Our neighborhood is sponsoring a clean-up:

2nd Annual Hamtramck Heights Pre-Labor Day Cleanup

Saturday, August 28th, 9 a.m. - 10 a.m.

Let's give our Labor Day visitors an old-fashioned Hamtramck welcome.

Our goal is to clean every residential street in one hour or less!

Meet at the corner of Sobieski and Commor for bags and gloves and mark your work area on the map.

If you are unable to attend, you can help by keeping your area clean.
Sponsored by the Hamtramck Heights Neighborhood Association

We're planning to clean everything between Caniff and Carpenter, and Joseph Campau to Conant.

Even if you live in another Hamtramck neighborhood, will you donate just one hour of your time this weekend to cleaning your street? One person can pick up all the litter on a full city block in about 40 minutes.

Re: Membership Drive for Hamtramck High Alumni Varsity Club

Did you graduate from Hamtramck High School?
Did you earn an Athletic Varsity Letter?
Would you be willing to help fellow HHS Graduates?

In 1959, a group of Hamtramck High School graduates met to rekindle their friendships from high school. At this meeting it was proposed that this group should continue to meet, to form a common bond of fellowship, and keep the spirit of Hamtramck High School athletics alive. This group became known as the Hamtramck High Alumni Varsity Club, (H.H.A.V.C.).

From these meetings The Hamtramck High Alumni Varsity Club Scholarship Fund was formed. It is registered with the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501-C3 non-profit organization, and as a Charitable Trust with the State of Michigan Office of Attorney General.

Since 1961, this group has awarded over $80,000.00 (eighty thousand dollars) to deserving Hamtramck High School Scholar Athletes.

We are in need of new membership to continue this great tradition.

Please contact us with you’re the following information:
Name, Address, Telephone
Year of Graduation
Varsity Athletic Letter earned in which sport(s)

Once we receive your applications we will contact you to set up a meeting.
