Rotary Club of West Bloomfield ~PO Box 252264~West Bloomfield MI 48325

Lee Jaffke has been a member of the West Bloomfield Club for 50 years! 

He has always been passionate about any endeavor he has been involved in. He is tireless, confident, decisive and strategic. His primary goal in Rotary is ‘service above self’. His low-key demeanor in undertaking countless volunteer initiatives is in sharp contrast to the impact that he has had on the West Bloomfield community. His goal is a selfless, good-hearted contribution to the community he supports.

Lee Jaffke is the quiet champion of the community. Dedicated, reliable, and dependable, he is always there, no matter what the cause or event. He is a constant community cheerleader and a dependable contributor to any organization (of which there are many) that he supports. He has cleaned up the roads on Saturday mornings, served pancakes to the community, volunteered at the Haven in Pontiac, and promoted education and Food Security programs such as Blessings in a Backpack, Meals on Wheels, and helps deliver meals on Thanksgiving through the Team Turkey project.

Join us and help save a child ...

Zambia, Africa is one of the poorest nations in the world.  Children are starving, clothed in tattered garments and have no shoes, often left to fend for themselves.  A shortage of clean water and proper sanitation also leads to a high death rate.

To help alleviate the suffering, OMNI (Orphan Medical Network International) began providing medical and humanitarian care in 2000.  Rotarian Dr. Henry Maicki has been part of the team of doctors, nurses and support personnel traveling annually to provide medical care since 2001. Team members pay their own transportation and lodging.   

In 2007, OMNI established an elementary school in  the George Community of Ndola. The children receive a nutritious daily meal, health care, shoes, clothing, and mosquito netting in addition to a basic education. Humanitarian care is provided as well. 

Safari Dinner Ticket Price: $100

If you cannot attend, please consider giving to this cause:
    $420 will feed, clothe and educate a child for one year.
    $500 will provide training and food for a family.
    Any amount is appreciated!
