Over the last two weeks Fab-5 has embarked on its newest project with The LION!
The L.I.O.N. — League of Intelligent Open News, is a collective of young people from around the greater Tacoma area reporting on arts related issues in our community.
Select articles from The LION will be published in the Weekly Volcano throughout the month of August, so be sure to grab a copy from your local newsstand or check the website to see the latest articles!
The first two that went out were stories on 2 local businesses, Metronome Coffee & Koncrete Studios:

Fab-5′s Eddie Sumlin, Kenji Stoll & Chris Jordan got some really nice press courtesy of our good friend/musician/Weekly Volcano writer, Zach Powers. The article is on the recently finished mural on the west side of the Rialto Theatre – Apollo The Sunflower God.

Attached is the HERO Program app, have you found out when you’re starting to deliver your workshops? I’d love to start getting in the mix with you and getting some sign-ups for HERO @ Cascade. I’m rounding out my recruitment in both my high schools and getting into a steady meeting schedule with my HERO students at Evergreen (every other Tuesday 2:15p-3:15p). I’ve also started to make some in-roads @ Chinook MS too.
As for the graduation specialist, how can I get in-touch with her? Did you want to setup a meeting between her, you and I for this Thursday? I’m free all-day. Here’s a link to the HERO Program overview: http://www.collegesuccessfoundation.org/Page.aspx?pid=451
How are things at your school? Keeping your head above water?
