On October 10th, the Harper Woods Rotary Club celebrated their 50th Anniversary at the Harper Woods Community Center.  Many of the Harper Woods Rotarians and spouses were in attendance. Other guests from several Rotary Clubs were also present. The event began with the fabulous Harper Woods High School Jazz Band performing jazz classics in a very superb and professional manner. Their conductor had very little work to do.

The local Wayne County Commissioner presented a proclamation signed by all Wayne County Commissioners to Harper Woods President Phil Potter. Following a sensational dinner several people said a few words.  Rotarian Ron Greve gave a quick summary history of the Harper Woods Rotary Club. Former Ambassadorial Scholar Rima Abou Mrad congratulated Harper Woods Rotary Club for 50 years of service and again expressed her deep profound thanks for supporting her as an Ambassadorial Scholar. Two Harper Woods High School Interact Officers gave a brief summary of their recent service projects and fund raisers.

The highlight of the evening began when Detroit Rotarian and Past Assistant District Governor Trey Greene introduced the key note speaker PDG Jennifer Jones. She praised the mighty Harper Woods Rotary Club for all their achievements.  She emphasized The Power of One to make a positive difference in our communities. She asked several Harper Woods Rotarians to come forward to express thier most memberable moments in their Rotary Club. Then she invited all the Harper Woods Rotarians and spouses come next to her followed by the Past and Future District Governors & spouses. She presented a cedar tree as a symbol of long life and endurance for 50 years of SERVICE by the Harper Rotary Club! Jennifer Jones concluded with a presentation of a certificate from Past RI President Wilf Wilkinson of the official 50th Anniversary of Harper Woods Rotary Club to President Phil Potter
