I am glad that you'd like to be involved in Detroit Synergy. Detroit Synergy is a great opportunity to get involved and make a difference in Detroit, to attend events or dialogues about the City and/or to meet people with similar interests.
There is no formal process to become a member. If you haven't already, I suggest that you sign-up for our news items to get notified about meetings and events -- I have attached the latest news item listing upcoming events. You may also regularly check our website (www.detroitsynergy.org) and calendar (days in blue have events).
The best orientation to Detroit Synergy is to attend a general meeting; they are every 2nd Thursday at a new location every month -- check our calendar to find out about the next location or if you register for our news items, you'll receive an email update. The February meeting is next Thursday the 10th, it will be at the Historic First Congregational Church on Woodward Avenue. It has a great and long history of inclusion and service, and we'll hear from someone there about HFCC's Underground Railroad reenactment that the US Department of Education supports which is apparently pretty cool...
At the general meeting, you'll learn about up-coming projects and events that you may attend or help plan or learn how you can initiate a project yourself. Our monthly Supper Club and Third Thursday are other regular events.
I am attaching a document we sometimes send to people who enter a message in the "getting involved" section on the DSG webs\ite, this has some more information.
Thanks for your interest. I hope you attend a future event. And if you'd like, please introduce yourself to me and I'd be happy to give you more information and to be a familiar face -- anyone on the steering committee or most speakers at the meeting -- would be able to direct you to me.
DSG wants to know what you're doing on Thanksgiving Day...
