Detoberfest! Volunteer meet-up at this week’s general meeting! We'll be getting organized for the Detoberfest Pubcrawl which is on Sept 17th.  We need help working the registration table, corralling people during the crawl, and promoting the event in the few days left before the event. Email pubcrawl@detroitsynergy.org with any questions you might have.

Over the past three years, Detroit Synergy members have planned, led and attended over 100 dialog, discovery and development events/projects with attendance between a dozen and up to three hundred people -- thousands of people have been introduced to new and interesting places, possibilities and dialog and development activities in the City.  Resulting in positive economic impact, people becoming more active in the City, people choosing to live and work in the City, and changing perceptions.

Contact Amanda Dunham at membership@detroitsynergy.org if you have questions about the general meeting.
