Detroit Mayor, Mike Duggan excited about the support for this
year’s Angels’s Night
Flanked by a coalition of city,
community and business leaders, Mayor Mike Duggan today
kicked off this year’s Angels’
Night volunteer recruitment
campaign at the City’s Public
Safety Center in southwest Detroit.
The Mayor, who plans to personally patrol all three nights,
urged city residents and Detroit
boosters to join him in keeping
the city safe and quiet during
the three-day Angels’ Night period, which runs from Wednesday, October 29, through
Friday, October 31.
“Detroit has a great deal of
positive momentum right now
and we want to keep it going,”
Mayor Duggan said, referring
to the efforts to relight neigh-
borhoods, increased blight removal efforts and 50 new
buses set to arrive next year.
“Every City department is focused completely on making
sure we have a successful Angels’ Night campaign and we
are calling on every Detroiter to
become a part of it.”
How people can help
This year’s Angels’ Night campaign includes several ways in
which volunteers can get involved. Primary elements of
the Angels’ Night program are:

October 30th.
LANSING – Gov. Rick Snyder
today announced that Michigan’s plan to combat blight in
12 cities – ranging from Southeast Michigan to the Upper
Peninsula – with $75 million in
federal funding has been approved by the U.S. Department
of Treasury.
The plan, created by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and
approved by its board, will help
Detroit, Ecorse, Highland Park,
River Rouge, Inkster and Hamtramck in Wayne County, as
well as Adrian, Ironwood, Jackson, Lansing, Muskegon
Heights and Port Huron.
This latest achievement follows the 2013 kickoff of the
largest residential blight removal effort in state history,
when Snyder announced the
first U.S. Treasury-approved
program in the nation. It allowed MSHDA to use $100 million of its Hardest Hit Fund
allocation for blight elimination
in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw,
Grand Rapids and Pontiac.
“Michigan blight elimination
strategy has become a national model,” Snyder said.
“For too long, blight has driven
down property values and stifled growth in some of our
communities. This additional
funding will expand the positive
efforts already taking root in
cities across our state, and we
appreciate the support of our
"This federal, state and local
partnership demonstrates a
commitment to revitalizing our
cities and to addressing the
damaging effects caused by
vacant and blighted properties,” said U.S. Treasury
Deputy Secretary Sarah Bloom
Raskin. “Removing blighted
properties is an important step
in stabilizing neighborhoods,
and we look forward to continuing our efforts to assist hardest hit communities around the
nation.”
The eligible cities for the Hardest Hit Funds were selected by
MSHDA based on an evaluation system that included residential housing vacancy rates.
MSHDA is scheduling meetings with the selected cities
this month to discuss the
process for submitting strategic
blight remediation plans, designating at-risk areas within city
limits, estimating project costs
and establishing a timeline for
the work to proceed, among
other considerations.
“Abandoned and blighted
homes create significant safety
concerns for citizens and businesses, depress home values
and strain community resources,” MSHDA Acting-Executive
Director
Wayne
Workman said. “Expanding
this program will further stem
the tide of foreclosures, stabilize property values and help
revitalize these cities block by
block.”
Michigan’s new $75 million
anti-blight effort comes from
the $498 million the state was
allocated in 2010 as part of the
Hardest Hit Fund Program, designed to help homeowners in
states hardest hit by the housing crisis.

Rock the vote taps ‘Turn Down
for What’ ahead of the Midterms
New ads,
same message
By Jim Abeare
I can not wait until November
fifth, then all of these political
ads will be done with.
I bet you can't wait either.
These ads are bordering on
the absurb.
WEEK OF OCTOBER 16 - OCTOBER 22, 2014
Free deer hunting seminars at
Bass Pro Shops stores across
the U.S. and Canada
Here is a good example, the
current one against Mark
Schauer, candidate for governor. the ad says that he
voted with Democrats 95% of
the time. How do you expect a
known Democrat to vote?
Lil Jon for the Rock the Vote campaign
*Get used to hearing
“Turn Down for What”
even more than you already do.
The DJ Snake and Lil Jon
song has been commissioned by Rock the Vote
to soundtrack its voter
registration/engagement
PSA campaign for the
2014 midterm elections
(Nov. 4), reports Billboard.
Premiering Oct. 6, the
PSA will star Lil Jon and
include
cameos
by
celebrities from music,
TV, film, comedy and
other entertainment sectors motivating young
people to “turn out for
what … Rock the Vote.”
The primarily digital campaign will appear on various
social
media
platforms and Rock the
Vote’s website (rockthevote.com). For the first
time, an app will allow
users to register to vote
on their phones in four
minutes.
Most of the rest of the current
ads keep using the same talking points over and over.
It doesn't matter which side
they are on.
Though new political ads do
keep showing up. I just saw
one for Richard Bernstein.
I would like to see ads that
tells us how good they will be,
not how bad the others would
be for us.
No more fear mongering.
No more quotes like "Teri
Lynn Land she's not for us.".
This is probably why voting is
down. People are tired of all
the mud-slinging.
Just give us your facts.
“It’s fun and pretty hip,”
says Lil Jon of the PSA. “It
will do what it’s supposed
to do.”

Don't Faint
St. James United
Methodist Church
By: Janine Folks - Telegram Religion Columnist
Back in high school, I played
basketball on the junior varsity
team. I wasn't very good, but
they let me be on the JV team.
I got to travel with the team,
build relationships with my
teammates and have fun. I
tried to keep up and it was a
challenge, but I didn't give up.
Running was hard for me and I
wanted to be like those who it
seemed to come easy to.
One summer I attended a girls
basketball camp. I pushed my
body hoping to increase my
endurance. One day after
camp, I went shopping with my
mother. I can't remember if I
had eaten or not. I remember
feeling tired and funny while
standing in line leaning on the
cart. The next thing I remember is lying on the floor looking
up at people frantically trying to
help me and see if I was okay.
I had fainted. This wasn't the
only time. There were some
subsequent faints and I
learned to be careful. My oldest daughter must have inherited this problem because as a
child, she too had a few fainting spells. I was never diagnosed, but she was diagnosed
with hypo-glycemia. She had
to learn to keep her blood
sugar up.
After the faint, we pretty much
returned to normal, but it was a
frightening experience for onlookers. Have you ever
fainted? Just lost consciousness for a bit and passed out
with no recollection of how you
fell to the ground?
In a nutshell, fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness
or awareness. It's not death.
You heart still beats and blood
still flows, but all thought
processes momentarily cease.
For that moment, you are motionless. You are not in control.
You cannot make any moves
and you appear to be dead
even though you are not and
suddenly you wake back up.
Physiologically, I cannot explain what causes fainting. A
medical professional could tell
you better than I could. I imagine that somewhere, something lacks, something misfires
and you faint. The frightening
thing is, sometimes it can
sneak up on you. Other times
WEEK OF OCTOBER 16 - OCTOBER 23, 2014
however, you get signs that
something is not right and you
can avoid fainting. Sometimes
it takes fainting to figure out the
preceding feelings that indicate
that a faint is coming on.
We understand physical fainting. What about spirtual fainting spells? Some of us faint in
our spirit. We lose awareness
of who and Whose we are during difficult times. We forget the
power and authority we have
access to. We forget our privileges as a child of God. We
forget peace. We forget
strength and courage. Sometimes we can spiritually black
out for a minute. Thank God
who can revive us.
Remember the children of Israel, when they wandered in
the wilderness? They were
hungry and thirsty, their soul
fainted in them (Psa 107.5).
They were in trouble, serious
trouble. They thought they
could die. Have you ever been
there? What did they do then?
They cried to the Lord and He
delivered them (v. 6).
If you faint, pray. Jonah did.
"When my soul fainted within
me I remembered the Lord:
and my prayer came in unto
thee, into thine holy temple"
(Jonah 2.7). To prevent fainting, think on the goodness of
the Lord like David did, "I had
fainted, unless I had believed
to see the goodness of the
Lord in the land of the living
(Psa. 27.13). Keep believing,
knowing.
Don't forget God. Don't pass
out in your spirit. Hold on to
your God-consciousness no
matter what the trouble is. Stay
faithful to the task. "And let us
not be weary in well doing: for
in due season we shall reap, if
we faint not." [Gal. 6.9].
Don't faint!

with the truth. Love
bears all things, believes

Report any suspicious activity they observe to the Detroit Police Department by
calling 9-1-1.

How to get involved
Volunteers are needed to patrol each night during the threeday Halloween period. This
Saturday, Mayor Duggan and
each of his appointees will fan
out across the city, knocking on
doors to recruit volunteers.
“Citizen volunteers are the
backbone of our Angels’ Night
campaign each year and we
want to let them know personally how valuable and needed
they are,” the Mayor said.
To help young people stay
safe, the Detroit Recreation
and Police departments are
holding a number of Halloween
parties and activities for children and teens. Information
will be on the City’s Web site at
www.angelsnight.org<http://w
ww.angelsnight.org/> or at a
local recreation center or police precinct.

pending City Council approval.
Sponsors
Mayor Duggan also thanked
this year’s sponsors, who already have provided more than
$25,000 in donations and inkind contributions. This year’s
lead sponsor is Comerica
Bank, which has supported the
Angels’ Night campaign with
more than $100,000 in donations since the program began
more than 20 years ago. Participating White Castle locations
will
provide
two
hamburgers and a beverage to
volunteers who show their Angels' Night shirt or baseball cap
from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. on any of

A good friend of mine died the
other day. We grew up in the
same neighborhood and went
to school together. I’m sure he
had many other friends and acquaintances. And had a wonderful family that loved him.
Everybody that lived in our
neighborhood was close and
knew each family.
I admired him as a friend because we shared in the same
story of survival in a world full
of struggles that we both had
overcame. He was saved and
in church. He had given his life
to Christ.
Back in the day everybody got
along together and families
stuck together. Our parents
communicated together and
the children gave respect to
the parents. There were a few
bad seeds in the neighborhood
and everybody knew who they
were. Some of them committed crimes and are still serving
time. Some died and some
have grown out of their mischievous ways and now have
a family of their own. In those
days the church was very instrumental in helping support
the family. Almost everybody
went to church. Back in the day
we didn’t have all this killing,
and dieing. We didn’t hear
about people getting shot
standing on the street! Being
shot up in a drive by! Somebody being murdered or
robbed over senseless things!
Most people who died were
elderly or people with longterm sickness. But today it’s a
whole different time. Our
young black men, women and
children are dieing every day.
And that does’t make any
sense at all! Innocent people
are being killed every day intentionally or by stray bullets
without a target.
end his life. And for what reason I do not know. I knew him
as a good man who had the
will to do what was right.
Everybody knew him and respect him. He was a friend. I
dare not judge what he did in
his life, its not for me to judge.
If we judged people you will
find that everybody has some
skeletons in there closet. We
all have sinned and fallen short
of the glory of God.
My friend died an unexpected
death. Somebody decided to
Rev. Julius R. Collins
Christian Outreach Ministries
Why do the good die too soon?
I came to the conclusion that
only God knows. God has put
us all on the earth for his purpose. He has given us our own
free will to make our own
choices. Its up to us to fulfill the
purpose God has called us to.
God has appointed everyone
of us a time to live and a time
to die. And after death judgment. How you live your life on
earth will determine where you
will spend eternity. My friend I
will miss. I believe it was his
time to go. There are many
good people that are gone too
soon!
Pray for the families of those who have lost

pace of classroom learning
can’t be tailored to every student’s individual needs -- particularly these days, as class

for special enrichment programs becomes limited. In fact,
at least 35 states provided less

did before the recession.

regular homework to keep up
or get ahead in school. No
matter what your child’s education goals are, there are great
ways you can help make this
school year the best one yet:
• Math practice: Square roots,
polynomials, quadrilaterals.
Learning these terms and concepts can get dicey quickly.
Keeping up at home is important, and sometimes requires
more than just doing the day’s

Sweetest Day Gifts For Him
Sweetest Day offers the
chance to provide your
sweetie with a little
something special just
for him, showing him that
you care enough to give
him something he will
enjoy or will find useful. A
man not into sports may
not appreciate a football
jersey, for instance, so be
sure to keep his personal
interests in mind when
planning the perfect gift.
Beverage Bliss
If your sweetie is a sports fan, purchase a couple of
tickets to his favorite sporting event. Or tickets to an
upcoming concert by one of his favorite bands is another way to surprise him with something he may not
have bought on his own. If the event is out of town,
go big: throw in a night at a hotel and plane tickets
and make it a fun adventure.

Though Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush are not 100 percent
and did not play this past Sunday, the Detroit Lions offense is
doing something they have not done in a long time, play a balanced football game. Yes the offense score enough point using
both the run and the pass.
Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford with help from Joique Bell,
Theo Riddick running the ball and receivers Eric Ebron, and
Golden Tate catching the ball gave the energy needed to put
points on the board.
Matt Prater, the third kicker the Lions have had in six weeks
went 1 of 3 on his field goals at gusty TCF Bank Stadium this
past Sunday leading to ugly stats and more issues with the
kicker. Nevertheless, Coach Caldwell said. "Wind like we had
Sunday had an issue," "He kicked a 52-yarder, which was great,
and we have all the confidence in the world in him. The guy's
got a great track record and we feel good about him."
However there is a bright side, the Lions defense held the Minnesota Vikings to just three points in the team’s 17-3 win. It
marks the lowest tally allowed on the road by the Lions since
they forced a shutout at Tampa Bay, 27-0, September 29, 1996.
Allowing just three points to Minnesota marks the fourth-straight
game the number one defense in the NFL as the Detroit Lions
have allowed no more than 17 points in a game. The Lions defense allowed 212 total yards in the team’s 17-3 win at Minnesota. The 212 yards are the second-lowest total allowed by
the Lions in a game this season (197 vs. NYG, 9/8/2014).
Defensive tackle Nick Fairley stopping the run, Defensive
tackle Ndamukong Suh registered 2.0 sacks, Defensive end
Ezekiel Ansah led the Lions with a career-high 2.5 sacks and
DE George Johnson contributed 1.5 of the team’s eight total
sacks in the Lions’ 17-3 win at Minnesota. Linebacker Tahir
Whitehead, settling into his starting middle linebacker role in
place of the injured Stephen Tulloch, led the Lions with seven
tackles. By holding the Vikings to three points in the 17-3 win
at Minnesota, Detroit has now allowed just 82 points through
the first six games of the season.
The Detroit Lions’ next opponent, the New Orleans Saints will
visit Ford Field this upcoming Sunday.

At 0639hrs, officers were
dispatched to the 200 Block of
Fairmont Street, where a retired police officer was holding
a B&E suspect. Officers arrived and observed the 60 year
old retired officer and homeowner, holding a 23 year old
male down on the ground. The
male was placed in handcuffs
and was escorted to the patrol
vehicle while officers investigate. The homeowner
states he was awakened by his
46 year old girlfriend yelling for
help and at the male. She
states she was on the back
porch and heard a noise coming from the enclosed porch of
her daughter’s home next
door. Then she observed the
male attempting to gain entry
into the rear door of her home
and the male fled. The retired
officer ran after the male and
caught him a couple of houses
away. The male told officers he
was on the back porch hiding
from someone that was chasing him and denied that he was
trying to break in. Officers
checked the back porch and
observed smeared shoe prints
on the door and no damage.
He was placed under arrest for
Breaking & Entering, transported to the police station
where he was booked, allowed
to make a phone call, and then
housed. “Bad Boy, Bad Boy

Fraudulent building contractors: When hiring a contractor:
WARREN, – State and federal
recovery officials urge Michigan residents to watch for and
report any suspicious activity
or potential fraud from scam
artists, identity thieves and
other criminals who may try to
prey on vulnerable survivors
because of the August storms
and flooding.
Common post-disaster fraud
practices include:
Phony housing inspectors:
Owners/applicants may be especially vulnerable to phony
housing inspectors claiming to
represent FEMA or the U.S.
Small Business Administration.
An applicant should ALWAYS:
Ask to see the inspector’s
identification badge. All federal
employees and contractors
carry official, laminated photo
identification.
Inspectors also have each applicant’s nine-digit registration
Use licensed local contractors
backed by reliable references.
Demand that contractors carry
general liability insurance and
worker’s compensation.
Bogus pleas for post-disaster
donations:
Unscrupulous solicitors may
play on the sympathy for disaster survivors. Disaster aid solicitations may arrive by phone,
email, letter or face-to-face visits. Verify legitimate solicitation:
Ask for the charity’s exact
name, street address, phone
number, and Web address,
then phone the charity directly
and confirm that the person
asking for funds is an employee or volunteer.
Don’t pay with cash.
Request a receipt with the
charity’s name, street address,
phone number and Web address (if applicable).
Fake offers of state or federal
aid:
Beware if anyone claiming to
be from FEMA or the state visits, calls or emails asking for an
applicant’s Social Security
number, bank account number
or other sensitive information.
Some scam artists who promise a disaster grant and ask for
large cash deposits or advance
payments in full.

workers do not solicit or accept
money. FEMA and SBA staff
never charge applicants for
disaster assistance, inspections or help in filling out applications. If in doubt, do not give
out information, and report

Provide your Social Security

FEMA assistance, either by

CITY OF INKSTER
TRANSITION TO MONTHLY WATER &
SEWER BILLING
In response to the request of Inkster customers, the City of Inkster will begin billing
monthly for water and sewer usage effective January 1, 2015. Customers will no
longer be billed on a quarterly basis. This change will assist customers in managing
their water and sewer bills more efficiently and assist our customers in tracking water
usage and detecting leaks earlier which could result in saving money.
Why is the City switching to monthly billing?
Monthly billing makes it easier for customers, especially those on a fixed income, to
manage their monthly household finances and budget more efficiently. It also provides
customers with more frequent and timely information about their water usage. This
allows customers to track their usage, reduce consumption and detect leaks in their
household plumbing sooner. Detecting leaks and reducing consumption saves water
and money.
What are the benefits of monthly billing?
It allows customers to budget more efficiently.
It is easier for customers, especially those on a fixed income, to manage their monthly
household finances.
It provides customers with more frequent and timely information about their water
usage.
It allows customers to adjust month-to-month consumption, especially during summer
months, which can save money.
It allows customers to detect leaks more timely, thus allowing for prompt repairs and
reducing the potential of a high water bill as a result of the leak. (Customers are responsible for repairing household leaks).
How often will my meter be read?
Meters will be read on a monthly basis and will be billed monthly based on consumption.
Will my water bill look different?
No changes will be made to the water bill. The bills will contain water and sewer
charges for one month of usage verses quarterly usage.
During the transition, will I be billed more than once for the same water and/or
sewage consumption?
Customers will not be billed more than once for water or sewer services. Each bill
will cover a different usage period.
Where or how can I pay my monthly bill?
Payments may be made as follows:
By Mail:
In order to expedite bill payments and to avoid past due notices and accrual of penalties, please allow five (5) days for your payment to be received timely. Bills should be
mailed to the following address:
• Read the classics: Kids who read for pleasure can improve their
grades. Not only will the exposure to literary giants like John Steinbeck, Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe build vocabulary
and improve reading comprehension, there is much to be learned
about history and culture from picking up a great book, such as
“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
Be sure to use tools that can help clarify some of the denser material. Online learning guides can be a great place to get synopses
and analysis.
• Use flashcards: It may sound quaint, but there is really no substitute for quizzing yourself with a flash card. Even the act of creating
the flashcard can help reinforce concepts and facts.
• Extra Help: A little extra academic help after school can sometimes mean the difference between struggle and success. But between school and soccer practice, ballet lessons and getting
dinner on the table, adding a tutor or after school class to the list
might be a logistical impossibility.
Consider online courses that can be completed from the comfort
of home and are common core aligned. For example, Shmoop’s
offerings are diverse, ranging from 7th grade math to second semester 12th grade British Literature. For those students taking Advanced Placement courses this fall, check out their AP test prep
courses. These courses help students nail the important, forcredit, year-end exam. More information can be found at
www.Shmoop.com.
With a bit of extra effort and the use of savvy learning tools, kids
can gain a competitive edge this school year.

Performances available for elementary students
WEEK OF OCTOBER 16 - OCTOBER 22, 2014

Want Back In
business?
I’m so sorry Sweetheart, I can
totally identify with what you’re
feeling. As I’ve mentioned before, I too occupy a room at the
“Grief Hotel for the Heartbroken” with no intention of ever
checking out. But as I’m writing
this, I need to check myself. Is
this the best advice we could
share with each other? Honestly, no, you and I can do better.
Dear Alma,
Beginning November 1, 2014,
Henry Ford College’s Virtual
Theatricality Lab will immerse
you and your family in a 3D environment, complete with a
twenty foot tall Trex with the
live children’s stage play, “Dinosaurus!” The show is recommended for grades 1-5.
“Dinosaurus!” is the story of
two oil explorers who disc
over a lost colony of dinosaurs
deep beneath the earth’s surface. One of the explorers
attempts to exploit the dinosaurs,
while the other wants to leave
their underground hideout unto
uched by civilization.
HFC’s Virtual Theatricality Lab
uses advanced cinema tec
hnology such as virtual reality,
performance capture, and animation to enhance live stage p
lays. The VTL’s 2003 production of Shakespeare’s “The
Tempest” was a regional winner in the Kennedy Center
American College Theatre
Festival in 2003. The VTL
’s production of Caryl
Churchill’s “The Skryker” was a
finalist for the Nation al Bellwether Award, an award that
annually recognizes outstanding and innovative programs
and practices at olleges.
“Dinosaurus! “ will be presented in an immersive environmen t. The audience will be
limited to 80 persons per show.
The audience will be seat
ed onstage and will be surrounded by a physical set built
and painted to match the
virtual set projected in 3D
stereo on a 20’x 36’ 3D projection screen. 3D cinema glas
ses will be worn. The dinosaurs will appear to be 20
feet tall and 6 feet from the
closest spectator. To further
the immersive environment,
several “4D” effects will be
created. “4D” refers to a real,
physical effect that complements an animated or virtual
effect.

T-REX

WORK!
When I lost my boyfriend of six
years to cancer last year, I
thought: I’m done. No dating.
No more men. I was just going
to throw myself into my work
and my only child. After that, I
started hanging out with someone I’ve been friends with for
more than 20 years. We had
talked pretty much all year
while my boyfriend battled his
illness and my friend was ultrasupportive during the darkest
of days. Sometimes he would
just listen and other times he
would make me laugh or otherwise motivate me to get out of
my funk. He’s funny, smart and
very blunt most days. He and I
dated WAY back in the day in
our 20s and he was too serious
for me and I had to end it. It
hurt to leave him, but I knew I
wasn’t ready for a commitment
yet. Now present day, he has
had to witness my sensitivity
and sometimes fears about
death, dying and cancer. I
seem to see it everywhere
after losing not only my
boyfriend, but my best friend —
both at 46 last year. Yes, he
has been patient. But now he
says he’s had enough of me
“playing the dead boyfriend
card.” He says I have to
toughen up and stop being so
sensitive or else we won’t have
a relationship. What do I do?
Seek more therapy to vent to a
professional with my grief and
not talk to him about my feelings? Or leave him alone and
just grieve and go about my
That’s what my 92-year-old
Aunt Bernice would say. She
calls me regularly to remind me
that my mother, father and sister would insist that I continue
to live my best life yet. When I
hear her words, I know she’s
right. The hard part is translating it to my heart.
So, please, honey, for the sake
of your loved ones, move towards soothing your soul. I
don’t think you need to choose
between the two options you
mentioned. Continue to have a
relationship with your longtime
friend, you two have history.
Offer him who you are, that’s
all you can do. Friends sometimes get frustrated when they
want us to be better, and that
seems to be what he’s asking
for. Cut him some slack. If he
has had enough, he will move
on or continue to accept you,
true blue. And yes again, continue to seek the therapy you
need for as long as it’s necessary. There are no deadlines
or expiration dates when it
comes to living through the
death of a loved one.

Youth in the Detroit area are

half are licensed within one
year of reaching Michigan’s
minimum age for licensure,
and a little more than half get a
license before turning 18 years
of age. Many youth are opting
In light of these alarming statistics, Johnson has partnered
with Big Brothers Big Sisters
agencies throughout Michigan,
All Star Driver Education and
the T. Wall Foundation to afford
Graduated Driver Licensing
courses for at-risk youth. The
goal of the partnership is to reduce the crash risk associated
with young drivers by exposing
them to courses that require a
minimum number of preparation hours. These extensive
courses have shown to significantly reduce traffic fatalities
for young drivers. As part of
this exciting partnership, 20
BBBSMD "Littles" will be
awarded course scholarships
courtesy of the T. Wall Foundation.
This mission has been the cornerstone of the organization’s
100-year history. And for forty
years of service locally in the
metropolitan Detroit community, Big Brothers Big Sisters
maintains a stellar reputation
of recruiting exemplary citizens
to share positive experiences
with Metropolitan Detroit youth.
