Welcome

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

Greetings Friends,

Welcome!  The club is formulating ways to unite members with each other and the community.   The zest and zeal of autumn have arrived, summoning us to gather once more and connect with events to stimulate your mind and bolster your network.   
 

Dedication to our motto of being "More than a Club",  helped better the lives of local children.  In September, we worked with the NHL-Players Association on a charity and tribute event to honor our late member Bob Goodenow, and supported the child recipients of his "Goals and Dreams" initiative at Clark Park Detroit.   It was an inspirational day!
 

Our recent MIT Collaboration, the "Michigan Innovation Forum", was a huge success and we hope to do more joint events in the future.  Many thanks to Mykolas Rambus for sharing his entrepreneurial wisdom.  Held at the beautiful Cambria Detroit, the renovated site of the world's first commercial radio station, it was a historical gem and we thank the entire team for delivering outstanding customer service.
 

Solemn Update:  We mourn the loss of Kristin Demorest Hayes (Harvard College 2006, Varsity Lacrosse, Pforzheimer House), a remarkable woman, cherished by all.  She was a Mother and the beloved daughter of our dedicated board member Mark Demorest, who has helped countless students through the years with the book award program.  Her obituary is here: Kristen - A Celebration of Life
 

Thank you for your continued support, please stay connected.
