Many thanks to all 600 plus Wayne Cares participants for participating in the 2009 Susan G. Komen Detroit Race for the Cure®. Because of each and every one of you, Wayne State University received an award for the highest number of participants amongst other universities.
We would be interested in knowing your reason for participating in the race. Are you a cancer survivor? Do you know someone that has been afflicted with cancer? We want to hear your story. If, however, discussing this sensitive subject proves to be too painful for you, you can always tell us how much you enjoyed the race and/or festivities instead. We would love to hear from all of our Wayne Cares participants. So start blogging!

Wayne Cares: Midtown Detroit's Spring Clean Up
Midtown Detroit's Spring Clean Up took place May 16, 2009 starting at 8:30am. We, the Office of Community Affairs, were a little skeptical about the number of volunteers that were going to show up due to the volatile weather. Thankfully, a little rain was not enough to scare off our dedicated Wayne Cares volunteers. We had a pretty good turnout. Our volunteers came with positive attitudes and the willingness to help keep Detroit clean. On behalf of the Office of Government and Community Affairs, thank you for showing that Wayne Cares.
There are two questions we have for you:
- Did you enjoy Wayne Cares: Midtown Detroit's Spring Clean Up?
- Why did you volunteer for this event? Is it because you have a fervent desire to keep Detroit's streets clean? Is it because you like volunteer work? Or is it because you didn't have anything else to do? Let us know.

Dave Bing will be sworn into office sometime next week. As the new mayor, what should be his first order of business?
