On Tuesday, February 28th the Chelsea Rotary Club hosted a “Peacemaking” luncheon featuring Judge Timothy P. Connors, Presiding Judge of the Washtenaw County Peacemaking Court, Judge Pro Tem for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, and Washtenaw Circuit Court Judge. Judge Connors spoke about the limitations of the adversarial court system and the need to incorporate into the justice system more harmonious and balanced solutions that integrate the repairing of harm, healing of relationships, and restoration of the individual within their family and community.

The Chelsea Rotary Club mourns the passing of one of our founding members, Peek (Fred) Van Reesema. Peek was a respected physician, a loving husband, father and grandfather, and a friend and hero to everyone who knew him. His fellow Rotarians, and all of Chelsea, honor the memory of Peek and send our regrets to Carol and the Van Reesema family for their loss. Peek received numerous Rotary awards for his "service above self," most recently the Paul Harris Award presented to him by past-president Anne Nauts and president Susan Brown.
