Category: Summer in the City 2008
Posted by Ben Falik on Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 4:08 PMCome celebrate Summer in the City with us!
It's hard to believe another summer is coming to a close. It has been an amazing year -- more volunteers, bigger projects, new partners and leaders -- but it's not time to close the book on 2008 yet.
As has been our tradition since 2002, we will end the summer in style this Friday, and we need your help to make mark the end of a remarkable summer.
We have some great projects in store for the day: mural painting, demolition, the Summer in the City Olympics and more. But things will really get going when the volunteering ends.
Our end-of-summer celebration (consider this your formal invitation) will commence at 1 p.m. Friday at a newly renovated public park, replete with a signature mural, new playground equipment, trees, park benches and... a yellow brick road.
Even if you can't volunteer, even if you have no previous affiliation with Summer in the City, we'd love to see you there. The barbecue, sponsored by Great Lakes Electronics Recycling, will feature a ton of free food, Summer in the City giveaways and live music from Jam Society!
The celebration is at 14th and Marquette, near Detroit's New Center neighborhood. It's easy to get to from anywhere, so don't miss out!
See you soon!
