Greetings Friends,

Spring Break is glorious!  The Club is active formulating ways to unite members with each other and the community.   We will joyously celebrate the warmer season with events to stimulate your mind and bolster your network.  Please save the date of March 21st, for a private tour of Comerica Park to learn some history and visit various areas not normally available to the public - just prior to opening day!  Baseball fans will delight as the Club may also do a group photo on the field.  Tickets available shortly.
 

Club updates:  

The "Henry Ford Alumni Association Distinguished Career Award"  was given to our member Tor Shwayder, MD.  It is presented to physicians and scientists who have exhibited an outstanding commitment to patient care, leadership, education or scientific achievement and have had a minimum of 20 years of service.
 

Harvard Club of Detroit lost our esteemed member Bob Goodenow, a dear friend to many.  Bob graduated from Harvard University and was the Crimson Hockey Team Captain.  An Attorney, he is most notable for serving as the Executive Director of the NHL Players Association from 1992-2005.  As an entrepreneur and investor, he extended his pursuits into starting the Suburban Sports Group.  This consortium of ice rinks ensured countless youth could stay healthy and pursue their hockey and skating dreams.  We will honor his life by participating in the charity "Goals & Dreams" dedication this winter at the Detroit Clark Park Coalition in conjunction with the NHL-PA.
