If you would like to learn more about how your organization can recycle at your organization/business or next event please contact Cassie A.

4. Danie: With the NATO summit in Chicago in May I posted this article about how we might adopt planning strategies used by Generals to assure a better distribution of programs and resources in high poverty areas. http://www.scribd.com/daniel-f-bassill-7291/d/93233051-Planning-Cycle-War-on-Poverty

   I host a conference every six months in Chicago to bring people together who are involved in this work. The next is June 14 at First Unitarian Church in Hyde Park. I'm still looking for programs to be part of panels and talk for a few minutes about what they do. See http://www.tutormentorconference.org
