********************************
RULES FOR THE GROUP
· You must have a picture that shows your face.
· For any event where I have to make a group reservation (dinners), you must cancel within 36 hours of the event if you cannot attend. Failure to do so without an acceptable reason to me will result in your removal from the group. Please do not comment on the event that you cannot make it. It is not helpful and tends to make other people cancel on the event also.
· You are responsible for paying your bills at any event.
· You are responsible for transportation to and from the event. There will not be any official carpooling set up by any host. Since there is no official vetting of members of this group, please do not carpool with complete strangers by asking for rides from someone you have never met.

Learn more about AFC Ann Arbor here. (https://www.afcannarbor.com/)
Association Football Club Ann Arbor (AFC Ann Arbor) was founded in 2014 with the goal of creating a community based club that would promote the game on a larger scale.
The club was launched by a number of community members including former players, entrepreneurs, fans and families, creating a diverse ownership group, reflective of the greater Ann Arbor community.
After a successful first year in the regional Great Lakes Premier League (GLPL), the club made two major moves in the off-season hiring Head Coach & Sporting Director, Eric Rudland, as well as joining the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL).On October 25th, 2018, AFCAA announced the addition of a women’s semi-pro side, an exciting move heading into the fifth year of the club. The inaugural goal for the women’s side came from former Japanese Women’s National Team player, Mami Yamaguchi. After the inaugural season for the women were complete, The Mighty Oak announced a promotion from within the club, seeing Boyzzz Khumalo appointed as the women’s new head coach.
On November 9th, 2021, AFCAA announced a move to the newly-formed USLW league, bringing our men’s and women’s teams under the same organizational umbrella at the league level.
The women’s side earned their first piece of silverware on July 6, 2022, with a 5-1 thumping of Flint City AFC on the road in the Michigan Milk Cup women’s tournament final.

- No Host: Nerd Nite @ Live in Ann ArborLIVE, Ann Arbor, MI
Nerd Nite
I have another event this night, but am posting for FYI purposes.
Talks start at 7:00pm. These events are sponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library. Parking is $1.50/hr in the city parking structures. The surface lot across from the venue is $2.50/hr.
Gather ‘round for an evening of informed and informal talks from a friendly neighborhood expert! We’ll have three speakers, each presenting on a different topic and sharing interesting facts that you never knew you never knew! Past Nerd Nite speakers have led deep dives into topics from the legacy of Louis Pasteur, to the origin of elements, to how a trumpet works, to a dissection of romance novel tropes. So bring a friend, grab a drink, and enjoy an evening among fellow nerds. Be there and be square!
SPEAKERS
We’ll kick things off by getting to know the Bats of Washtenaw County. Have you ever noticed a bat zipping through the twilight sky? These night time flyers are some of the most important (and under-appreciated) mammals in our local ecosystems, as Kim Williams-Guillén will tell us. What started as a casual request from the Wayne County Conservation District to help stop the destruction of an imperiled wetland has turned into a larger program of discovery and collaboration to leverage study of these incredible animals to protect forests and wetlands from development. Learn how wetlands, forests, and bats contribute to a healthy ecosystem for all Michiganders!Kim is a scientist, conservationist, and regenerative farmer. After completing her Ph.D. on primate behavior, she developed an interest in bats. She completed a postdoc at the University of Michigan, studying the conservation and ecosystem services provided by bats in shade coffee plantations in Mexico. After working in academia and non-profit wildlife conservation, she started a regenerative farm in Romulus with her partner. She is also an adjunct professor at the U-M School of Environment, works part time for the Washtenaw County Conservation District, and supports citizen science work on bats in Southeast Michigan.
Next, Christina Liu will give us A Glimpse Into Open Source Communities. Inspired by the month and half period in 2024 where maps of Manhattan became Serbian, we’ll take a walk through the Rube Goldberg machine that is Wikipedia and examine how the transparent philosophies of both Open Street Maps and Wikipedia made it possible for strangers on the internet with no fancy credentials or logins to spectate the inner workings of open source communities.
Christina is a ceramicist based in Ann Arbor, with a background in pastry and web development. She finds open collaboration systems on the internet very, very fascinating, and hopes that this talk will encourage people to peek under the hood of the websites and applications we use every day!
What do memes, mirror neurons, and grassroots organizing have in common? Turns out—everything. To round out our evening, community engagement consultant and former elected official Kymmburleigh Clark unpacks how digital language—like GIFs, memes, and internet culture—can be used to build empathy, mobilize people, and literally rewire our communities for connection. Backed by neuroscience and real-life case studies, Kymm shows how emotionally intelligent content can activate civic engagement, build social trust, and train emerging technologies to reflect the world we want to live in.
Kymm Clark is an artist, entrepreneur, activist and former legislator. As the founder of LullCo Design Studio, Kymm blends creativity, activism, and tech to build community through unexpected mediums. Her work centers around visual language, accessibility, and rethinking how we connect, teach, and mobilize and restructure community in the digital age.
