From T/MC’s activity log (OHATS). Select a year to see everything else from that year.

• 1994-05-16 Chicagoland wrote an article 'Mentors join forces to reach city's youth' on Monday, May 16,1994, which talked of the conference organized by Cabrini Connections to set a network of independent program organizers to pool knowledge ans share resources to identify areas where more help is required and help establish mentoring programs in those areas with volunteers, donors and corporate sponsors.
• 1994-06-27 Betsy Densmore faxed letter of support from Chicago Bar Foundation for work with T/MC.
• 1995-02-14 Chicago Bar Foundation partnership agreement with T/MC signed for 1995.
• 1996-12-16 A photo story on the front Page of the Daily Law Bulletin in Chicago was titled "Young professionals make gift to tutor-mentor fund". Pictured were Dan Bassill of the T/MC, Betsy Densmore of the Chicago Bar Foundation, Don Hubert, President of the Chicago Bar Association and Tim Green, a management consultant at Deloitte & Touche. Tim's Group worked with the T/MC and the Lend A Hand to create an event that raised funds for tutor/mentor programs.
• 2000-09-14 The Executive Directory of the Ecumenical Child Care Network (ECCN) sent me an email offering to a) co sponsor conferences and do workshops; b) web link; c) share T/MC in ECCN networks; d) cross promote in newsletters, and e) continue discussion of how our two organizations can work together.
• 2000-09-14 Was cc'd on an email from Don Samuelson, whom I've been networking with for more than a year. Don was writing to the following people: alicia-clifford@uchicago.edu; dwalters13@mailcity.com (Danielle Walters), vdorsey@thecha.org; Darkwa@uic.edu, bakerd@iit.edu; Kalven@aol.com; DBarnes@thecha.org (Barnes,Diana); LHutchin@thecha.org (Hutchinson,Linda); PSM97@aol.com; dshannon@midway.uchicago.edu;Paula1077@aol.com; eadsd@student.northpark.edu Don wrote: We should really be developing some "tutoring" relationship in Stateway between Martin Luther King Drive and the kids at Stateway. Similar to the various tutoring programs that have been in operation at Cabrini. And between students at IIT and the kids at Stateway. Will very much be helped if it can be assisted by the Internet. Nelda? Elliott Donnelley? Crispus Attucks? Raymond? DeLaSalle? Phillips? Lots of resources to be connected. What is the most effective way of raising awareness, and aggregating and informing demand? Perhaps there could be a delegation from the Stateway community that could attend the Tutor Mentor conference. Might be a very good idea. Perhaps Phillip Jackson could be helpful in this area. Sounds like something in which he would have a real interest.
• 2000-09-14 Represented the T/MC in the LAN 65 resource fair at Truman College
• 2000-09-16 In my email minutes of The Mentoring Coalition of San Diego County's General Meeting of September 13, 2000 the following paragraph was included: " This month's "MentoReview" (The newsletter of the Mentoring Coalition of San Diego County) had a feature article about the "Chicago Plan" for mentoring program support.

• 2000-09-22 Sent letter to Sharon M. Shipinski of the Center for Research in Law and Justice at UIC. I included a TQM chart showing the various programs the legal community supports as separate projects, but which all converge in a neighborhood as services intended to help kids and families. Some of these are balanced & restorative justice, juvenil justice, violence prevention, etc.
• 2000-09-28 Call for Doris Garrett, Ill. Dept of Human Services. Requested more conf brochures. Offered to provide list of Project Success and Tean Reach sites around state. Still working on ways to help expand connection of T/MC with Dept. of Human Services.

• 2000-10-09 Email from Nicole Rosa in Denver who is beginning to build an on-line math tutoring "HUB" with T/MC ideas. My last email to her was " I also suggest you go in another direction. What should a parent be considering in making a decision on choosing an on-line tutor? What fees should a parent expect? What guarantees or refunds are available? Is there any body of knowledge you can point to or create that would make visitors want to come to your site as a reference for on-line tutoring? The internet is the wild west in terms of commerce and tutoring is a very subjective area. Can you take a lead and help educate the consumer from your site? Can you link to organizations who also are trying to do this? She wrote: "I really like where you're going with this, Dan! The field of on-line tutoring is wide open with absolutely no guidelines. You're giving me all sorts of ideas. I could be the person to sort of pull all of this together. I will start working on your suggestions!

• 2000-10-11 I contacted The Great Books Foundation for a raffle donation for the 14th T/MC Conference scheduled for November 9 & 10, 2000. The initial conversation for a donation led into a more in-depth conversation in which we shared information about our organizations.

• 2000-10-11 Email conversation started with Craig Anthony Thomas, ExDir of the Kalamazoo Chapter of World Organization of Web Masters. By Friday, his message was:"Please re-send as I will bring up your proposal to two groups here -- the Kalamazoo Area Service-Learning Alliance as well as the Kalamazoo chapter of the World Organization of Webmasters. Both meetings take place Tuesday at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., respectively. It is my impression from frequent visits to your site that Kalamazoo folks could go piggyback with your efforts in a viable parnership. I'll also check out your upcoming November conference as a in-service training session that our group leaders can attend. The information you share helps me make a compelling case for a partnership.

• 2000-12-18 Contacted the Arab American Action Network Youth Program as part of our Outreach efforts. Learned about their program, which currently is using high school students to tutor younger kids. Needs include trying to recruit adult/college students as tutors. The program manager, Hatem A., has tried recruiting with not a lot of success. Challenges could be the time of the program, which is 4:30. We discussed the value in using high school students, but the need exists to better train them and to educate the parents on the value of using high school students.
• 2000-12-20 Met with Tom Holub,from Edgewood College in MAdison, WI, to review collaborative strategies for next six months. Cabrini Connections has been working with Edgewood for three years.

We presented this info verbally and as a handout at the Fall 2000 MFN conference in Chicago. Paul will post this on both organization's web sites.
• 2000-12-28 Contacted Sunlight African Community Center as part of our outreach work. Learned more about the program and some of their challenges. Two of the top challenges are need for more funds and need for volunteers. We talked about using the high school students as volunteers because they need community service hours. Lack of parent involvement is another challenge. The program's founder has done a lot of networking with local organizations, especially other organizations that target immigrants.
• 2000-12-29 Jayne Cravens, leader of the Virtual Volunteering Project, located in Texas, included this endorsement in a message she posted on the MentorNet list, "There are a lot of other quality mentoring support programs out there as well. I strongly agree with Dan Bassill: "The more choices an organization or community have to draw from the better decisions they will make as to their own vision and direction." Definitely look at Tutor/Mentor Connection and other mentoring program web sites as well."
• 2000-12-31 Receive this email from Mason Scholl: I saw the front page article in today's Trib about Cabrini Connections. I don't know whether words of congratulations or consolation or both are appropriate. What is the short-term and long-term implications of Wards exit on your work? I also want to let you know that the one of the priorities of the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church as it relates to children is after-school programs. A significant proposal has been sent to the denominations Board of Global Ministries requesting funds for this purpose. This has been pushed by the Aurora District Superintendent, Rev. Deborah Fisher. Right after New Years, I plan to call her and find out what she knows about your work and suggest that she contact you. This may be another way some networking can begin.
• 2001-01-02 Debbie Hampton, Executive Director of Ecumenical Child Care Network (ECCN) asked me to write a story for the front page of their next newsletter.
• 2001-01-02 Tea Akbar, Executive Director of Partners in Education, sponsored by 4th Presbyterian Church in Chicago, called to offer following news. 1) she's moving to board of education and her spot will not be filled; 2) she is recommending that 4th Church consider becoming a major sponsor of Cabrini Connections since they are considering adopting an off-site program

I also encouraged her to document her contacts via OHATS
• 2001-01-10 Contacted Rockwell-Grant Youth Project as part of our outreach efforts. Rockwell-Grant is listed in our directory. Learned that they are looking at some changes to the program, primarily focusing its services more on youth as opposed to the entire family, as before. This will allow them to serve more youth. Also, because of violence in Rockwell Gardens, it makes outreach into the community difficult and dangerous. The program is primarily in-school and there's a need for day time mentors & tutors.
• 2001-01-11 Contacted Onward Neighborhood House as part of our outreach efforts. Learned that they are collaborating with East Village and that 7-8 of their students to East Village for tutoring. Onward is also part of a collaboration with Erie and Association Houses and other agencies for Youth Options Unlimited. In addition, learned that Onward recived a grant from Kraft to start a career-related mentoring program. I provided some ideas of how to implement this. I also suggested to try to incorporate it into what they are already doing, as opposed to creating something new and separate. I also suggested they contact some of their current collaboration partners for ideas, including Erie Neighborhood House who had been offering a career mentoring program in the past, I believe. In addition, I sent some how to start a program information.

It's not a perfect slot for you, but as I have time to rework the page, we'll do a better job of it. I haven't forgotten you. In fact, am really glad you're doing your thing for our kids. We hope to do a program about the Digital Divide for our librarian colleagues in Atlanta in June 2002. If you know of someone in that region who is doing something similar, I'd appreciate knowing about him/her. We have a representative from the feds, who assists librarians with grants for projects to end the divide (or take a stab at it at least), and we'll need to find someone else to address the issue -- a panel of three. I'd ask you, but I can't afford to fly you down to Atlanta!
• 2001-01-22 Mark Skibinski from Peoria sent email update: Everything is moving along here. I've been meeting with Sue about planning recruitment events as well as a recognition event for those who have volunteered or mentored. But I was wondering if you have heard of either Mankind Project or Mentors Action Network in Chicago. My agency has been in contact with a represenative and he wants to come down and give a presentation to our CEO, myself, and Farrell Davies about his program and I was wondering if you have heard of these groups? I am also looking to secure some funding to attend your workshop in May. I also wanted to let you know we did receive the Americorps help and will be utiling them with our Peoria's Promise effort.
• 2001-01-27 Received email from Mason Scholl introducing me to people from the faith network, such as Eccumenical Child Care Network. He had sent an email to a person who works with NIC local church after-school programs. He wrote, "I am sending you is one from Dan Bassill, Ex.

He would like to connect with our NIC effort at after-school programs and has much information to exchange with us. I would like at the appropriate time to introduce him to the leadership of the NIC after-school movement.

• 2001-01-31 Contacted Saint Pres Youth Center as part of our outreach efforts. Learned about their program, which is primarily an after-school program for grammar school kids. They have a need for volunteers plus more structure for their volunteer program. There are not a lot of businesses around the neighborhood, which makes volunteer recruitment challenging. I referred him to the Carol Robertson Center which is in the same zip code to ask how they recruit volunteers. I also sent info on volunteer recruitment and retainment.
• 2001-02-01 Andy Carvin, Senior Associate, Benton Foundation, http://edweb.gsn.org/andy, http://www.DigitalDivideNetwork.org, created a survey to get a sense of what type of people are on the Digital Divide list and why they use it.

• 2001-11-29 Tom Klaus, of the Legacy Group, distributed the following message to his email newsletter network: ARE YOU DOING TUTORING & MENTORING? CHECK THIS OUT! Recently I had the opportunity to speak at a conference in Chicago for a group that, frankly, I knew very little about. I had agreed to speak at the conference because the person who recommended it to me was someone whose judgment I trust and advice I value. As it turns out it was one of those really serendipitous experiences. The conference was the semi-annual Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference. The driving force behind the conference is Dr. Daniel Bassill, who is President of Cabrini Connections and the Tutor/Mentor Connection. Dr. Bassil is a passionate leader who firmly believes in the power of one human life to affect another for good. While much of Dan's work is focused on Chicago, he has also helped facilitate the creation of a nationwide network of organizations and individuals who are involved in tutoring and mentoring. If you or your organization are involved in tutoring and mentoring, Dan Bassill is someone you need to know and the May Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference is an event you need to get on your calendar. Even now Dan and Aimee Sherman, the Conference Coordinator, are working on that event. In fact, you can submit to present. For more information, contact Aimee at aimeeconfplan@hotmail.com. Also, take a few minutes and visit the website of the Tutor/Mentor Connection at www.tutormentorexchange.net. You'll be glad you did!

I hope once funds become available, I can get permission to travel to Chicago to meet with you to discuss your program and how we can offer similar services in Michigan.

This is in response to a message I sent encouraging her organization to host a portion of the May and Nov eConference. " Fantastic! Thanks Daniel. Despite working in a Technology College, IT isn't my strong point, but we do have internet conferencing facilities in the school and i've forwarded your email to various staff who should be able to help with the technical aspects. I've also forwarded it to the 'Learning Mentor Co-ordinator' for the whole of Birmingham. I'm sure she'll be keen to get involved and is regularly in touch with mentors in all of the 100 secondary schools (ages 11-16/18) in the city - Birmingham is apparently the biggest local government education authority in Europe, including a wide range of diverse communities, so there should be plenty of scope for learning from each other. I'll let you know when i hear back from other staff and have more idea about the possibilities at our end. I'll go back to your website for more detailed information about the internet conferences and look forward to making plans.

• 2005-03-11 Received email today from Janet Salmons, who I've worked with previously in conferneces such as Wired.org. She wrote, "When I read your newsletters I always try to think of some way we could do something together again, and this time I have an idea! TechSoup.org has asked me to host an online "event" on the topic of education and the digital divide, focusing on online learning and collaboration tools/spaces. I have a lot of experience with online learning in academic settings, which do bridge the divide for a lot of people who would otherwise not be able to continue their education. I also have a lot of experience with online collaboration. But currently I do not have work going that uses these tools in community-based ways. So I wondered whether you might be interested to join me as a co-host for this proposed event? Between the two of us we cover a lot of ground. If you are interested we can refine these broad topics and decide how to approach the event. " I agreed and we're aiming to host a week-line event during the week of April 18.

Thank you for encouraging me to move forward with this concept. It looks like we're making progress. Should you have any other guidance to share (once your hands aren't so full), I'll be ready to listen. By the way, the Harriet Barlowe piece really struck pay dirt because our CEO is actually from NY and was very familiar with her work.

Thanks again!" The attendance was the lowest 2-day attendance since 1994. Those who attended benefited, as the comment above indicates.

If this happens, the Jefferson Awards nominations and information will be on the websites of all 100 United States Senators this year.
