We would like to invite you to join us as we march in solidarity with the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion (MRDI) on Saturday, May 10th at Belle Isle. Please read the information about the walk from the Michigan Roundtable’s website below. This annual walk is a fundraiser for the Roundtable. The event is free, but we encourage you to contribute a minimum of $25.00 to support their wonderful diversity initiatives with students and their interfaith efforts in Metro Detroit. We at WISDOM will set up a time and place for all the WISDOM women who attend to meet for lunch downtown following the walk and fun activities. This is a great event to bring the kids and the whole family!! We will march as a group, carrying with us our large WISDOM banner!!
Please check out the MRDI website for more information (http://walk2gether2008.kintera.org) – including the map of the walk.
Please go to the following website to make your donations. So far WISDOM has raised $200 toward supporting the MRDI.

Walk2gether is a fundraiser for Leadership in the New Century (LINC) which is MRDI’s comprehensive youth diversity education program. The Walk has become Detroit’s premier celebration of our rich diversity, bringing walk teams from the business, civic, education and faith communities. The atmosphere is festive, with entertainment featuring John Mason as MC, children’s activities, and folks enjoying colleagues and new friends. Walkers begin the day at 9:00 AM as they report to their organizations gathering area in the Band shell area on Belle Isle. Walkers will register; collect t-shirts (for those who raise $25 or more), enjoy the diverse entertainment and activity, chat with colleagues, family and friends. Walkers will be encouraged to check out the diversity exhibits, while children will flock to the clowns, face painters and the Arts-n-Scraps exhibit. Pre-walk exercise will begin at 9:45.
