5. Vote on which project to fund with the money raised from the meal that night.

Donations of soup, salad, and volunteering is welcome.  Contact them ahead of time to see what is needed this month.

You know what's funny?  This was in my draft folder from January 2012!  Well, better late than never!

Ferndale SOUP seeking Submissions

Last week, Ron and I finally made it to a Detroit Soup - and not just any Soup, their 2nd Anniversary Detroit Soup.  I heard about Ferndale Soup (starting this week) and saw an article in the Ferndale Patch.  Long story short, Ferndale Soup is looking for project submissions through today, Saturday (for this week's Soup).  

So the concept is simple and groovy.  You pay $5.00 for soup, bread, and a vote.  About four individuals or groups present their fabulous idea about Detroit (or Ferndale, or nearby), you vote on your favorite idea, have some soup and conversation and by the end of the evening, the winner gets to take home the cash (up to $800).  Cool, huh?
