ships, the club also presented, for the first
time, three James E. North Memorial

from each school. Four club members
select the top three scholarship candidates
and from those applicants, the winners are
selected.
The club also presented the Arlene
Douglass Scholarship in the amount of
$2000, an annual award funded by Rotary

Officials from Wayne Main
Street are looking for a few good
men and women to serve on four
standing committees of the
organization.
Wayne Main Street is dedica-
tion to building a revitalized and
vibrant downtown Wayne, a
spokesman noted. As the organi-
zation continues to increase pro-
grams and projects, motivated
leaders for various committees
are needed.
Committee members will
have the opportunity to work
closely with the board of direc-
tors and staff members on a num-
ber of projects and community
events, including the annual
Scarecrow program, Small
Business Saturday and fundrais-
ing events. Committeemembers
also contribute to downtown
beautification efforts - including
organizing clean up days, façade
improvements and other
enhancements.
“Wayne Main Street is cur-
rently taking on a number of new
and exciting projects that will
benefit downtownWayne, andwe
are looking for new leaders to
come in and help our organiza-
tion continue to improve the
quality of life here in Wayne,”
said Maxwell Cameron, Wayne
MainStreet executive director.
Committee members commit
to attending monthly meetings
and are expected to participate
in committee programs and
events. The monthly commit-
ment for a committee member
can vary, the average is between
4-8 hours permonth.
“Committee membership is
essential to the success of our
organization, we are looking for
dedicated, community-minded
folks to help with the work we
do,” said President of the Board
of Directors of Wayne Main
Street JuanBradford.
All committee positions for
2017/2018will be filled by Aug. 31.
For more information about
involvement, contact Wayne
Main Street at director@down-
townwayne.org or call (734) 629-
6822.
Launched in 2011 by a group
of caring individuals, Wayne
Main Street has evolved into one
of the largest civic organizations
in Wayne. Last year, volunteers
from the group contributed more
than 2,700 service hours to the
community. In 2014 the organiza-
tion was recognized by the
Michigan
Main
Street
Association as a Select-Level
Main Street community. Wayne
Main Street employs the four-
point Main Street approach by
promoting downtown Wayne as
the heart of the community, fur-
thering a commitment to historic
preservation, creating program-
ming that draws people to down-
town Wayne and producing pre-
mier events, according to a pre-
pared release.
Committee membership
is essential to the success
of our organization.
