The Macomb Town Hall, a longtime supporter of Oakland University, is preparing its annual luncheon-lecture series.
For nearly 45 years, the series has been used to fund scholarships for Oakland University. The group has donated, through previous and planned contributions, nearly $500,000 to deserving Macomb County students, who now make up 33 percent of the student body.
The 2013-2014 series will kick off on October 15 at the Andiamo Banquet Center in Warren.
The first speaker will be actress Stefanie Powers, who has appeared with John Wayne, Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Bing Crosby, Glenn Ford and Sammy Davis Jr.
The series continues on January 21 with local blues musician Matthew Ball, CAS `94.
On April 15, the series will close with George Vine and Erna Gorman discussing their WWII experiences with a lecture entitled “Power of the Human Spirit.”
Series tickets for Macomb Town Hall lecture-luncheons are $120. Seating for each lecture begins at 10:15 a.m. and the programs begin at 11 a.m. For details, call (586) 465-2548 or (586) 246-9017.
