Even More Stuff Dropped
|
|
|
Many of you already know that the Ann Arbor Summer Festival dropped one of the club's favorite warm weather activities this year-- Top of the Park-- plus other elements of the festival. And, there won't be an Ann Arbor Art Fair this year. Details below. |

BOD Votes Down 2020-2021 Ski Trips...For Now |
The Board of Directors made the difficult decision this week to not approve trips proposed by the Ski Trips Committee. The BOD was forced to make this decision as they considered the risk of depositing funds with travel agencies as we normally do at this time of year. The Committee, led by Lane Hotchkiss with support from Irene Ruthven, Carol Metty, and Greg Robertson, prepared plans for a typical slate of trips Out West and Up North. And, they did their best to negotiate a safer option for the club than risking our funds with companies that might go out of business due to the pandemic. Despite their efforts it didn't work out. |
|
|
But, They Haven't Give Up Yet
|
They plan on revisiting the issue in August or September when we'll be closer to prospective travel dates. And, we'll be further along in the world's response to the Covid pandemic.
|
|
The Trip Planning Committee and BOD still hope to put together a Schuss Instructional trip, one to Terrace Inn, and one or more Out West.

TOP Stopped
|
A2SF made this announcement last week. |
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Festival has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel both the traditional Top of the Park series and the indoor ticketed performances, scheduled for June 12 – July 5. The Festival plans to present new, adapted activities this summer including digital offerings, collaborative art projects, and live music reimagined. We have envisioned plans for various environments, and look forward to presenting as many of them as possible. Sign up for our enews list for the latest announcements and program offerings.

It is with heavy hearts that the Directors of the four individual Ann Arbor Art Fairs come together to announce the decision to cancel the 2020 Ann Arbor Art Fair. This was an extremely difficult decision, as we know how deeply this impacts the participating artists, local businesses and the broader Ann Arbor community. We invite you to join us once again as downtown Ann Arbor transforms into an art lovers paradise the third week of July 2021!

If you do you will see a small pop-up window telling you that your membership expired. But, it hasn't really. The BOD extended membership until the end of August. So, why the pop-up? The club's webmaster turned off the renewal mechanism that causes email reminders to be sent, but for logins the system reads your profile and finds a renewal date of May 1, therefore it pops up that message. The solution, of course, is for an admin to update everybody's profile renewal date field. Perhaps that will get done before August 1. We're 325 strong so that's a lot of updating! There is a way to mass update, but it requires a couple procedures we haven't done since day one of this server six years ago. We're studying. |
