Hi all,
It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything. Just wanted to let you know that we’re still here! Year 3 is in it’s second half, and we’ve got about 20 consistent tutors; THANK YOU!
Happy new year all. More to come…

All but one of our tutors from last year, is returning for our Third Year!
Our starting lineup includes Garrett, Dan, Vivek, Marcia, Hallie, Karen, Frank, Bob, Jeanine, Elizabeth, Mike, Steph, and Angela.
Our newest tutors are Megan and Su, and our new subs are Stephanie M, Tracie, and Becki.
Thank you to all of you who make this program possible!!!
the new village
“Solving our nation’s urban education problems will take more than amazing teachers and competent administration.
It will take MORE than policy changes from Washington that bring more resources. It will take MORE than cooperation from local police departments and the care of social service agencies. It will take the involvement of businesses, museums, cultural institutions, CHURCHES, and hospitals…
Personal success often begins with someone knowing that victory is a possibility.”…

Schedule Updates are here!
Our confirmed Fall 2008 dates have been posted in the widget on the right-hand side.
We are looking for a few substitutes for our Fall term, so if you are interested, please drop us a comment and we’ll get back to you!
We’re very excited that all but one of our tutors from last year will be returning this fall! Your consistency is so important to the kids and to us. Thank you! We’re looking forward to a great year!

going on three…
Tonight we had our kick-off get-together for 313-ers. Thanks everyone who came out!
We are getting our schedules together as well as scouting out some subs to fill in the gaps for us this fall. If you know of anyone, please let us know ASAP!!! We’d like to get some consistent volunteers so that the kids can get to know them (instead of just passing the time with them).
We’re so excited to get Year Three off to a great start! Thanks for joining us!
(L-R, Frank, Dan, Megan, Mike, Bob, Garrett, Vivek, and Karen)
Season 3 – Coming, October 11th
We hope you enjoyed your summer off!
We’re up and running again! We’ve set our Fall schedule and we’re excited to meet with out tutors/mentors to talk about this Season’s happenings on Sunday, September 14th in Ann Arbor.
If you’re new to this group and are interested in joining, please drop us a comment and we’ll get you in the loop!
See you all soon!
Goodbye, Lisa
On Saturday, we said ‘Goodbye’ to Lisa, our longtime Tutor and Friend. Lisa will be leaving in January to work in IJM’s field office in Cambodia. We will miss her, and pray for her protection, safety, and blessing upon the lives she will touch in Cambodia.
The 313 Group is on break for the summer. Watch for program updates in late-August.
In the meantime, we’re working hard to bring you the 2nd Annual Serve Detroit Day, Saturday, August 11th, in conjunction with the Royal Oak Vineyard and LOGOS COGIC Church in Detroit.
Go here for more details! Blessings, The 313
Awards and Tigers Game Photos Online
This weekend’s awards ceremony and the Tigers v. Mets game that followed was heaps of fun and I’ve uploaded a few pictures from the day to a flickr photo set. Take a look when you have a chance, add any picture labels you want and if you have pictures of your own that you would be willing to share, email myself or Steph and we’ll make sure to get them in with the rest of the photos! See you on the 24th!
