Abstract The United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit has its origins in the establishment of the Detroit Community Union in 1917. The Union was reorganized into the Council of Social Agencies of Metropolitan Detroit in 1932, and merged with the Detroit Community Chest in 1951 to become the United Community Services (UCS). UCS operated alongside the United Way for Southeastern Michigan (United Foundation until 1989), which was primarily a fundraising organization. They merged to form the United Way Community Services in 1995, which merged with the United Way for Oakland County to become the United Way for Southeastern Michigan in 2005. UCS was an umbrella organization for a wide range of social welfare agencies in the Metropolitan Detroit area, and sought to promote social services (including child care, family, health, recreation, and community planning) through the centralized planning, coordinating, and budgeting of those agencies. The Executive Office oversaw the various departments within UCS, and was headed by the Executive Vice President, who was the managing director of the organization. The United Community Services Executive Office Records consist of materials from the tenure of three Executive Vice Presidents: Richard Huegli, John MacInnes, and Geneva Williams. The collection demonstrates the administrative functions of UCS, including correspondence with the directors of other UCS departments, correspondence concerning social welfare agencies, minutes documenting the proceedings of UCS committees, reports concerning UCS programs and special projects, and budgetary proposals to the United Foundation. The collection also contains some photographs of UCS leadership and of the founders of the Detroit Community Union. Important Subjects: Community-based social services Detroit (Mich.) Public welfare Social service--Michigan--Detroit. United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit United Foundation (Detroit, Mich.) Important Names: Huegli, Richard MacInnes, John Williams, Geneva Arrangement The collection is arranged into 4 series. Folders in each series are simply listed by their location within each box.

The Freer House features quarter-sawn oak paneling, built in cabinets and seating, and ornate decorative light fixtures and hardware. Reproductions of 11 paintings by the American artists, Dewing, Tryon and Thayer, have recently been installed in their original locations. Restoration goals include the revitalization of Freer’s historic courtyard gardens, restoration of the 1906 Whistler Gallery as an exhibition and meeting space, and creation of a public welcome and interpretative center for visitors in the former carriage house.

We kicked off our 100th anniversary in April 2018, with a red carpet, black-tie optional Centennial Gala held at the Colony Club in Detroit, Michigan. WLAM was started in Detroit on March 19, 1919, by five self-proclaimed “ardent portias of Detroit.” The theme was Looking Back. Moving Forward, and we honored over 350 women who have served as a president of WLAM or one of our many regions. In anticipation of the event, we created a documentary on the history of our Donna M. MacKenize organization, highlighting the amazing women, past and present, who have made WLAM the organization that it is today. We also compiled historical records of the organization’s accomplishments throughout the years and put them on display at the event, and held a past president’s reception prior to the Gala.
