Directors Report

Welcome to Winter

I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Mine was spent with family, friends

and, of course, football. According to History.com, the first time the Detroit Lions played

football on Thanksgiving Day was in 1934, when they hosted the Chicago Bears at the

University of Detroit stadium, in front of 26,000 fans. The NBC radio network broadcast the

game on 94 stations across the country–the first national Thanksgiving football broadcast.

Since that time, the Lions have played a game every Thanksgiving (except between 1939

and 1944 because of WWII); in 1956, fans watched the game on television for the first

time. However, as the Lions do from time to time, they lost the first Thanksgiving game by

the score of 19-16. This year, though, they won by a score of 45-14 over the Philadelphia

Eagles for their third Thanksgiving win in a row. Go Lions!

Now, we look forward to our end-of-year festivities and the celebration of a New Year. At this time, we can reflect on the last 365 days, look for opportunity to grow, and make 2016 our best year yet. Over the past year, the stock market has had its ups and down. Unfor-tunately for the retirement system, the third quarter closed with a sharp decline; our fiscal year end is September 30. Although this impacted the returns on the investment portfolio, the shifts made in investments over the last few years helped smooth some of this volatil-ity. We ended the year with a one year gross of fees return of 1.09% with a two-year re-turn of 4.97% and a three-year return of 8.22%.

County Achievements

Wayne County Retirement would like to celebrate the life of Michael Berry. Mr. Berry

served on the Wayne County Road Commission starting in 1967 and served as chairman

for 10 of 16 years. He also had a major hand in the development and expansion of the De-

troit Metro Airport. Furthermore, Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University hon-

ored him with the Distinguished Alumni Award on May 31, 1998. (continued on page 5)

Wayne County Retiree Sub-Chapter 38

Wayne County Retiree Sub-Chapter 38 continues to represent all of the retirees, their spouses and beneficiaries of Wayne County and the Wayne County Airport Authority. The Sub-Chapter has stepped forward to defend pensions and benefits in the past and will continue to do so. If you are a member of the Sub-Chapter, we invite you, the retiree including spouse or beneficiary to join in our continuing efforts to fulfill our mission. We are proud of our accomplishments to date and ask that you join us in continuing that mission of working with the Wayne County Employees’ Retirement System to protect those pensions and benefits. Membership in Sub-Chapter 38 does not require prior membership of an AFSCME bargaining unit. Membership dues are only $2.50 per month that may be deducted from pension payments or paid annually directly to the Sub-Chapter.

Sub-Chapter 38 has entered the 21st century by creating a website designed to provide the latest

information of retiree issues plus links to the Retirement System and Michigan Council 25. The web-site address is www.wcsubchapter38.com. Take a look at the website; we think you will like it. We are also open to suggestions on how to better serve retirees on that website.

Sub-Chapter 38 gathers, with many of your fellow retirees, at monthly membership meetings held on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 1:00 PM at UAW Local 182, 35603 Plymouth Road, Livonia, MI 48150. We also enjoy a light lunch at those meetings. Information concerning retiree matters in the Wayne County, state and national arenas are fully discussed and questions an-swered, in addition to the opportunity to socialize.

Directors Report (continued from page 1)

Because of both his personal and professional accomplish-

ments, Detroit Metro Airport named a terminal for international

travel in his honor. His accomplishments are seemingly end-

less and truly amazing. Mr. Berry passed away on October 25th

at the age of 95. We want to say thank you to Mr. Berry for all

he has done for Wayne County and the community.

I also want to take the time to celebrate the career of Raymond

Wojtowicz. He is retiring after 39 years as the Wayne County

Treasurer. He was elected Treasurer ten times during his ten-

ure at Wayne County. Prior to his County Treasurer position,

Mr. Wojtowicz was elected as the Mayor of the City of Ham-

tramck, and he was also elected to the first Wayne County

Community College Board of Trustee’s.

One of his many accomplishments was implementing the De-

linquent Tax Revolving Fund program back in 1978 borrowing

$25,600,000 to advance property tax collection on behalf of

the taxing authorities in Wayne County. Since the program

started, approximately 4 billion dollars has been borrowed and

over 600 million dollars in surplus funds has been transferred

to support County Operations. That is a wonderful accomplish-

ment.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Wojtowicz for a

large part of my career and want to personally thank him

for everything he has done for me. I would not be where I

am today if it wasn’t for Mr. Wojtowicz. He was not only

compassionate to members of his staff but to the public

he served. He met with tax payers and the general public

often, even without an appointment. One of his favorite

mantras was a reminder that we are entrusted with “OPM-

Other People’s Money”, and our duty is to go above and

beyond every single time. I remember Judy Verhines

calling Raymond Wojtowicz “The Last of the Honest Poli-

ticians”, which speaks volumes to the type of man he was

throughout his long and prosperous career. I personally

want to thank him one last time and wish him the happiest

retirement.

“The best way to find yourself is in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Most importantly, though, remember to spend this season with loved ones sur-rounded by only the warmest thoughts and feelings. Wayne County Retirement would like to send along good cheers and wish everybody a safe and joyous holiday sea-son!
