Profile
The commonwealth club is a british-american social and networking club. The club started in 1962 as a gathering place for british expatriates living in the metro detroit and surrounding area's, to meet and have fun in an atmosphere of friendship and mutual support. What started out as a predominately british club has changed complexion with the times, but our goal, the preservation and demonstration of our centuries-old traditions, has not deviated. Over the years, members have introduced friends, neighbors, workmates, etc. To our ranks - we have enjoyed the support of not only a large number of american members, but also many other ethnic groups, creating a unique blend of people with a common goal. We are indeed a united nations organization with most of our members recognizing the need to preserve british traditions, heritage, art, and social preferences.
