Committee Profile: Dearborn

By Ron Bultman. The Dearborn CBMC group meets every Wednesday morning in the Product Development Center (PDC) of Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, technically at 6:40 A.M., but most members show up at 7:00 A.M.

    This location serves the members well since most are Ford Engineers. However, those who are not Ford employees will have difficulty getting into the PDC building due to the new security card controlled turnstiles through which everyone must pass. This presented a significant problem to me as Chairman since I work in the field of "multiplication", instead of being a Ford employee. My problem was solved when I became an official "supplier" and received my Ford photo ID entrance badge. Visitors should contact me at 313/982-3774 before coming so we can help you gain entrance into the building.

    Our committee (jointly with the Redford committee) continues the strategy of holding two annual outreaches per year, generally in March and October. We find a sense of purpose in continuing to do this. I can report first hand how these repeated outreaches have positively influenced those attending from my office. Indeed, the whole atmosphere of our office has been changed for the better and Christ has been glorified. We wish to thank Beth of the Metro Office for making these semi-annual exercises run with ease.

    Having just completed studies in I John and II John, we are now studying III John. By the time this is read in the Quarterly Newsletter, we may be doing Jude. Our pace is measured and thorough since we study only a few verses per week.

    We are always looking for a few more good men (or women) so if you can refer anyone to us, we will certainly make them feel at home. Each of the last two weeks we have had a first time guest come due to the invitation of one of our members.
