May 15    A2Y Chamber Event: Early Edition - May 2024
 A Celebration of Teachers and the Teaching Profession in Washtenaw County

Ryan believes that every student in Washtenaw County can graduate high school knowing what excites them, how different applied learning experiences Pre-K through 12th grade can affirm and fuel that excitement, and how students can create a plan for their own success.

The Teacher of the Year Program recognizes the great contribution teachers make in Washtenaw County and to the learning community. This award recognizes and honors teacher excellence.

The LaFontaine Family wishes to honor the amazing teachers within Washtenaw County and recognize them for the hard work and efforts they put in every single school year.

Aug 26    A2Y Chamber Golf Outing Presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield


The course at Barton Hills Country Club is an 18- hole Donald Ross Classic that
seamlessly blends with the natural terrain of the hills giving a fully immersive experience. Each hole provides challenge and intrigue whether you're new to the game or experienced.
One of the most popular events on the Chamber's calendar, the Annual Chamber Golf Outing presented by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan attracts a wide range of decision makers, community leaders and entrepreneurs from a variety of businesses while providing an opportunity to play 18 holes of extraordinary golf at Barton Hills Country Club.

Scramble Format:
Each player in the group tees off and the best shot is chosen.  The remaining players pick up their ball and play from the selected shot.  This is repeated until the ball is holed.  Players may move their ball one club length no closer to the hole while remaining in the same condition.  Players may move their ball one putter head length no closer to the hole on the green.  Generally, ties are broken using a scorecard playoff with the lowest score on the most difficult holes being the tiebreaker.
