ASB Detroit 2009 - Day 3 photos on Flickr
Today the Detroit ASBers spent the afternoon touring metro Detroit with stops in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
I love taking out-of-towners on a tour of metro Detroit (the city proper, in particular). You can physically see their perceptions change as you wind through places like The Heidelberg Project, Indian Village and Fox Town. There's a lot to love about Detroit that you just don't know about until you get here and experience it first-hand.
There's also a lot of work to be done and needs to be met. We toured those places as well today.
So, now that our ASBers know metro Detroit, know us here at the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, and know each other, tomorrow it's time to get down to business. Teams will be leaving campus at 8 a.m. to begin building wheel chair ramps, assembling a computer lab, mentoring children and rebuilding spaces for a women's shelter. That's when the real "fun" begins.
