Dearborn Schools' '25+ Club' Honors Employees at 57th Annual Banquet

The Dearborn Public Schools "25+ Club," an organization made up of retired district and Henry Ford Community College staff members, will host its 57th annual banquet on May 17.

The event, honoring retirees and 25-year employees, will take place at 5:30 p.m. at Park Place, located at 23400 Park St. in Dearborn.

The fun begins with a social hour at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the awards program at 6:30 p.m. Honorees attend as guests of the Dearborn Public Schools Board of Education and the 25+ Club. All other employees, retirees from DPS, and friends are invited to attend the event.

Thirty-seven retirees will receive an engraved tray honoring them for their 25 or more years of full-time service to the district and/or college. Seventy retirees will receive a certificate honoring their full or part-time service to the district for less than 25 years. Staff members who are not retiring but have reached 25 years of service (as of June 2013) will receive the 25+ Award.

Club President Marlene Lewis will host the program that will include comments from Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Brian Whiston, School Board President Pamela Adams, a representative from Henry Ford Community College, and board members of the 25+ Club.
