“Morning After Grace”
Michigan native playwright Carey Crim’s hilariously touching story centers on Angus and Abigail who meet at a funeral and are surprised to wake up together after a wine-fueled night. While Abigail may be ready to takea chance on love, Angus still has issues to work through. When Angus’s neighbor Ollie, a former baseball player with secrets of his own, shows up using a walker, confusion and chaos ensue. Can these three find a way to connect with their pasts in order to construct a brighter future?
Directed by Guy Sanville.
Cast: Randolph Mantooth (Los Angeles, CA), Michelle Mountain (Grass Lake), and Lynch Travis (Dearborn). Morning After Grace contains adult language.
A Peace Conference for all of us! Rotarians interested in working for peace are invited to come together with those already engaged in the field. The ROTARY WORLD PEACE CONFERENCE 2017 will discuss how Rotary and Rotarians can prevent and mediate conflict.

All are invited to attend including the general public and youth from universities and high schools including Rotaractors and Interactors.
The objective of the Peace Conference is to empower community leaders, Rotarians and others to participate in and actively propagate peace activities in their community.

Leading experts, authors and scholars specializing in peace and conflict resolution are coming from government, business, health care, media and faith-based organizations to discuss these complex issues.
