We invite you to support the Rotary Club of Dearborn as we celebrate 100 years of “Service Above Self” in the local community and worldwide. This event will feature a strolling dinner with music provided by the HFCC Big Band under the baton of conductor, Kevin Dewey. We’ll then move to the auditorium and soak up the sounds of THE TEMPTATIONS REVIEW featuring the legacy of DENNIS EDWARDS with an opening performance by Thornetta Davis, Detroit’s Queen of the Blues! This type of event only happens once every 100 years. Come celebrate with us!!

Founded in 1923, we are the oldest service organization in Dearborn – making a difference both locally and internationally. Following are some of the more recent ways:

• Awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships since 1999 to graduating high school seniors, nursing students and veterans
• Partnered with Henry Ford College to build Kingfisher Bluff overlook on the Rouge River
• Partnered with UM-Dearborn to fund Environmental Interpretive Center Quiet Room
• Annual donations to Dearborn Public Library for purchase of new books
• Introduction and funding of “My Potential Mentoring Program” in local high schools
• Two decades of funding and support for children and families in Chinandega, Nicaragua
• Planted trees at Salina Elementary, Greenfield Village and Rouge/Fort Street Heritage Park
• Donations of food and supplies to children, families, health care and municipal workers impacted by Covid 19 pandemic
• More than three decades of volunteer work for Meals on Wheels and Telegraph Clean-up

With monies raised from our 100th anniversary celebration, the Rotary Club of Dearborn will fund a community project to help renovate the auditorium of Dearborn’s Henry Ford Centennial Library, making it more accessible to individuals and groups. Your support to benefit this wonderfully diverse community is welcomed.

Sincerely yours,

Cornholio Tournament to Benefit Polio Eradication!

Lets Eradicate Polio!  Joint service project with the Rotary Club of Hines Park PM and the Rotary Club of Dearborn Heights.  

What is more fun than golf on an exceptional golf course for the benefit of raising money for scholarships for deserving Dearborn students? Nothing. In 2022, Dearborn Rotary gave away over $72,000 in scholarships to deserving students. One of the ways we can do that is with our Hugh Archer Golf Outing, which happened August 1st. Great fun was had at Dearborn Country Club with friends who came to play and enjoy fellowship with amazing people doing great work for the community. The winners are shown here. Thanks to all our sponsors for their continued support. A special thank you to Jim Ives for taking all the photos.  Go to “Photos” for pictures of the day.

Rotary members from District 6400, which spans from Wayne and Lenawee County in Michigan to Windsor and Essex Counties in Ontario will be showcasing their impact on September 17, 2022, where they will participate in a Day of Service throughout the region. 

The 1,500 members in the district’s 52 clubs have long supported their communities through a range of service projects. On the Day of Service, clubs will work on projects simultaneously to illustrate to themselves and to their communities their far-reaching impact.

“The clubs in our district do a terrific job of taking our motto of Service Above Self  to heart,” said District 6400 Governor Traci Sincock. “Sometimes we get so involved in our own projects, though, that we forget to see the big picture. By coordinating some of the projects to take place in one 24-hour period, we can step back and see just how big the impact of our entire district is.”

Projects on September 17 will include food banks and birthday boxes, clothing and book drives, garden and park cleanups, community picnics and events, and fundraising bike rides, runs, and golf tournaments.  Two clubs in Livonia, Michigan will be delivering beds they have built for needy families.

Rotary members throughout the world take action to make communities better. They contribute their time, energy, and passion to carry out meaningful and sustainable projects that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, help mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies.

Rotary’s top priority is the global eradication of polio. Rotary launched its polio immunization program, PolioPlus, in 1985 and in 1988 became a leading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
