What's all the Hoopla?

The Ann Arbor office purchased three bike hoops to be placed around town in honor of the Ann Arbor Art Center's 100th Anniversary. Check out the fun-looking hoops near the court house, Zingerman's and Farmers' Market!

Here's Joe Fazio, resident director of Ann Arbor, with one of the hoops in our office lobby. The Center sent over a nice thank you letter and has framed this photo of the hoop with our women lawyers. Hip hoop hooray!
