Special Events Committee
The Special Events Committee conducts monthly events for the entertainment and education of our members and guests. Typical events are a bus trip to a sporting event or play, a visit to a museum or other point of interest, a cruise on one of the local waterways, and a tour of local attractions.
Each event is conducted by a three-or-four-man-team. If you would like to be part of the Special Events Committee, contact Mike Clement at 248-644-4963 or email him at clem897@aol.com. No prior experience running events is needed. We’ll train you in what to do, and you’ll enjoy doing it!
