Annual Ann Arbor Support Group Potluck Picnic 2025

Our Annual Ann Arbor Support Group Potluck Picnic in August 2024

 

Our Ann Arbor Support Group held a potluck picnic in July to which 29 people attended and had a wonderful time connecting with old and new friends that we have been meeting with mostly via Zoom these past 3+ years.  We experienced sunshine and temperatures around 80 degrees - very comfortable in the shade and with a light breeze.  We hope to increase our in-person meetings to be more frequent, but have been doing so slowly due to the continued concern for covid as well as other types of infection. An outside event helps everyone be more comfortable with the closer contact with larger groups.
