Update: September 1, 2008

Jim,

I have been volunteering over the summer at ClubTech. Mike has gotten an associate who is really getting the place packed with people. We have the computer lab at capacity with more people wanting to learn basic computer skills. We need to build a second and maybe a third lab in order to accommodate the demand. The rest of the previously donated machines are either in use to manage the network or are defective. Would it be possible to get the contact information from John Iras of the person at Beaumont who had previously donated those computers?

I hope all is well! -Dan

Daniel:

Thanks for the Birthday e-mail. Best present I could have EVER received! John will be returning late this evening (from hosting his annual family Holiday bash). We will be getting together tomorrow for a "catch-up meeting" and I will make sure this gets on our agenda.

How many computers do you need? And are desktops your preference and/or are laptops of any value to the mix?

Of course we have other resources available if need be.

Tell Mike we are working with the Detroit ONE-D Drop-Out Prevention project in combination with our NSF ITEST Grant (we briefly discussed last fall) which began unfolding in January 2008.

CONGRATULATIONS on the continuing SUCCESS at Club Technology, Friends of Detroit and Tri-County!

Please convey our regards to Mike and Mrs. Wimberly. THEY and YOU are indeed TREASURES!

Best,

Jim
