[Dan Bassill]

Attention Chicago Area Tutor/Mentor Programs.

The Abraham Lincoln Marovtiz Lend A Hand Program of the Chicago Bar
Association was created to raise visibility in the Chicago Legal Community
that helps recruit volunteers and raise dollars for volunteer-based
tutoring/mentoring programs in Chicago.  Since 1995 more than $375,000 has
been distributed as small annual grants to Chicago volunteer-based
tutor/mentor programs.  The 2005 grants will be distributed in December.
Grant applications can be found at http://www.lend-a-hand.net.

On event that encourages lawyers, judges and law firms to get involved with
volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs is the annual My Hero Awards. This
years Annual My Hero Awards Luncheon will be held at the Standard Club in
Chicago, starting at 11:30 am, on July 28, 2005.

We need your help!
Please help us identify the lawyers and judges who mentor or volunteer as
leaders or board members for your tutor mentor agencies. We hope that you
take a moment and nominate members of the legal profession who have made a
difference to your agency.

Attached please find a flyer calling for nominations for the My Hero Awards
Luncheon to be held at the Standard Club on July 28, 2005. I hope that every
tutor/mentor program in Chicago will identify at least one lawyer, judge or
law firm who is making a contribution of time, talent or money to the
success of a tutor/mentor program.  I also hope that you will encourage
lawyers from your program to attend the lunch on July 28.  This can help
increase visibility for tutoring/mentoring in Chicago and draw more
volunteers to various programs as we are recruiting during August and
September.
