Blog Torch, continued

Hi blog readers,

I'm Jon. Like Julia said, her time as the media and marketing manager for DTE has come to an end. Very sad. In her final days, though, she was able to give me some great training (or bad training! we'll find out!) and I'm really excited to work with Martha, Katya, and everyone else in the extended DTE family.

I'd love to hear from you guys- questions, suggestions, comments- anything is welcome. Check out what I've been doing. We're able to relax a little right now, but we have some exciting events coming up. For details/just to say hi, send me an email- jon@dtetc.org.

RED HOOK FEST!

So, who had fun?

Thank you to the weather, thank you to all of our community partners and funders, and especially...THANK YOU for coming!

Don't forget about all of our volunteers - especially those from South Brooklyn Community High School and Brooklyn International High School!

Check out our first batch of pics!

Trip to the New Vic

Julia, Katya, and the awesome students from DTE and Good Shepherd Services Creative After-School Adventures Program at P.S. 27 journeyed to midtown for the New Vic's Past-Half Remembered.
We laughed, we cried, we tried to avoid getting spit on by the actors.A great time was had by all! And the coolest part - CASA students and teachers asked many thought-provoking questions at the talkback!
