Facebook Article about Tutor/Mentor Connection

A new article has been written about the Tutor/Mentor Connection. It is posted on Facebook, where it can be read by thousands of people. You can view it at http://theloop21.com/blogs/how-connecting-people-increases-power

At the same time, we have created videos where students tell how important their mentor, and Cabrini Connections, are to them. You can see these at http://www.cabriniconnections.net

The stories from kids show how important an organized volunteer-based tutor/mentor program can be. The work of the Tutor/Mentor Connection seeks to assure that such programs are operating in every poverty neighborhood of Chicago. The article on Facebook shows how this is being shared in cities all over the country.

I hope you will use this as ammunition in your efforts to enlist individuals, companies and foundations to make 2009 gifts and sponsor donations of $5,000 to $50,000 so that we have the money needed to do this work the way it needs to be done.

If each one of you can enlist at least one new donor or sponsor during spring 2009, we will weather this economic storm and move into the 2009-2010 school year with strength and the resources needed to continue this work.

Thank you for your help.
