I don't have any additional information on the group that is or was forming there. I think the best way to reach Hubie Jones is through City Year -- go to <a href="http://www.cityyear.org" rel="nofollow">cityyear.org</a> for contact information. I'd also suggest that you take a look at <a href="http://www.hcz.org" rel="nofollow">hcz.org</a> for more information about the conference they're hosting in a week; someone there may know whether Boston is sending a delegation, and if so, how to get in touch with that group. Best of luck -- keep me posted. Paul Harvey and Maren and Dr. Adamczeski:

How can we learn more about establishing and implementing such a program? Thank you. Dr. Adamczeski P.S. Your book, "Whatever it Takes" is not only informative but also inspirational.
