Still confused? Here's a quick guide that tells you what this site has to offer, and what each TAB contains
Who We Are - Short bio of the people providing the elbow grease for this project
Love is All "D"Needs - Actual notes and messages that have been submitted to us, and are now circulating Detroit. Also in this section you will find quotes from people who have received a letter, explaining how the letter made them feel.
Submit a Letter - Where you can send me your very own message! The message will come directly to me. I will then print it off, place it in a special "Detroit Letters of Love" envelope, and give to a local Detroit facility to hand off to a random costumer (clearly, this is the most important tab). You can also view the front and back side of the envelope that will eventually be the loving home to your message.
Blog - Random thoughts and epiphanies from the makers of the website. There will occasionally be special guest blogs as well. This is also where you can leave comments and suggestions for the project. We love feedback.
The Facts: How to Spread Some Lovin' - Provides detailed information about the mission of the project, and more clear guidance regarding what the note should be about.
Detroit Inspiration Station - Need some ideas of what to write a letter about? We have you covered. Here you will find some beautiful images, videos and interesting facts about our beloved Detroit City.
Social Networking - In this day in age, just having a website doesn't cut it. We also have a Facebook page, and you can find it here.
“Don’t be shy, starting perusing the website!”
While you browse the site, listen to local Ferndale musician, Daniel Grzesiak. This talented guy composes his own music, as well as plays all the instruments. I may be a little partial, because he is my brother.
