….Short Takes…

Wednesday, April 27, 2005

…The evening of Friday, May 6th, will be ‘spit and polish’ time for roughly 1,200 JROTC cadets from 25 DPS high schools, plus schools in Center Line, Highland Park, Mount Clemens, Pontiac, River Rouge and Warren.



 The cadets and their guests will attend the 56th Annual Military Ball. It’s an opportunity for the cadets to practice traditional individual and group social skills that are part of the JROTC regimen. At the ball, the new cadet Corps commander is presented along with the JROTC queen from each unit. Finally, everyone will be ordered to have a good time…and they will.







….The Friends Of Bates Academy invite you to forget about slices, hooks and bunkers and to just grab your clubs and come on out to their golf outing fundraiser on Saturday May 21st at the Rouge Golf Course. Register at noon. Play is Scramble format. The fee is $125 which includes lunch, dinner and bad golf jokes. Non golfers can enjoy a day, near the links, for $25 each or $40 for a couple. For more information or to register call 313-863-1704 or go to www.friendsofbatesacademy.org .







….This summer, Justin Mathis is going to England and Scotland! He is a student at the Ronald Brown Academy and was selected to participate in the People To People Student Ambassador Program which has sponsored international exchange programs for about 50 years. Justin will spend 20 days exploring historical sites such as the Tower of London, Warwick Castle, Oxford College, and of course Loch Ness. The experience will earn him school credits and when he returns, he’ll be a well traveled young man.
