• 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.

• 2000-09-22 Received following email from Kurstin Finch Gnehm, Project Manager, Public Libraries as Partners in Youth Development, Urban Libraries Council: I'm the Project Manager for a Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds grant called "Public Libraries as Partners in Youth Development."

The grant's goal is to help libraries to develop non-school-hour programs that encourage career development, school achievement, life skills, career skills, and positive youth development for teenagers in resource-challenged areas. We heard about your program through the Tutor/Mentor Connection website, which was recommended to us as a valuable tool for designing mentoring programs. I'd like to arrange a visit to your site with one of my colleagues, if that's possible. A great time for us is the 19th or 20th of October. We would love to see the environment and talk to staff!

This was a motivating point for all of us.The Chair of our Peoria's Promise was rejuvinized and we are forming a new focus group to re-evaluate what had taken place in the past and how we can move forward.
