What we’re about
If you enjoy the arts and expanding your perspective then this may be the group for you! Did you know there are OVER 50 museums in the Detroit Metro area as well as many cultural interests? Join us to enjoy this rich cultural history we have accumulated here over all these years!
We will have an event at least once a month. It will start with a venue throughout a particular museum or other cultural venue, then convene for a dinner or lunch where we can discuss our viewpoints of the art experience we shared.
All viewpoints need to be respected and treated with kindness. Since the host is expecting you and sometimes there are waitlists, we will abide by the common 3 no show rule before you would be considered for suspension.
Participation in finding and hosting events is always welcome so please feel free to know your ideas will be not only be welcome but part of what will make this group grow!
In addition we require a photo of yourself so we can recognize you at events. Do not apply with a generic photo.

Hello CCC group!
This is NOT AN IN PERSON EVENT BUT SIMPLY A WAY TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE DONATION
I am sure you have all heard about prices going up on everything and that includes Meetup Organizer fees. It is a big burden for one person so your participation in helping with the fees and if possible some day hosting events is so important.
Please consider your generous support for this meetup group. We have bought like minded individuals together for the past 12 years!
Once you donate, I will change your status of wait list to going to show you paid!! -- a big Thank You!
We are asking for a $10 donation or whatever you can afford.

last 4 digits of phone 1870Reflecting over that time we have met many people, some who are still active and friends, others who have disappeared for a variety of reasons.
The goal for doing this so long aligns with the Meetup corporate goal... to help reduce loneliness in our world. Attending meetups is only the beginning to achieving a social network and finding your "Tribe". We all need substantial caring friends to make our lives richer and add to our physical and emotional health! I hope by providing this platform some of you have found what you need.... If not do not lose hope/ Keep trying to find where you fit in!
May you all continue and ENJOY using the Culture Cuisine Conversation Meetup to achieve these important goals. This group is under the same umbrella as the Birmingham and Beyond group which has the same request in place right now. You DO NOT need to donate twice.We do have one of the more dynamic groups in the Detroit Metro area.
Our incredible hosts are doing a lot of work out of sheer kindness on their own time! There are semi annual fees charged to continue this group; your contribution will help offset these fees and if we can raise even more money it will provide options for more creative meetups as well!
NOTE:
As an independent organizer, I rely on the generosity of donors like you to help cover the deeply increasing costs of organizing and promoting our events. Your support will help us to continue providing high-quality programming and to reach even more people in our community. With your donation, we can invest in better technology, hire expert guides or speakers, and even create private parties. Your contribution will make a real difference in the lives of our members and help us to continue building a strong and vibrant community for years to come.
Thank you for considering our request, and for your ongoing support of our group. We look forward to partnering with you to create a better world through education and community-building.
