  • The Meecheegander Missives
    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.

Hinds and the other entrants will have their artwork on display at the Old State Capitol beginning April 24, and cash prizes were awarded to the top three winners. Hinds is a self-taught artist who works predominantly in pastels after observing folk artist George Colin’s mastery of the medium. George and his wife, Winnie, were treasured neighbors and friends. Hinds grew up on a farm situated between Lincoln’s New Salem and Springfield and has many fond memories to draw from, including summer vacation adventures across America in the family’s tiny camper. Hinds shares his love of art with his wife, Lynn Snyder-Hinds, whose art graced the cover of the 2019-2020 Capital City Visitor.
