So gather up those items, get them to one of our locations, and let’s put together a CHAMPIONSHIP-LEVEL AUCTION!💪

And remember — this isn’t just another auction. Every item, every bid, and every bit of support helps ARA of Michigan fund our Winter Conference and other events throughout the year. 🏆

So, team… ARE YOU READY?!

📢 November 4 — Get your items in!
📢 November 11 — LET THE BIDDING BEGIN!

Let’s bring the energy, make some big plays, and WIN THIS AUCTION!🔥

ARA OF MICHIGAN — ONE TEAM. ONE GOAL. LET’S GO!💥

10/02/2026

BIG WIN! BOTH BILLS JUST PASSED THE SENATE!
A clean sweep! HB 4678 passed 36–0 (2 absent), and HB 4679 passed 36–0 (2 absent)! 💪

That’s a TOTAL TEAM EFFORT and a huge step forward. But this isn’t over yet!

We’re working to see if the House will come back before the elections. There’s an outside chance—and if they do, will be ready.

Next play: The House will need to concur in the Senate substitute, and then it’s on to the Governor’s desk.

One team. One goal. One more drive to the to complete the mission.

Let’s finish this drive! 💪
