University of Michigan Club Manistee
(Serving Manistee and Mason and parts of Benzie, Lake, Wexford and Oceana Counties)
Mark your calendars early. The Greater Manistee Area U-M Alumni Club is again sponsoring a U-M Women’s Glee Club Concert on May 5th at the West Shore Community College Center Stage Theater.
The WGC tour is sparsely funded so we are looking for host families from the Manistee and Ludington area who can take two girls for the night of the 5th. If you can help, please email Joanna Collins (collij1946@yahoo.com) or call 231-723-4844.
Below is a little bit about the Glee Club. You can find out more at http://www.umich.edu/~wgc/
About the WGC
The University of Michigan Women's Glee Club is a choral ensemble representing undergraduate and graduate women from diverse fields across the U of M campus. Composed primarily of non-music majors, WGC gives female students the opportunity to express their love of music through performance, community outreach and travel. As a club, WGC allows students to meet a wide 
variety of friends who share a common interest in music. Founded in 1893, the WGC has a long history of enriching the university community and the lives of our hundreds of alumna. As we look to the past for inspiration, the members of the Women's Glee Club focus on the future and strive to become an enduring tradition at the University of Michigan.
The annual Sleighbell Festival will be coming soon. Our club has again offered to help the community by ringing the bell for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign.
The date for our participation will be Saturday, December 3, 2011.
We have offered to ring the bell from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Wahr’s fractal art work has been included in two national exhibits and will be presented in a Bridges exhibit in Portugal later this year.

On Friday October 15, 2010 President Dave Wild accepted an Award of Excellence for Student Relations at one of the Alumni Association’s Homecoming events on behalf of the Club. During the past year the Manistee Club has promoted student activities, programs, and recruitment efforts which garnered the Club the Outstanding recognition.
