USA Melting Pot club update to Troy City Council

At the invitation of retiring council member Maureen McGinnis, the USA Melting Pot club presented an update to the Troy City Council on October 21, 2013. Troy Community Affairs Director Cindy Stewart showed the Powerpoint slides for the presenters, located here.

USA Melting Pot club President Weilou Gao gave the first half of the talk, covering club philosophy and history. The club started its first monthly meeting in May 2012 at the Troy Public Library. So far we have introduced more than 12 different cultures, along with hobby topics at most meetings. His presentation is here.

Club secretary Dale Murrish gave the second half, covering the website and travel spreadsheet with key phrases, past and future club events and activities.

Marcus Chen is constantly upgrading our club website and adding new material. Club philosophy, a description of our logo and past presentations (African-American, Brazil, Croatia, Germany, Ireland, Korea, etc.) are all posted.

Marcus wants people to post their events, articles and comments, so please contact him by email to register as a member. The spammers are persistent and creative, so he had to turn off all comments except from members.

Recently Marcus added some advertising to give us some passive income. If you buy things from Amazon through the link on our website, the club gets a percentage of your purchases. We appreciate the library letting us meet there for free – with no sponsors yet, it fits our small budget!

You can also access our travel spreadsheet with common phrases in multiple languages.
