Connect with Detroit Mercy neighbors at Martin Park walk, Sept. 13

Looking for a way to feel better connected with our neighbors? The Martin Park District Association invites all Detroit Mercy students, faculty and staff to participate in the annual Martin Park Walk on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 12-1:30 p.m.

This is a great opportunity to build community spirit, enjoy a refreshing walk and strengthen the bond between Detroit Mercy and our surrounding neighborhood.

Those interested in joining the Martin Park Walk will gather at noon at the pavilion behind Good Shepherd Lutheran Church located at 16100 Lawton Street, Detroit. From there, the group will walk through the neighborhood, learning about its rich history along the way. The walk will conclude by 1:30 p.m.

For more information, please contact Tim Hipskind at hipskijt@udmercy.edu, Chelsea Manning at mannincp@udmercy.edu or Shane Hisner at hisnersj@udmercy.edu.

Please Note: Prior to the Martin Park Walk, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will be hosting its monthly community outreach. If you’re interested in lending a hand, please contact Pastor Blanton Banks at bboy10ppn@gmail.com for details.
