Morning Friends, Family, Supporters, Previous & New Potential Partners
In the past 4 years Our Heart and Focus has been to serve the community by distributing books to children in disadvataged areas. Across Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and St.Clair County. Many of you have organized events, volunteered or spoke words of encouragement to me throughout this journey which is "OUR" Journey because you have been there in one way or another. 
After much prayer and seeking direction, I'm working the MOTOR CITY KIDS BOOK DRIVE full time as the director. Up until this point this has been a fun voluteer project it's  very serious international issue (tune in for details) There are great needs as this company moves forward.  I will ask that each one of you pass this to at least10 advid readers or companies interested in sponsoring a new book drive; adopting a school for this school year.(It would be great to reach about 500 people with your help ,THANKS) I have many schools to be adopted but not enough sponsors.  A new radio show is launching AM1200 On SATURDAY NOV. 10th at 2-2:30pm I will have advertising available for my next show in December and in January we will have a weekly show,

This organization was started in July of 2003' as a summer project. Because of this project in the past 2 1/2 years, we have distributed over 10,000 "new" and "like new" books. These books have been distributed directly into the hands of children all over the Metro area.


Motor City Kids Book Drive is a non-profit organization (501c3) with goals to continue to impact children love for reading by building a personal home library. Some of the events that have been successful in the past year has been:
" Breakfast and books
" Distribution at St. Clair Couty Jail " (2) Family Fun Days
" Going to local schools for direct distribution of books"

"Building Treasures for a Lifetime"

Our newest program is the sponsorship of 100 children over 4 counties. The children will receive books every 6 weeks. A profile of each children with risk-barriers will assessed. Goal setting and academic accountability. Rewards will be given to each for the accomplishment of goals met. "Golden moments" the partnering of a grandparent and the sponsored child in order to read and spend time with the child.
