Please note that our meeting place has changed.  We will be meeting at 7:30 PM from now on in the classroom of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, which is located at 434 S. State Street on the U of M Campus, right across the street from Angell Hall and just to the north of the LSA Building.  Free parking is available after 6:00 in the University lot on Thompson Street, just south of William.  Paid parking is available in the Maynard Street parking lot just two blocks away.  Enter the Museum from the front door on State Street.

 

 

Meeting Topics:

 

February 2012:  Dan Wymer – longtime HVC member will discuss his artifacts and excavations in southern Michigan.

March 2012:  Jeff Sommer – program to be determined.

April 2012:  Rachel Caspari – evolution of grandparents.

May 2012:  Program to be determined.

 

Bob Love would also like to invite you to have dinner at the Cottage Inn Restaurant, 512 E. Williams Street, Ann Arbor, before the meeting.  We have reservations for 6:00 pm under "Love".  Please let me know by e-mail or phone 810-231-1474 if you are coming for dinner.

 

Just a reminder that chapter elections are in March.  I know it's early, but if you are thinking of running for or want to encourage someone to run for President, Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary now is the time to start thinking about it. Your dues must be paid for 2012 and a member of the Huron Valley chapter to vote in the chapter elections or run for a chapter office.

 

The Kelsey Museum of Archaeology U of M is offering several programs between now and June, designed to introduce children to archaeology.  The museum displays are very interesting and is someplace we should all visit.  The Museum hosts our monthly meetings with our gratitude.  More information can be obtained at 734 647 4167 or tegerr@umich.edu.

 

 

Ongoing Activities:

 

There is a dig on a sesquicentennial farm in the Brighton area, looking for historic evidence of farm life going back approximately 170 years.  If you would like more information on this, please contact me and I will get in touch with the organizer.
