HIGHLIGHTS Upcoming Alumni Events/Activities In keeping with the Alumni Association's continuing effort to bring alumni into the city, we are planning a guided morning walking tour of the Greektown-Bricktown areas on Saturday, July 23 followed by a luncheon in the historic St. Andrews Society. In the afternoon of July 23 there will be a tour of the Detroit Salt Mine which has long been an intriguing experience but a tour offered only very infrequently. We can accommodate 100 alumni, and the popularity of this tour is illustrated by the fact that we had re­ ceived at least 200 inquiries a month in advance of the tour. • The Alumni Association will sponsor its second Annual Wayne State University Day at Boblo Island on Saturday, July 30. This ticket package includes lunch as well as all attractions and amusements on the island. Over 150 alumni and friends attended last year. The Annual Shaw Festival Weekend will depart on August 5 with two full busloads of alumni. This event was sold out 6 weeks in advance. From August 7 to 22, the Alumni Association will offer "The Best of the British Isles", featuring famous sites and natural beauties in four countries. A capacity crowd of 80 alumni have already reserved for this tour. Another in our annual series of Black History Tours will be held on August 13. It will focus on the Underground Railroad from Detroit to Canada and visit significant sites on both sides of the Detroit River. Another Detroit adventure will be a behind-the-scenes visit at the Eastern Market on August 23. This guided tour will provide an early morning orientation to this interesting downtown area and conclude with breakfast at Butchers Inn .
