The Dearborn Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the non-profit division of the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce brings Dearborn SOUP to Dearborn beginning March 6, 2011. SOUP is a monthly dinner that funds micro-grants for creative projects. This event, modeled after Detroit SOUP (detroitsoup.com), is designed to support local entrepreneurs whose ideas will positively impact the community in the areas of the arts, humanities, or “green” initiatives.
The event will take place the first Sunday of every month and will be held here Sunday April 3rd from 5 - 8 p.m. Each attendee is asked to donate $5 for admission, which includes a light meal generally consisting of soup, salad and bread; all of which are donated. During dinner, up to four pre-selected individuals will present their ideas. The attendees then vote on a winner and a portion of the proceeds is then granted to fund the winning idea.
To ensure a successful launch, the Dearborn Chamber Foundation is looking for sponsors, local artists who would like to showcase or sell their workand a photographer who is interested in documenting the launch. All the furniture will be made of recycled material so donations of rugs and reusable materials would be appreciated. Interested parties can reach Dee Hamka at (313) 801-4444.
Bring your family and join us for a fun night!
