meet new people + volunteer for a good cause
If you want to meet some singles from the D, volunteering in the community is a good way to start. =) Get out and about with new people and have some fun!

Detroit Synergy (www.DetroitSynergy.org) is a nonprofit volunteer group dedicated to changing negative perceptions about Detroit and making the city a better place in which to live, work and play. They are hosting Project Clean, a series of Detroit beautification efforts that will be held throughout the summer.
The first event is Motor City Makeover on Saturday, May 14th from 9am to 2pm. Volunteers will meet at a site designated by the city for Detroit Synergy. You will get free garbage bags, gloves and masks, courtesy of the city. You are encouraged to bring your own rakes, brooms and other items to assist in cleaning. (Please label them as yours.) Also, be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
There will be a friendly competition with other volunteer groups to see who collects the most trash. The winners receive prizes from the city. The winning group receives Tigers tickets, a certificate of appreciation and a meeting with the mayor.
If you would like to volunteer, or for more information, please contact Jen at clean@detroitsynergy.org by April 29th. (Last minute sign-ups accepted too, but try to sign up early because the city wants a headcount.) People of all ages are welcome, so please spread the word!
Other ways to help:
If you can't come out for the Motor City Makeover, there will be more opportunities over the summer to help out. Visit http://www.detroitsynergy.org/projects/clean for more information.
