Alumnae clubs across the country helped raise funds for the new building, selling everything from beads, baked goods, playing cards, napkins and doilies, face powder and cake mix. Many of the items sold to raise funds for the building and its furnishings are packed inside the cornerstone. The Michigan League houses offices and its rooms are much coveted for conferences and meetings, a function it shares with the Michigan Union, which opened its doors to unescorted women in the 1960s. The Friends of the Michigan League aim to preserve the heritage and the history of the building, acqure artworks, conduct tours and design and maintain the gardens. This fall, the Friends will co-host an open house to highlight the renovations that recently have taken place.
New members are always welcome.
