Some Snipets

Ouch!!  The other day I mentioned that Kids4Good was hosting a Haitian art exhibit with the opening this Saturday, Janurary 12th.  I put out the wrong address.  The exhibition will take place at the Haitian American Museum of Chicago.  The address is 4654 N. Racine, Chicago, IL.  This is certain to be a hit as we approach the third anniversary of the devastating earthquake.

GREAT NEWS!   Mary Mitchell, the award winning columnist of the Chicago Sun-Times has agreed to give the keynote address at our Donor/Volunteer Dinner on Tuesday, March 12th.  Along with the King Elementary School band, Mary is sure to spark some thoughtful discussion about inner city education.  Mary attended CPS schools and has a real understanding of the dynamics of neighborhood public education.  Just email me and let me know you are attending.

Todays Chicago Sun-Times reports that "The Walton Family Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Wal-Mart's founder, gave more money to Chicago to start new charter schools last year than it did to any other city - $3.8 million.  Okay, I will check their website and apply for some funding for SCC!
