Berkley Rotary Club finds new home at O’Mara’s Restaurant
(Berkley Rotary Press Release, June 8, 2014)
BERKLEY, MI (May 27, 2014) – After more than 50 years, the Rotary Club of Berkley will have a new home. Starting on Monday, June 2, the Club will meet at O’Mara’s Restaurant in downtown Berkley at the intersection of 12 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway. Guests, prospective members and anyone interested in sharing a meal in fellowship are welcome to attend. The Club meets each Monday for lunch from 12:15 pm to 1:30 pm.
“We’re looking forward to meeting in our new location and expect it will help the club to be more inviting and visible,” said Dr. Paul Benson, Club President.
“Meeting at a restaurant will give everyone the option to order what they want off the menu. Rather than paying a flat fee, each person will pay their own bill at the end of the meal,” said Matt Church, Club President-Elect.
Each meeting features a speaker. Here’s a look at speakers for the month of June.
June 9: Robert Wittenberg discusses that impact of being a Berkley Rotary Club college scholarship recipient
