Last Wednesday a caravan of about 15 LSRC members travelled to Ann Arbor for the re-dedication of the Student Union on the campus of the University of Michigan for a special dinner, music and speaker John Hewko, General Secretary & Executive Officer of Rotary International Rotary Club of Kyiv, Ukraine
The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor returned to its historic home, the newly refurbished Michigan Union Rotarians from District 6380, 6400 and surrounding districts. Community leaders, spouses and friends were welcomed for an evening with music, dinner and John Hewko’s inspiring words about “Why Rotary Matters”.
Hewko oversees the executive staff who manage operations at Rotary International World Headquarters, including member services and programs, finances, technology, development, strategy and legal services. He is a renowned and much sought after international speaker.
Below is John Hewko posing with our exchange students Gabi and Elias. To the right they are with Don "Sparky" Leonard our District 6380 Governor. And at the bottom, the Beebees enjoy dinner, music and other Rotarians.
