It also marked the fourth time in the last five years that Trenton has won the Hedke title. The award was announced at District 6400 annual conference, which was held April 30-May 3 at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Trenton members also were on the receiving end of several other honors passed out during the conference. Bruce Jocks was given the highest individual award the District offers. The Cog Award is given to Rotarian deemed to have given outstanding service to both the district home club. Rotarians Bill Jasman and Past Rotary International Director Mike McCullough also were given "Celebrate Awards" from District Gov. Bruce Goldsen for their enthusiastic service to the organization.

For visiting GSE team from Hungary
Posted May 14
Trenton Rotary welcomed the visiting Group Study Exchange team from Hungary for a special “multi-club” evening meeting May 4 at the Westfield Center. GSE team leader Dr. Sandor Kiss and team members Judit Fodor, Lajos Giczi, Melinda Pap and Gergely Roman teamed up to provide a fascinating presentation on life in their homeland and offered insights on their five-week visit to District 6400 as part of this Rotary educational exchange program, which attempts to expose young working professionals to other cultures. Each member of the team is sponsored by a Rotary Club near their home towns. Following the presentations, the team members and Trenton Club president Joe Hoshaw continued a long-standing Rotary tradition by exchanging club banners. The team will return to Hungary on May 12. Along with the team members, the club hosted guests from several neighboring clubs, including Taylor, Gibraltar, Carleton and Grosse Ile.
