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.

"Brothers; Those who know Dan know that he works tirelessly and without ceasing to help inner city kids find their way out of poverty and towards active, productive, educated lives. Dan Bassill embodies "Human Service" at its best. Dan's done this for a LONG time, often with little recognition. An award like this, while not the extra $$ that Dan needs to make his programs GO, likely goes some distance to help him keep up the fight. Suggestion: take a look in your pocket RIGHT NOW and send Dan a check for whatever you can spare.. even if it's "not much"... EVERYTHING helps.

This report provides a policy framework for a comprehensive approach to the digital divide with a heavy emphasis on building the capacity of community based organizations to produce relevant online content. Your organization is highlighted in the report and we regard you, and the others profiled, as pioneers that are pushing the community technology field to address the lack of technology capacity in the nonprofit sector. We view your program as a national model for building a new policy agenda that will include support for other community groups to use technology to promote their missions.

Zita Allen, a Senior Communications Associate at PolicyLink, will lead this effort. She will be in touch with you to discuss both national and local angles." I forwarded this to a few of the foundations that are now considering IT proposals from us.

These maps show schools on the November State Board of Education warning list, and tutor/mentor programs.

Our maps show many more programs available during the 3-5 time frame when most workplace volunteers are not able to participate in comprehensive tutor/mentor programs. Our maps show fewer programs for high school youth, which is a contributing factor to the high dropout rate of teens.

Your zeal for this project is infectious and makes me want to tell everyone I meet about how they can get involved in the effort. Because it is under my skin, so to speak, I bring its reference to many of my daily experiences. So, reading the newspaper becomes a quest for using that format to spread the word. The T/MC web site is awesome. Have you approached Jim Coates or anyone else in the Technology section of the Tribune about running an article on it? Seems to me that it is pretty special in the type and number of links and ideas it contains. I read Dear Abby every day just to see how the world beyond my experience gets on. Often there are letters from heads of organizations talking about their "month". It is a syndicated column and appears all over the world. A letter from you abut the campaign, its wide-reaching applicability, and a listing of the web site(s) might bring all kinds of results. Thanks for all you do for all of us. Good luck in the campaign. Mary " I asked Mary to send this endorsement to the Tribune herself. Moring
