Important‼
On Thursday, May 14, at our last meeting before the summer, President Emerita Mary Sue Coleman
will join us for the program. She does not wish to give a presentation but would like to answer questions
and have a discussion with the retirees. Since I will be interviewing her and leading the discussion, I
would like to have questions ready from you, our retirees. So, please email me your questions, and I
will group them and try to get as many answered as possible. Please do that as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Your President, Pat Butler
