I visited the space at the Metcalfe Center in Chicago and each room has full technology. We only need to bring computers. Should be a good place for the conference.

<p>John Hostiny of the Corporation for National Service has helped us secure the Metcalfe Building at 77 W. Jackson Boulevard in Chicago for a November 4, 2011 one-day conference. We have one main room and four smaller breakout rooms. We will have room for registration and handouts but not for display tables.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please begin to offer your ideas for speakers and workshops. I am hoping to have a major involvement from MENTOR, the National Mentoring Partnership.</p>

I'm now working on a November 2011 conference. Thank you to everyone who helped get the May Conference together at Victory Apostolic Church in Matteson, Il. I'm thinking of doing a one-day conference, possibly on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. May have help from MENTOR, the National Mentoring Partnership. Need to locate low-cost space in area in the Chicago downtown area or nearby. Can pay small fee if needed. May need nonprofit partner to help since Tutor/Mentor Connection does not have a…
I'm now working on a November 2011 conference. Thank you to everyone who helped get the May Conference together at Victory Apostolic Church in Matteson, Il. I'm thinking of doing a one-day conference, possibly on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. May have help from MENTOR, the National Mentoring Partnership. Need to locate low-cost space in area in the Chicago downtown area or nearby. Can pay small fee if needed. May need nonprofit partner to help since Tutor/Mentor Connection does not have a non-profit structure right now due to <a href="http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-tutormentor-connection.html" target="_blank">change with Cabrini Connections</a>.

I just invited people to this group who expressed any sort of interest in being involved with the May 2011 conference planning process.<br />
<br />
Welcome to those who join, and please contribute your ideas as we look toward our options in May!<br />

April is too early. The ideal is the 2nd or 3rd week in May while volunteers are still in tutor/mentor programs.<br />
<br />
The cost we need to cover includes cost of staff who work from Dec to May to organize the conferences and maintain the network of data and contact information. Even when we have donated space we're not covering that expense.

If we can get the space donated, that's a start. I know at least one CPS school who may be able to host us; it just has to be on a day of nonattendance. The only such day in May is Memorial Day (May 30th). In April, spring break is the week of April 18th, so any day(s) of that week should work also. Any day after June 17th (the last day of school) is also a possibility.<br />
<br />
Memorial Day is a big travel weekend, so I'm guessing that wouldn't be ideal. How about that week in April?
