Welcome Michigan Club to the upcoming 2022-23 year of fun and socialization.

Hope you all had a great summer. 

Below you will find the dates, food and entertainment, and the place to meet.  (please note –  we had to book another venue for February and March as there are concerts being held at the West Center) 

The Club has agreed to absorb entertainment costs for the near future. The meals are wonderful and catered by Sweet Peas.

The cost for the meals will be $23.00 for members and $26.00 for non-members for December, January, March, and April

January  – pizza cost for members $12.00 and $15 for non-members.

These costs just cover our expenses. We feel that the price is fair while the quality will remain excellent.  

Membership is $10.00 for the year. Those that paid last year  will be carried forward for this year because of the pandemic.

Please use this website – www.michiganclub.org  to become a member and reserve. We are still requiring a check to be sent to the address below as we investigate credit card payments. That will be a future goal.

Checks can be mailed to :

The Michigan Club, PO Box 232, Green Valley AZ 85622.

Please mail asap as we need to have reservation  numbers 5 days ahead for the caterer.

NOTE;  At the Feb get together we would like to have a silent auction to fundraise. If you have an item you would like to donate please let me know as  I will be preparing the auction sheets. Your support is truly appreciated.
