Members of the Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe welcomed a visitor from Australia at the Country Club of Detroit. Allan Church, past district governor from the Queensland area, is no stranger to Detroit and the Pointes. In 2011 and again this year, Church was responsible for sending a team of literacy experts to assist in adult literacy training at the Pro-literacy facility in Detroit. During his year as governor, Church and Grosse Pointe native Kim Towar (the local Rotary district governor) collaborated on dual projects. The literacy team who came here and a team of midwives and pharmacists from the Grosse Pointe, Detroit and Windsor area traveled to East Timor to assist in training. The literacy project was so successful that the team from Australia returned this year and plan to continue their assistance in and around Detroit for many years to come. Pictured, from left at the Country Club of Detroit, are Norma Ceravolo, Florence Seltzer, Church and Grosse Pointe Rotarian Dr. Al Ceravolo.
