Annual Meeting & Silent Auction
Thursday, May 9
11:30 am, Ann Arbor City Club

Members and their guests are cordially invited to partake of food, festivity and fun on Thursday May 9 at our annual meeting, featuring a special plated luncheon and a fabulous Silent Auction to raise monies for our Foundation fund.

We've got a wide range of exciting items for your bidding consideration, from a Lewis Jewelers gift certificate ($250 value), a Revel & Roll bowling and arcade party ($240 value), museum passes and concert tickets, to a variety of offerings from local merchants, salons and restaurants. And did we mention PLANTS? Many local nurseries and garden stores have been very generous with plants, gift certificates and merchandise you'll want for your home garden!

This is our last general meeting of the season, so along with the fun, there's much to be done! Members, you'll be picking up your Garden Walk tickets; Garden Walk posters, postcards, and lawn signs will be ready for volunteers to distribute; signups for Garden Walk jobs will be open; and we'll attend to organizational business.

Please RSVP using the SignUp Genius invitation email by MAY 1. Click here to make your lunch selection and payment.
