It's our anniversary! Join us in celebrating 20 years of fair trade in Ann Arbor.
In October 2004, Ten Thousand Villages of Ann Arbor opened its doors on Main Street, becoming the first fair trade, non-profit handicraft retail store in the city. Thanks to you (our supporters, friends, volunteers, donors, and loyal customers), we have enjoyed an incredible two decades serving the Ann Arbor community in support of the Fair Trade principles: protecting the dignity and ensuring living wages of artisans across the globe. In recognition of 20 years as part of the Ann Arbor community, we invite you to join us for an in-store celebration on Sunday, October 13. Let's gather to reflect upon the past 20 years of impact, and commit to continued excellence in the next 20!

You lost us at "when I first voted for Trump". No credibility after that.
From someone who likely supported:
* Abusing the justice system to go after opponents
* Suspsended rights during COVID
* Lied about the origin of COVID
* Lied about the treatment of COVID
* Pretended every positive test for a virus was a COVID case
Supported? What an insane leap. Must say somewhat surprised to see you are a supporter of ridiculous conspiracy theories. You are wrong about us and wrong about much of what is on that little list.
Sunny, with a high of 87 and low of 66 degrees. Partly Cloudy during the morning, patchy rain nearby during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Appreciate the interest in serving Saline. At this point, looks as though he will win by acclimation. Wonder what would happen if there were more candidates than spots. Without understanding why, it would be difficult to support a candidate who withdrew their interest then popped back in last minute.
As you can see by the picture, Bret is active in the city events and gives countless hours to his community.
Apparently no one can work with the current mayor?
We see that a little differently. Plenty of folks who are working just fine with the current Mayor. Unfortunately, there are others who are small in number yet loud and vocal who seem to delight in spreading unfounded and ridiculous allegations and rumors, and not just regarding the Mayor.
Nice of the attorneys to clarify this language at this point rather than having the foresight to understand that language should never have been in the agreement to start with!
Perhaps the Township should have sought counsel from an attorney not involved in the original contract negotiations (and perhaps they did - do not know) before changing direction.
Final thought - perhaps the attorney(s) working with the Township on the agreement can provide an explanation as to why that language HAD to be as represented in the final version of the agreement/why protections against exactly what has happened were not put in place.
