  Kenny, are you doing any blogging or other type of social networking to educate people about mentoring and get more donors involved in supporting it? If you are I'd like to add you to my blog list and see if we can't do some blog exchanges to help build traffic to our programs. Dan

  All mentors (including BBBS) are invited to our community events with their mentees - our next one may be a back-to-school concert in August. We'll have multimedia celebration Aug. 19th at Beautiful Savior Lutheran church. Call us! 440-1111, ext. 16.

  We are having an orientation session for potential new mentors. I'd like to invite you to apply to be a mentor to a child in the 78744 area of Austin. It is an 8-hour per month / 9-12 months commitment.

  Hi Kenny,
  That's funny. It's always interesting to see where connections go, but now in this hyper connected age you are bound to run in to everyone again! I would love to get together, hear more about your business, tell you more about mine and see if we have any potential partnership opportunities. SXSW ends March 17, so anytime about a week after that? I am available for meetings Tues.-Thu. Where in Austin are you based? I'm in NE. Let me know when and where you would like to meet. I look forward to finally meeting you!
  Cheers,
  Shannon

  Hi Kenny. I found you as a group member on the tutor mentor connection and as a friend of Dan Bassill who I know through David DuBois' list serv. I believe I phone interviewed with you about 4 years ago when I was moving to Austin and leaving The Maryland Mentoring Partnership but you did not have any appropriate fundraising roles at that time. I too am now a nonprofit consultant, focussing on social media and fundraising. My website is currently being completely re-built as I prepare for the SXSW interactive conference. I would love to re-connect and see if we have any opportunities to work together. Nice to see you on here!
  Sincerely,
  Shannon K. Aronin

  Hi Kenny, thanks for joining us here. There is a lot of great work being done at the University of Texas that we'd like to connect with. Hopefully as you and others participate and see how the ideas being created can be enhanced by your involvement and that of people you know, you will begin to actively recruit more to join us.
  
  As we develop these ideas, they can be used by anyone to try to help kids in their own community, or in individual programs. I'll look forward to your involvement.
