It’s been a crazy summer and the third quarter fundraiser sort of got forgotten so we’re a bit late this time around. I’ll keep it short and sweet today. Every day we deliver rich content to you in bite-sized pieces to keep you informed and in-the-know. In return, we ask you to give a little bit back so that we […]

We’ll also have a chance to bestow a living legend with a title that would have baffled the Founders: John Dingell will be named Dean of Twitter. Dingell will join us at the Arbor Brewing Company Microbrewery in Ypsilanti […]
