In the Spring of 1988, a group of Lansing General Motors Retirees took the initiative to start the Club, which would provide an opportunity for area retirees to meet and visit with each other socially on a regular basis.  Following is a brief summary of the membership benefits and information for becoming a member.

We host four main social functions for our members and their guests each year. There is a Snow Bird luncheon social in January, a combined golf and luncheon social in June, another in July, and our annual business meeting luncheon social in September, with the election of officers.

In addition, we organize a number of other events such as bus trips to the Detroit Auto Show,  Detroit Tiger ball games, tours of GM facilities, and other events of interest to our members.   Each year our trips change to provide new experiences for our membership.

To help our members keep up with the Club's and GM's activities, we issue three  newsletters annually to Club members, issue a complete membership roster (currently on bi-annual basis), and maintain this very attractive Club web site, with many interesting features and lots of useful reference information for GM retirees everywhere.

Over the years, the Club has maintained excellent relations with both local GM management and the Retirees staff at GM's Central Office in Detroit.  This permits us to offer special activities such as plant tours and visits from the Retiree staff to our annual meetings.

Membership for any GM salaried retiree can be obtained by printing out the Application Form,  filling out the necessary information, and sending it along with the annual dues payment of $10.00 per year to the address shown on the form. Be sure to include your email address so that we can keep you informed of special events and important dates on the GM calendar, in a timely manner.  Dues are primarily used  to cover the operational expenses of the Club, which consist mainly of printing and mailing costs associated with the Club's newsletters and  membership roster.  All of our other activities are self-funded.

We hope you will take your membership in the GM Lansing Salaried Retirees Club along with you in your retirement, finding its information useful and the social opportunities rewarding.
