The University of Michigan Women's Glee Club will perform in the Manistee High School Auditorium on Monday April 28th at 7 PM.  There is no charge, but donations will be accepted.  Bring any prospective U-M students that you know.  It should be a good time and a real showcase for the University.

On  December 27, the Manistee Club sponsored a bus trip to Traverse City to see a preview of the new Michigan movie, Mr. Art Critic, which starred Manistee native and U-M grad Toni Trucks (BFA '03).  Dave Wild did a yeoman job of organizing this fun event.

It's Fund Drive Season and the Manistee Area Club is again soliciting funds for our scholarship program.  You will be receiving a letter soon and don't ignore it.  Our goal is $250.00 from each alum in our club area.  We're U-M grads, successful business people, professionals, and educators.  This shouldn't be too much to ask.  If you click here, you will load the solicitation letter...just in case the snail mail version ended up in the circular file.  You can also donate directly into our account via the web by clicking here.  Don't forget to designate the Manistee Club.  We offer scholarships to all schools in our area, so even if you do not participate in club activities, your donation will potentially benefit the youth in your area.  Check out the Scholarship link on the left for details and past recipients.
