2010 Art & Film Festival Is A Success!!!


The Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection's staff would like to thank each and every person who contributed to the overall success of this year's Art and Film festival. All of the volunteers, donors, students, parents, guests who came out, and the Palette and Chisel all came together to provide a very nice 2010 Art and Film Festival. We definitely want to give a special thanks to Jacqueline Shay (Art Club Coordinator), the Chicago Cares volunteers in the Art Club, and to each and every current student and Cabrini Connections' Alumni who took the lead in providing this opportunity.

Throughout the night we had over a 100 supports who attended the event and shared in a great event and positive experience. Thank You! There are many people who wanted to attend but couldn't for various reasons, but YOU can still show your support by providing a donation of any amount and donations can be mailed in OR submitted online. We are now preparing for what I think is the best Cabrini Connection's event of the year, and that is our Annual Year End Dinner that will take place on June 10th at Cornerstone from 6-8pm. At this event there will be students, parents/guardians, volunteers, staff, board members, donors, and many CC, T/MC guests all coming to assist us in not only celebrating another successful year, but assisting us with building momentum for the 2010-2011 tutoring/mentoring year!

And YOU can help us work towards the Year End Dinner and the theme for next year which is "My Dreams are My Reality!" that was submitted by CC senior Dijana Smith, by showing your support. Become a supporter, become a volunteer, become a donor!

Cabrini Connections Art Festival, April 16 - Bring a Friend!



The Annual Cabrini Connections' Art and Film Festival is next week, Friday, April 16!!! Last year's event was a blast and I am confident that those who were able to come out last year would say the same thing. This year we are looking have a great time as well.

The 2010 Art and Film Festival will be held at the Palette and Chisel Art Academy (1012 N. Dearborn) on Friday, April 16th from 6:00-10:00pm. As always there will be a silent auction and raffle, along with beverages and light appetizers. The gallery will be open from April 15th-April 27th to display all of the great art work that the Cabrini Connections' students and guests have been working on throughout the year.



Read more about the Art Festival and see work created by our teens, on the Art Club blog. The art club meets every Monday evening in the Cabrini Connections' center, where the students learn a variety of artistic skills and techniques from club coordinator Jacqueline Shay and volunteers from Chicago Cares.



The Art and Video festival is a showcase for the work done by youth and volunteers. It is also a fund raiser to help pay the costs of space and insurance so these enrichment and learning activities can take place. Visit this page to make a donation, or this page. You can also print this form and mail a donation.

3rd Quarter and Attendance
Immediately following the CPS Spring Break, the Cabrini Connections’ program will be entering our 3rd Quarter for the 2009-2010 tutoring/mentoring year and there is a lot to be earned during this quarter. We will again be hosting out annual trip to Six Flags and the way students confirm their entry into this opportunity is by 3RD QUARTER ATTENDANCE!!! All students who have 75% or better (attending 6 out of 8) of attendance will be invited to A FREE DAY OF FUN AT SIX FLAGS!!!

Bank of America/Upperclassmen Workshop
ALL graduating seniors in the program must maintain outstanding attendance percentages during the 3rd quarter as attendance for seniors during the 3rd quarter can positively or negatively affect Graduation Dollars presented at the Annual Year End Dinner.

The College Zone will be hosting a workshop to discuss Senior Graduation Dollar options and that part of the workshop will be lead by Bank of America Representative and mother of Lawrence Brown (Cabrini Connections’ senior). And following that segment, several Cabrini Connections’ senior will share their “Road to College” experiences with the sophomores and juniors in the program…along with their parents and mentors. ALSO, Sue Gill (College Zone Coordinator) will be providing a FREE pizza dinner following the workshop!!!!

Date: Tuesday April 13th
