Dedication of the New Rotary Pavilion

The community came together to dedicate the new Rotary Park Pavilion—a space rebuilt not only with wood and stone, but with the strength, compassion, and resilience of our community.

As we celebrated this new chapter, we also honored the memory of Cooper Christopher Drake, whose life was tragically lost during the June 2024 tornado.

A memorial plaque now stands at the pavilion, reminding all who visit to cherish those we love and never take a single day for granted.

"May this pavilion continue to be a place where families gather, memories are made, and Cooper's legacy is remembered for generations to come." -Erin H. Dobbins

 This project was made possible through the partnership of the Rotary Clubs of Livonia, State Rep Laurie Pohutsky, George H. Pastor and Sons Construction, and many others who came together to restore a place that means so much to our community.
