Hello VIPs!

Inspired by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "This Place Matters" initiative, Preservation Wayne and the GDHPC have partnered with the Detroit Historic District Commission to stage a group photo in front of the Michigan Central Railroad Station on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, at 5:30pm.

Please get the word out to EVERYONE you know. We want this to be the largest group picture in Michigan, maybe even the country! The photo will appear on the preservationnation.org website.

For those not familiar with the "This Place Matters" initiative, essentially the project aims to identify historic places throughout the country that truly matter to people. In Michigan, Detroit specifically, the MCS has been identified by many as a place that they want to see saved. More details about "This Place Matters" may be found on this website: http://www.preservationnation.org/ta...place-matters/

Details:
Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 5:30pm [[Photo taken promptly at 5:45pm)
Meet in front of Michigan Central Station

Afterward everyone is welcome to participate in dining and cocktail hour at one of the many Michigan Avenue-Corktown establishments.

Thank you,
Katie Dallos
Tour/Volunteer Coordinator, Preservation Wayne
Assistant, Greater Detroit Historic Preservation Coalition
