The Ann Arbor branch of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America invites the community to join this festive gathering for the 5th year in a row. International Vyshyvanka Day celebrates Ukrainian culture and embroidery traditions. The celebration will include traditional food vendors, embroidery demonstrations, and music. Proceeds benefit Hospitallers, a Ukrainian volunteer organization of paramedics who save lives on the front lines.

Queen Elizabeth II met with President Ford at the White House – not to mention with four of his predecessors and eight of his successors. Indeed, she met with more U.S. presidents than any other person in history. What did she do with that unprecedented access? Quite a bit, journalist Susan Page discovered in her new book, being published at the 100th anniversary of Elizabeth’s birth. Her Majesty was more than a stoic figure in a colorful hat, waving from a balcony. She was a deft diplomat, a shrewd judge of character and, by the way, a skilled mimic. She was also the most effective force maintaining Great Britain’s voice in the world even as its empire declined. A look at how she did that during her long reign, and at her sunny encounter with Jerry and Betty Ford during the Bicentennial celebration.

The University of Michigan’s campus has a long and deep history and every generation has cherished particular places, such as the campus zoo or the famous “Sleepy Hollow.” Many of these locations are now gone, but not forgotten. Join us to hear from Professor Jim Tobin as he traces U-M’s “lost campus” and how the campus’ changing spaces reflect broader patterns in university history.

May 22nd at 4 pm, Growing Hope will provide free seedlings to community members for pick-up in celebration of its 22nd birthday, while supplies last. This event will feature desserts and an evening of community building at the Urban Farm. Weather permitting, participants of all ages can enjoy a bounce house, music, and refreshments. This event is free and open to the community; no registration required.

A love song in three movements.
​

Over the course of three brief acts, the lives of weary waitress Lina and immigrant dishwasher Mikolaj play out in parallel universes—each a variation on a theme of longing, chance, and connection.
