Meeting Notice and Club News

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

December 25, 2025

Member News

Our club was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of member Bill Fried. Bill has been a member of Rotary since 1981.

The Livonia-Westland Chamber of Commerce posted:

"There were not many people more passionate about Livonia than Bill Fried. He was a consummate community volunteer who was influential in the development of the Livonia Community Foundation and Livonia Spree, among many local causes he championed. He was always reading, thinking, and relentlessly sharing ideas with city leaders, including us at the Chamber. He always talked about how Livonia was a complete community. He is a past recipient of the Livonia First Citizen Award and (pictured here) received the Livonia Legacy Award in February 2020. Bill passed away Friday at age 87. We are thinking about his family and friends. We will remember his contributions to Livonia."

Take a moment to read about the life and legacy of this great man.
