9.16.10 | Third Thursday | Soup at Spaulding Court, Corktown   2737 Rosa Parks | Detroit, MI, 2010-09-16 19:00:00 - 2010-09-16 20:30:00

This month’s Third Thursday Community Connect will be something quite different. We’ve been invited to Soup at Spaulding Court, an 80+ year old, castle-like row of town homes in Corktown just off the I-75 service drive. The Friends of Spaulding Court are raising funds for their rehab. Here’s how it works: Attendees pay $5 (this is in lieu of our usual request of non-cash donations) and have a great supper of homemade soup, salad, and Avalon bread. You’ll hear the presentation of three unique ideas that require a little seed money to get going. When they’re finished, vote for your favorite idea. The top vote-getter is announced and the money that was collected at the “door” is split between Friends of Spaulding and the winner, after a small reimbursement is given to the cook. This is grassroots action at its best—the foundation that Synergy was built on.
