ANNOUNCING OUR 2026 Spring Gala

We invite you into a world of intrigue and enchantment at the Secret Garden Gala. For one evening, Ann Arbor City Club will be transformed into an intimate garden dinner hidden in lush florals. Drink, dine, and dance with us on Saturday, May 9, as we raise funds to support the A2SO’s Learning & Community Programs.
