Dear Pam,

I double checked the original email address I had for you and the one you gave me yesterday and they are the same so I decided to send this through the eGroups as well as your email to make sure you get it.

I also recruited David Strohl at this fair.  He is a great tutor, dedicated and a good speaker.  His student is shy and won't participate.  David's number is hm: (773) 772- 2678, wrk:(312)925-0674. 

Two more possibilities which the students have said no problem and I know the adults to be helpful, not camara shy and who know our mission well are : Mark Sumrall/Larry Daige and Alicia Hall/Laurie Streeter.

Mark Sumrall, student- no phone but I see him daily, his tutor, Larry Daigel spends a lot of outside tutoring time with Mark.  Mark is honor-roll, extra involved student (also a qtpie).  Larry's number is wrk:(312) 795-8068 hm: (773) 755-8487.

Finally, both Alicia Hall and her tutor, Laurie Streeter have experience speaking about Cabrini Connections on TV.  Alicia is a senior so this pair has been together long term.  Alicia (312) 397-9095 also works for Cabrini Connections (312)943-5701, just got back from Aspen (Cabrini Connections trip, and went to Ireland last year through CC.  Laurie Streeter might have new numbers.  If these are not current, Alicia has her current numbers for sure.  The numbers I have for Laurie are wrk: (312) 765-8509 and hm: (773) 989-1032.

Ranshia Taylor and Nakia Clement might also be a possibility, let me know if you need this reference.  Please let me know you received this info.  jackie21cabrinic@... or (312) 943-5701.  I'll try to call and follow-up be I have an absolutely killer schedule so if you could just let me know if you need anything, I'll get right back to you.

Talk to you soon.

Jackie

Hello everyone.  I wanted to inform you that as of August 11, I am leaving my
position as Volunteer Coordinator at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls (am going to
grad school to pursue a teaching career).

With this in mind, we are looking for someone to fill the position, and hope to
do so before my departure so I can assist in the training.  Please spread the
word to your friends, family and colleagues about the opening, and refer any
interested candidates to Tim Henry, VP of Volunteer Resources, Mercy Home for
Boys and Girls, 312/738-4384.

Mercy Home is a great agency to work for, and the volunteer programs are
effective and very well run.  The position is challenging, multi-faceted and
offers room for growth.  Feel free to call me directly with questions: 
312/738-7554.

It's been a pleasure collaborating with all of you - keep up the good work!

Erin Burden
P.S.  Reid, I'll be calling you in the next couple of days to pass along any
info for the VRC.  (And Arman will still be involved in the campaign.)

Hi Dan and Reid,

Good news!  Barry Keefe of WTMX-FM will be running PSA's about VRC beginning

further government and corporate support.

2.  First Lady Lura Lynn Ryan will be the Honorary Chair of the 2000
Campaign.  This is a great beginning as it is the first year we have
had an honorary chair.  We are still working on what her
participation
will be but are expecting her to be at the press conference at the
Thompson Center on September 7 as well as do other media, PSA's, and
recruit additional support for all our programs.  All programs are
asked to share this exciting information with their co-workers, board

part of a comprehensive recruitment plan.  Enclosed is a new 2000

Hi Reid!

I hope everything is well with you.  I would like to talk with you about the
Volunteer Recruitment Campaign and how PCI can help you publicize this campaign.
Please call me next week at 312/558-1770 or let me know when we can talk. 
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Here are a few updates since our last meeting:

1.  The WTMX Radio volunteer event at Gads Hill Center was a complete
success.  Britta reported that they had about 12 volunteers doing loads
of painting and organizing.  She even got a new volunteer for one of
their students out of it!  We are now following up with WTMX about
sponsorships, PSA's and other forms of support for the Campaign.  WXRT
has agreed to make a link from their Web site to ours.  I am continuing
to find other radio stations to do the same.

2.  I have been in contact with the Department of Human Services about
becoming involved in the Campaign and year-round recruiting.  The talks
are just starting but I am hoping for lots of good things to come out
of it.  We are hoping to take the Campaign state-wide with their help.

3.  My talks with the Chicago Archdioses have been varied and very
interesting.  I am learning lots about that particular system, both its
strengths and faults.  There is a lot of interest in helping to build
our Campaign as I speak to more and more people and hoping soon to find
a few individuals to take this on as a bigger cause within the church.
I'll let you know what comes of it.  We have many more conversations to
come.  If you know of any churches that have Tutor/Mentor programs
please let me know as we have a variety of ways to involve them in our
Campaign.

4.  Since our last meeting we now have Jesse Jackson's signature.  More
to come.  Please send me the signatures of your CEO's and others if you
have them.  I want to have a solid first Manifesto completed by the
beginning of June.

5.  New sites for September Fairs include the Depaul Music Mart on
September 7 & 8, as well as Barbara's Bookstore in Oak Park, Richard
Daley Library, Border's Books and Music in Beverly.  I am working to
find new Sothside sites.  Please contact me with suggestions.  I had a
very successful meeting with Caldwell Banker who manages the Thompson
Center.  They are discussing how to help with promotions but it should
be a great help to raising the visibility and attendance at the
Thompson Center Fair on September 7.  I have a meeting in a few weeks
with Barnes and Nobel Boostore and they seem really excited about
getting on board.  It will be for the location at Webster Place in
Chicago but could expand to others as times goes forward.  Lots of
other discussions going on.  I thank all committee members who have
been in contact with me.  I hope to hear from you all soon so we can
have a solid new plan in place by our next committee meeting.

6.  We now have Food Life at Water Tower involved in recruiting.  We
will be having two Fair dates there during the Campaign:  September 7 &
8 from 11-2 pm.  I am looking for a Host, if interested contact me.
They have agreed to do a variety of marketing efforts on our behalf and
we can display volunteer information there year-round.  We are also
going to be participating in their Earth Day event on April 21 with
three programs recruiting.  Uhlich Children's Home will Host the
location for us and so far we also have Lawrence Hall Youth Services
participating.  I am waiting for the third program to confirm.  This is
a very exciting new addition to our recruitment efforts and it will
only get better over time.

7.  Please keep me informed of ways that I can begin my communications
efforts and new site locations from your lists of board members,
volunteers and co-workers, especially in the Loop.  You can call me at
773-871-5344 or by Email at reidschultz@....  Also, feel free to
post information here at this egroup location to keep other programs
and committee members informed of what's happening on your end.  As
always, your involvement in our Campaign is crucial to continue to make
it as successful as it can be and it is really growing.

8.  A reminder, the next Committee meeting is Wednesday, April 26 at 10
am at Literacy Volunteers of America, 30 E. Adams, 11th floor.  Please
RSVP to me.

Hope you're all well and I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Warm Regards,  Reid Schultz

Hello Committee Members,

I hope you are all enjoying the burgeoning warm weather.  I am
sending
the minutes from the last committee meeting and reminding you all
that
the next meeting is in a few weeks...Friday, June 23 at 10 am at 30
E.
Adams, 11th floor.  This is the Literacy Volunteers of America office.

Thank you to all who have stayed in regular contact since our last
meeting.  There are still so many great possibilites happening that I
hope to have as many confirmations as possible for the upcoming
meeting.  Some of these possibilities are new recruitment sites at
Sears Tower and Navy Pier, as well as a variety of new marketing
efforts coming from major store chains and banks looking to promote
the
campaign and overall volunteerism.  Some definite news to tell is
that
in our first attempt to have an Honorary Chair for the campaign we
have
secures Mrs. Ryan, the Governor's wife, as our Chair!  We are still
in
discussions about all that her role will entail but the publicity and
visibility possibilities are great, and she is very excited about
promoting all your volunteer needs.  Her involvement has already
opened
the door to further meetings with state agencies as we build on our
already strong marketing efforts for the campaign and all year round.

This is very exciting news that I hope you share with all your co-
workers, board members and volunteers to continue to engage their
excitement and involvement in promoting the campaign through their
own
unique resources.  As we become more successful in obtaining the
support from individuals in positions to promote all your needs on a
more vast scale, we need to all be sharing this information as this
kind of enthusiam and excitement is contageous and leads to more and
more exchanging of ideas and creation of concrete plans about deeper
ways to reach the public and recruit volunteers.  I hope you all see
the potential in using the information shared at these meetings and
on
this eGroup.

I expect to have other wonderful updates for the next meeting along
with a template for a press release and more.  You can also begin to
sign up for recruitment sites then.  Please remember to get your CEO/
President/Executive Director signatures to me for the Manifesto, and
your CAN TV descriptions for the cable listings in August and
September.  We are in the last stages of the planning for the 2000
campaign.  Let's keep the momentum going as we have the great
possibility for this to be our biggest and most successful campaign
yet...thanks to all of you.

Please RSVP to me for the next meeting at 773-871-5344 or by posting
a
notice here back to me and all other members.  And please call me if
you have agenda items or ideas that we can put in place in the next
few
weeks.  Thanks again and see you soon....Reid.

Reid,

I am sorry, but I will not be able to attend the June 23rd meeting because
it's the day of our annual youth peace rally.

Thanks,

Hello Committee Members,

I hope you are all enjoying the burgeoning warm weather.  I am
sending
the minutes from the last committee meeting and reminding you all
that
the next meeting is in a few weeks...Friday, June 23 at 10 am at 30
E.
Adams, 11th floor.  This is the Literacy Volunteers of America office.

Thank you to all who have stayed in regular contact since our last
meeting.  There are still so many great possibilites happening that I
hope to have as many confirmations as possible for the upcoming
meeting.  Some of these possibilities are new recruitment sites at
Sears Tower and Navy Pier, as well as a variety of new marketing
efforts coming from major store chains and banks looking to promote
the
campaign and overall volunteerism.  Some definite news to tell is
that
in our first attempt to have an Honorary Chair for the campaign we
have
secures Mrs. Ryan, the Governor's wife, as our Chair!  We are still
in
discussions about all that her role will entail but the publicity and
visibility possibilities are great, and she is very excited about
promoting all your volunteer needs.  Her involvement has already
opened
the door to further meetings with state agencies as we build on our
already strong marketing efforts for the campaign and all year round.

This is very exciting news that I hope you share with all your co-
workers, board members and volunteers to continue to engage their
excitement and involvement in promoting the campaign through their
own
unique resources.  As we become more successful in obtaining the
support from individuals in positions to promote all your needs on a
more vast scale, we need to all be sharing this information as this
kind of enthusiam and excitement is contageous and leads to more and
more exchanging of ideas and creation of concrete plans about deeper
ways to reach the public and recruit volunteers.  I hope you all see
the potential in using the information shared at these meetings and
on
this eGroup.

I expect to have other wonderful updates for the next meeting along
with a template for a press release and more.  You can also begin to
sign up for recruitment sites then.  Please remember to get your CEO/
President/Executive Director signatures to me for the Manifesto, and
your CAN TV descriptions for the cable listings in August and
September.  We are in the last stages of the planning for the 2000
campaign.  Let's keep the momentum going as we have the great
possibility for this to be our biggest and most successful campaign
yet...thanks to all of you.

Please RSVP to me for the next meeting at 773-871-5344 or by posting
a
notice here back to me and all other members.  And please call me if
you have agenda items or ideas that we can put in place in the next
few
weeks.  Thanks again and see you soon....Reid.

Hi friends,

I've received four 100-word profiles from you for the next T/MC
Report
newsletter. I'd like to receivev a few more. I also encourage you to
post them to me as a response to the egroup message. That way
everyone
else in the group gets to know your program better AND this message
stays on the eGroup archive.  As we get more visitors to come and
review our history, they will find your profile here.  You get
lasting
benefit.

Enjoy the weekend!

Dan Bassill

Hi Dan-
Thanks for this great opportunity.  I put together a piece on Lawrence Hall.
Let me know if you need additional info or anything else (or if you can't

Newsletter


I'm writing the summer issue of the T/MC Report newsletter which we
send to about 8500 people in Chicago and around the nation. I'd like
to
include brief profiles of some of your programs.

Please take a few moments to write a 100 word introduction that tells
who your program is, who it serves, why you think it is making a
difference, and how a volunteer or donor could contact you. Include
the
address where services are provided and if you have a web site be
sure
to include that.  A quote from a youth, parent or volunteer would be
great to include.

I will include six or seven of these in the next newsletter, choosing
from those I receive before Friday, May 26th.

If you have questions, please email me at tutormentor2@....

Thanks for your help.  In this same issue of the newsletter, Reid
will
be including a story on the recruitment campaign, so your profiles
will
help draw attention to your individual programs.

Hello Everyone,

Here are a few updates since our last meeting:

1.  The WTMX Radio volunteer event at Gads Hill Center was a complete
success.  Britta reported that they had about 12 volunteers doing loads
of painting and organizing.  She even got a new volunteer for one of
their students out of it!  We are now following up with WTMX about
sponsorships, PSA's and other forms of support for the Campaign.  WXRT
has agreed to make a link from their Web site to ours.  I am continuing
to find other radio stations to do the same.

2.  I have been in contact with the Department of Human Services about
becoming involved in the Campaign and year-round recruiting.  The talks
are just starting but I am hoping for lots of good things to come out
of it.  We are hoping to take the Campaign state-wide with their help.

3.  My talks with the Chicago Archdioses have been varied and very
interesting.  I am learning lots about that particular system, both its
strengths and faults.  There is a lot of interest in helping to build
our Campaign as I speak to more and more people and hoping soon to find
a few individuals to take this on as a bigger cause within the church.
I'll let you know what comes of it.  We have many more conversations to
come.  If you know of any churches that have Tutor/Mentor programs
please let me know as we have a variety of ways to involve them in our
Campaign.

4.  Since our last meeting we now have Jesse Jackson's signature.  More
to come.  Please send me the signatures of your CEO's and others if you
have them.  I want to have a solid first Manifesto completed by the
beginning of June.

5.  New sites for September Fairs include the Depaul Music Mart on
September 7 & 8, as well as Barbara's Bookstore in Oak Park, Richard
Daley Library, Border's Books and Music in Beverly.  I am working to
find new Sothside sites.  Please contact me with suggestions.  I had a
very successful meeting with Caldwell Banker who manages the Thompson
Center.  They are discussing how to help with promotions but it should
be a great help to raising the visibility and attendance at the
Thompson Center Fair on September 7.  I have a meeting in a few weeks
with Barnes and Nobel Boostore and they seem really excited about
getting on board.  It will be for the location at Webster Place in
Chicago but could expand to others as times goes forward.  Lots of
other discussions going on.  I thank all committee members who have
been in contact with me.  I hope to hear from you all soon so we can
have a solid new plan in place by our next committee meeting.

6.  We now have Food Life at Water Tower involved in recruiting.  We
will be having two Fair dates there during the Campaign:  September 7 &
8 from 11-2 pm.  I am looking for a Host, if interested contact me.
They have agreed to do a variety of marketing efforts on our behalf and
we can display volunteer information there year-round.  We are also
going to be participating in their Earth Day event on April 21 with
three programs recruiting.  Uhlich Children's Home will Host the
location for us and so far we also have Lawrence Hall Youth Services
participating.  I am waiting for the third program to confirm.  This is
a very exciting new addition to our recruitment efforts and it will
only get better over time.

7.  Please keep me informed of ways that I can begin my communications
efforts and new site locations from your lists of board members,
volunteers and co-workers, especially in the Loop.  You can call me at
773-871-5344 or by Email at reidschultz@....  Also, feel free to
post information here at this egroup location to keep other programs
and committee members informed of what's happening on your end.  As
always, your involvement in our Campaign is crucial to continue to make
it as successful as it can be and it is really growing.

8.  A reminder, the next Committee meeting is Wednesday, April 26 at 10
am at Literacy Volunteers of America, 30 E. Adams, 11th floor.  Please
RSVP to me.

Hope you're all well and I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Warm Regards,  Reid Schultz

Now that Reid has added you to this group and sent you the minutes of the last meeting let me thank you for your joint efforts and encourage you to use this to share your successes, build your network and expand the group of individuals and organizations working with us to bring more visibility, volunteers and dollars to each tutor/mentor site in the city.

I'll look forward to reading about the many success each of you have in building this year's Volunteer Recruitment Campaign.

1.  Dates for 2000 Volunteer Recruitment Fairs are September 7—9.
Updated information was discussed since last meeting.  See agenda for
updates on sites and maifesto signatures.  Additional sites and Hosts
are needed.  A discussion about new sites was had.  We will be at Oak
Park Barbara's Bookstore again on Sat. September 9 and the Richard
Daley Library on September 7 and 8.  Reid is exploring Sears Tower,
Water Tower, Barnes and Nobel Bookstores.  We discussed Other
possibilities such as Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, Borders in
Beverly, Navy Pier, Board of Trade, Merchatile Exchange, Rogers Park
Library, St. Clements Church in Lincoln Park.  We are also looking for
additional sites in Lincoln Park, Pilsen, Dolton, Calumet City, and
additional sites in the loop.  If you have contacts in any of these
areas for sites call Reid.  Your input and involvement is crucial if
the Campaign is going to continue to grow.  Reid is also working on a
variety of marketing ideas for the Campaign including meetings with the
Thompson Center Merchants Association, Archdioses, banks, radio
stations, plus others, and working on obtaining new Manifesto
signatures.  Campaign goals are included in agenda.  We need your help
to make these goals a reality.

2.  Committee members are requested to make a list of the places their
employees and board members work, attend religious services and are
members of groups or associations.  We will use it for follow-ups to
find additional fair site locations, and other forms of marketing
support for the 2000 Campaign as well as year-round.  Having this
information available to you is an important part of a comprehensive
recruitment plan.  Included in the agenda is a corporate involvement
letter that you can adapt for your needs and that Reid will use for
corporate and other forms of support.  We are also looking for sponsors
for the Campaign.  Let Reid know if you have any media or corporate
contacts for advertising and sponsorships.  Included is also a new 2000
Manifesto letter.  We would like committee members to get the
signatures of their CEOs and other prominant figures.  You can send the
signed Manifestos to Reid and make additional xeroxes as needed.

3.   Year-round recruitment awareness was discussed, including use of
newsletters and business displays in neighborhood stores, banks and
restaurants.  We have included in the agenda a copy of a neighborhood
brochure we have made that can be tailored to any neighborhhod for
placements in various locations.  Also the year round use of Chicago
Cable CAN TV who have now created a "Volunteer Opportunities" site all
year round.  Call Reid for both neighborhood brochure and CAN TV
information.

4.  The Different Drummer TV show was aired on February 12 and was a
complete success.  We are in discussions about follow up programs on

1.  Dates for 2000 Volunteer Recruitment Fairs are September 7—9.
Updated information was discussed since last meeting.  See agenda for
updates on sites and maifesto signatures.  Additional sites and Hosts
are needed.  A discussion about new sites was had.  We will be at Oak
Park Barbara's Bookstore again on Sat. September 9 and the Richard
Daley Library on September 7 and 8.  Reid is exploring Sears Tower,
Water Tower, Barnes and Nobel Bookstores.  We discussed Other
possibilities such as Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, Borders in
Beverly, Navy Pier, Board of Trade, Merchatile Exchange, Rogers Park
Library, St. Clements Church in Lincoln Park.  We are also looking for
additional sites in Lincoln Park, Pilsen, Dolton, Calumet City, and
additional sites in the loop.  If you have contacts in any of these
areas for sites call Reid.  Your input and involvement is crucial if
the Campaign is going to continue to grow.  Reid is also working on a
variety of marketing ideas for the Campaign including meetings with the
Thompson Center Merchants Association, Archdioses, banks, radio
stations, plus others, and working on obtaining new Manifesto
signatures.  Campaign goals are included in agenda.  We need your help
to make these goals a reality.

2.  Committee members are requested to make a list of the places their
employees and board members work, attend religious services and are
members of groups or associations.  We will use it for follow-ups to
find additional fair site locations, and other forms of marketing
support for the 2000 Campaign as well as year-round.  Having this
information available to you is an important part of a comprehensive
recruitment plan.  Included in the agenda is a corporate involvement
letter that you can adapt for your needs and that Reid will use for
corporate and other forms of support.  We are also looking for sponsors
for the Campaign.  Let Reid know if you have any media or corporate
contacts for advertising and sponsorships.  Included is also a new 2000
Manifesto letter.  We would like committee members to get the
signatures of their CEOs and other prominant figures.  You can send the
signed Manifestos to Reid and make additional xeroxes as needed.

3.   Year-round recruitment awareness was discussed, including use of
newsletters and business displays in neighborhood stores, banks and
restaurants.  We have included in the agenda a copy of a neighborhood
brochure we have made that can be tailored to any neighborhhod for
placements in various locations.  Also the year round use of Chicago
Cable CAN TV who have now created a "Volunteer Opportunities" site all
year round.  Call Reid for both neighborhood brochure and CAN TV
information.

4.  The Different Drummer TV show was aired on February 12 and was a
complete success.  We are in discussions about follow up programs on
tutor/mentor topics.  Thanks to all who participated!

The 1999 Tutor/Mentor Volunteer Recruitment Campaign, "What A
Difference A Day Makes!" was a rousing success.  In total, 87 programs
participated in the Campaign, with many now reporting recruiting
wonderful new volunteers who are already paired up with children, and
over 3 million people received information about the Campaign through
media stories, and approximately 50,550 people received information
about the 1999 Campaign through Fair sites and flyer distribution, an
increase of over 15% from the 1998 Campaign.  In only its fifth year,
the Campaign has grown over 1,200% since 1995!

With the help of volunteers, program leaders, business, faith and
community leaders from throughout the Chicago region, this growing
trend should continue well into the new millennium.

Now in it's sixth year, the Campaign seeks to connect more business,
professional, faith-group, and community volunteers with more of
Chicago's youth, in structured, creative after-school and in-school
programs throughout the city.  While there are many such programs, our
survey shows that fewer than 10,000 adults are serving as one-on-one
mentors in structured programs.  This is a number we seek to increase
each year.

Preparations are already being made for our 2000 Campaign.  We will
begin the Campaign in August and have set the 2000 Volunteer
Recruitment Campaign Fair dates for Thursday, September 7, Friday,
September 8, and Saturday, September 9.

The timing of the Campaign coincides with the beginning of a new school
year, a time when many after-school programs are looking for volunteers
to match with K-12 students.  While the Campaign's communication effort
is to motivate volunteers to join tutor/mentor programs who already are
running their own individual recruitment efforts, the Fairs also enable
adults to get information about a number of programs at the same time,
meeting program leaders and volunteers, and to sign up right at the
beginning of the recruitment season.

The goals for the 2000 Campaign include:

1.  Continue to attract the most individuals to volunteer to be a tutor
or mentor with one of the over 300 programs in the Chicago-area.
Create new sites to reach the most potential volunteers in Chicago
neighborhoods, suburbs and the Loop.

2.  Additional partnerships with corporations and individuals.  We are
looking for Honorary Chairs for the Campaign from various corporations,
institutions, and areas of government to provide leadership and
strategies to generate talent and dollars for all tutor and mentor
programs city-wide.  We are also looking for industries to take an
active role in creating a communications plan to help promote the
year-round need for additional volunteers to their employees and the
public.

3.  Finding media and corporate sponsors to help create marketing and
advertising strategies that utilize their funding to promote the
Campaign and the need for tutors and mentors year-round.

4.  Increased faith-group support and involvement in taking an active
role in promoting the Campaign and tutoring and mentoring year-round to
their congregations.

5.  Establishing additional neighborhood and community recruitment
collaborative efforts to help  promote and support tutor and mentor
programs within their business areas during the Campaign and
year-round.

I am hoping to secure your assistance in making our goals a reality.
Please visit the T/MC web site at www.tutormentorconnection.org to
learn what the T/MC  has done in the past to build the capacity of
tutor/mentor programs  in Chicago, and what we and you can do together
to expand this movement.

Please  join this eGroups list so that you can share your own vision
and become part of an action-oriented team who have gone beyond "talk"
to doing the necessary work to bring more volunteers into tutor/mentor
programs throughout the city.  You can make a difference in the life of
one child, and thousand of children. By participating from an eGroup,
you can do this from your home or office, at anytime of the day or
night.

I look forward to meeting you in person and on-line.


Warm Regards,



Daniel F. Bassill
