"Every year the Community Mingle is a co-mingling of all kinds of people that love their old homes and their neighborhood communities," said Swift. "We are excited to be able to bring in our local preservation partners to showcase the work they do for Detroit and Detroiters, and to give thanks to our supporters for helping us through another big year. It'll be a fun day."
