Wealth of knowledge
The Westland Rotary Club and North Brothers Ford in Westland provided $12,000 in scholarships to six deserving high school seniors from the Wayne-Westland Community Schools District. Past club President Mark McConnell (far left) and Tom North of the auto dealership (far right) were among those honoring the Wayne-Westland graduating seniors at a June 6 luncheon at Joy Manor banquet hall in Westland. Student winners from Westland John Glenn High School are Elizabeth Fall (Westland Rotary) and Areli Campos (North Brothers Ford): from Wayne Memorial High School Crystal Phan (Westland Rotary) and Jayden Myers (North Brothers), and from William D. Ford Career-Technical Center Maya Jenkins (North Brothers) and Kaylie Sheppard (Rotary). The car dealer family supports college scholarships in memory of their late father Jim North, and also donates to students through Garden City Rotary, where Mr. North was a member. McConnell is chief judge of the 18th District Court in Westland.
