Event reminder: this Wednesday, February 22, come to the Last Word in downtown Ann Arbor for the Mid-Winter Blues Happy Hour! However, the weather will be very un-wintry, with a projected high of 65°. Maybe I should have called it the Spring Tease Happy Hour? I'll be there when the Last Word opens at 5:00 PM. ~Sarah

Some of us might be planning on attending the Women's March on Washington on 1/21 or a similar local event. For those who are not able to make the trip to DC, Ginger Ogilvie '97 would like to know if any area Smithies are attending the march in Lansing:

"Greetings from East Lansing! I'm making plans to attend the Women's March on Lansing https://www.marchonlansing.org on Saturday, January 21st from 1-3pm. I was thinking that there might be other MI Smithies planning to attend and would like to get connected. Depending on interest, we could try to meet up prior, during or after the event. Message me here on facebook if you are interested! (Haven-Wesley '97 History)"

Event reminder: this Sunday, December 11, there is a book group discussion and exam care package assembly. Check the Events page for details!

Upcoming Event: Sunday, December 11 at 4:00 there will be a book discussion group meeting as well as exam care package assembly. See the Events page for details!

Seven women came together at Ravens Club last night to chat, drink, and nibble...I had a great time meeting new people (who knew I'm not the only one that walks their cat on a leash?!)

The next happy hour (date TBD) will be at the Chelsea Alehouse in Chelsea!

Happy Mountain Day! I am stuck at work, but I hope there are a few of you who are able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

"The mountains are calling, and I must go." -- John Muir

Happy Mountain Day, Smithies!

Enjoy your adventures!

A Smithie not from the area is looking for someone who works in development at the U of M. Anyone here fit the bill?

Event Reminder: Tomorrow, Friday June 24, is the first-ever Smith GLOBAL TEA gathering!
Plymouth Coffee Bean
884 Penniman Ave, Plymouth, MI 48170
I am going to try and be there right at 4:00 but I am coming from Ann Arbor after work so Friday traffic may interfere with my plans (it's been brutal lately).
Hope to see a lot of you there!

Don't forget....TONIGHT (Friday June 17) is the very informal Happy Hour at the Chelsea Alehouse in Chelsea. I will be there around 5:00. Look for me (Sarah) at the bar. :)

The long-dormant HAPPY HOUR is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Friday, June 17, 2016* at the Chelsea Alehouse (420 North Main St., Chelsea, MI, in the Clocktower Complex) at 5:00 PM I (Sarah Smalheer) will be holding down my usual seat at the end of the bar. Come out to the quaint little town of Chelsea and enjoy a beer (or cider, or wine, or tea) and unwind from the week.
