips to such places as Washington, DC; Black Hills, SD; and Madeline Island – and they’d love to have you participate on the committee working on ideas for their next trip. Each year they also host a fall color ride and lunch, Christmas banquet, berry picking in Canada, and many other fun activities. Meetings are held at the Elderly Nutrition Program on the 1st Monday of each month, starting at 5pm with a light supper always served.
