Pasteur School in the House |
It was an extreme pleasure to introduce some of my friends to current Detroit
Fire Department employees of Engine 44, with a brand new door. We were glad to
see the support from Wayne County Sheriff, Detroit Fire and Police Departments.
They should feel good about covering a District
with a strong history and a great future for the children that live there.
Everyone knows the Neighborhood Police Officer but very few know the
Neighborhood Fire Fighter. Want to give a big shout out to Sheriff Benny
Napolean for his support and he is a proud product of Pasteur School.
Stop The Violence |
The Gathering at Peterson Park was a true blessing of the
neighborhood again in the Spirit of Detroit. This large city park accommodated three
different groups who all played together in harmony. A Winship Junior High School reunion, a Stop
the Violence Rally, and a church group all used the park to fellowship
together. A deputy sheriff from Wayne
County came to Stop the Violence and speak about the importance of education
and reading.
Wayne County Sheriff & Cush |
Most of the prisoners in Wayne County Jails have the same trait in
common regarding their reading skills. They are the most repeat offenders and
the deputy sheriff did a wonderful job in communicating with the audience about
police and community relations. This is another shout out to Wayne County Sheriff
Benny Napolean and the employees that work under his command.

Cruisn the D at Palmer Park |
The effort to make Woodward South of 8 Mile road a part of a
Cruise weekend was a smashing success. The span of Woodward between 8 and
Mc Nichols (6 Mile for Native Detroiters) was populated with by the Crusin the “D”
event that went around Palmer Park, 7 Mile, Woodward, 8 Mile and back. This area has its own uniqueness because
there are few restaurants and a park with a lot of trees where people parked
their cars, stayed cool and watched the other cars go by. It was a pleasure to welcome cruisers to the
area.

Thank you Mejiers |
In 2016 a cruise from Campus Martius and Back is very doable. In collaboration with bikers, cruisers, and track clubs, this annual event will morph into an international celebration of the automobile. Is a Cruise weekend marathon with runners running from 26 miles out to a finish line located at Campus Martius possible? This would have to be done before the Saturday of the event maybe on a Friday morning. Otherwise, the bikers and automobile group can do the cruise from Campus Martius to Pontiac in 2016 with proper time, planning and, support.
Detroit is coming back and we are helping to keep it on track to progress.
We thank you all for your participation in these events in the Spirit of Detroit.
Keep up the good work in Detroit!

Oh my goodness, this Historic August Weekend in Detroit looks fabulous. I am so pleased that everyone had such nice time over there. I would also be attending an outdoor event at the Seattle venues and all my friends will be joining me. I am sure it will be a blasting weekend event!
