Ford Audiophile Club : The Club’s Charter is to enhance members’ enjoyment of recorded music.  To this end we hold listening sessions in member’s homes and retail salons and have hosted new product demos. The only requirements for membership are a love of music, an interest in learning from others, and a willingness to share from your own experience what works well and what doesn’t.  We pride ourselves on our openness to all systems from inexpensive vintage, DIY, to the latest high dollar designs.

The Ford Canoe & Kayak Club, and the Motor City Dragons (FCKC) has a mission to give members opportunities for a fun & healthy lifestyle usually outside and, but not limited too, on the water through human powered propulsion.  There are no fees for becoming an FCKC member, but we do need a valid CDS ID (confirmed Ford retiree is OK too) because the majority of our communication is through email.  Our distribution list is kept private (no “Reply-All’s).  Typical paddles happen after work in the Detroit Metro Area.  Members are encouraged to suggest new outings.  In previous years, members have proposed and made trips happen including overnight camping, out to Turnip Rock in Lake Huron, and moon lit paddles with dinner & a symphony.  Boat rentals vs. bringing one’s own depends on the trip.  More detail about our club or networking with other paddlers can be done at our...

The Classic Auto Restorers' Society is a small but highly committed group of historic car collectors. You don't have to own a historic car to be a member, and we won't judge what's classic and what's not. But, our members hold about 135 cars, from pre-Model T Fords to late 1970s muscle cars. All types and makes are welcome, and we have horseless carriages, steamers, early Jeeps, Mustangs, Fairlanes, Renaults, Hupmobiles, a Cobra or two, and much more. Our members often work together on each others' projects, and can provide insight from their own extensive experience. Some of our members participate in historic site restoration and volunteer at historic car events. In the summer months, we meet at least once a month at a cruise night or outdoor event, usually around dinner time, and members often drive their historic cars. In the winter, we meet once a month at a...

The Ford Climbing Club is an employee organization aimed at building an active climbing community where people can grow their knowledge and experience through events and shared information.

No experience necessary and fear of heights not an excuse =P (many climbers start with a small to large fear of heights, but learn to overcome it as they continue to climb). Some past/current club events and activities we...
