starving people with the help of
worldwide partners.
Kids Coalition Against
Hunger was started by Dr.
Donald E. Burwell in 1998. The
humanitarian crusade has part-
nered with many service groups,
churches, businesses and volun-
teers. The group produces mil-
lion of meals a year that are sent
to local community food banks
and shelters. Food is also

Rotary Club seeking ‘Feed The Hungry’ volunteers
The Romulus Senior Center will host
two fun events the night of Thursday, Oct.
4, designed to generate funds for a new
salon at the center and other senior pro-
gramming.
• “Paint 'n' Pour” is open to those inter-
ested in creating a decorative seasonal
painting. The 5 p.m. event is being called
“a night of creativity, laughs and libation.
Instructions and supplies will be provid-
ed. Admission is $35 per person. “Finger
foods” will be supplied. Participants are
encouraged to bring their drink and snack
of choice.
• “A Bonfire, Cigars and Drinks Event”
is open to those interested in having a fun
night, also starting at 5 p.m. A fire pit will
be available outside for cigar smoking. A
full dinner alsowill be served indoors.
“Come join us for a lively night,” said
Rose Swidan, director of the senior center.
“You can come as a couple if you like and
have a great time.”
Funds raisedwill be applied to creating
a newand improved salon. Currently, hair-
cuts are provided once a month to inter-
ested seniors. The goal is to provide two
regular hair stations and a third that will
be wheelchair accessible. Once the salon
is fully functional, haircuts will be avail-
ableweekly, alongwithpedicure service.
“There is a big demand for this,”
Swidan said. “Pampering will uplift the
spirits of the seniors. A little bit of beauty
treatment will always brighten a woman's
day.”
The Romulus Senior Center is located
at 36525 Bibbins. Checks should be made
payable to the “Friends of the Romulus
Senior Center.”

improvements that pave the way for the
new Amazon distribution center - result-
ing in economic development advantages
andup to 1,600 jobs in the community.”
Shawn Keough, municipal services
lead for Wade Trim, said: “The comple-
tion of the Vining Road Improvements
represents the city's commitment to a
vision for economic growth and connec-
tivity that started when the project was
conceptualized nearly 20 years ago. This
new roadway and public infrastructure
open up development potential and sig-
nificant investment that will help the com-
munity for future generations. Wade Trim
is very thankful for the opportunity to
help the city's team create a safe roadway
for its residents, business users and visi-
tors.”
The city has issued a 15-year bond to
fund $11.9 million of the project. The
bonds will be paid by funds pledged from
the tax increment revenue capture from
the existing Romulus Tax Increment
Finance Authority (TIFA) and a Detroit
Region Aerotropolis Local Development
FinanceAuthority (LDFA).
Other partners includedWayneCounty,
the Michigan Economic Development
Corporation and the Aerotropolis. The
county provided $1.6 million for the proj-
ect. The State of Michigan enabled the
city to utilize the Aerotropolis to create
the LDFA on the Amazon project, which
allows the city to capture state millage to
help fund the project.
“This project shows the benefits of col-
laboration and partnership between local,
county and state government working
with the private sector,” said Wayne
County Executive Warren C. Evans.
“Wayne County is proud to have part-
nered on this effort. The road improve-
ments benefit the community while pro-
viding the infrastructureAmazonneeds to
be successful at the site. It's truly a win-
win.”

Correction
In a story last week regarding
a federal grant which will allow
the City of Romulus to hire five
firefighters for a period of 3
years, the headline was incor-
rect. The story contained some
inaccurate informtionwhichmay
have caused some confusion.
The story also credited a
quote to Mayor LeRoy Burcroff
in error.
The city will use the SAFER
grant through the Federal
Emergency
Management
Association (FEMA) to hire five
full-time firefighters for three
years.
The Eagle apologizes for any
confusion the error may have
caused.
