Thanks to Cassina

This blog was originally created by Cassina Sanders, who joined Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection in a fund raising, marketing, public awareness capacity in March 2008. All of the articles written through January 5, 2009 were written by Cassina.

Effective January 9, 2009, Cassina has left this organization to pursue other opportunities, and we wish her well in her efforts. Fund raising responsibilities will be continue to be led by Dan Bassill, President, CEO, and other members of the organization's staff, board of directors, and volunteer leaders. Chris Warren, will help with spring events, such as the July 16 Golf Benefit, and the annual year-end dinner, to be held in June.

You can meet members of our staff by reading their blogs. The Cabrini Blog, is primarily written by El Da'Sheon Nix, administrative coordinator of Cabrini Connections. The other links on that page point to blogs written by others on staff and by volunteers. The Tutor/Mentor Blog is written by Dan, and the Mapping for Justice blog is written by Mike Trakan.

All of these blogs show why people should be involved in tutor/mentor programs like Cabrini Connections, where and how they can be involved, and why they should provide donations to support the work we do at Cabrini Connections and the Tutor/Mentor Connection.

Articles posted here will be contributed by a variety of writers, all with a common goal of expanding the resources needed to help us help inner city kids connect with volunteers, learning, jobs and careers.

I hope you'll be a frequent reader. I encourage you to give Cassina a big "thank you" for her role over the past 9 months. I hope you'll help us find these resources.
