Tutors Needed
Volunteers are needed to join former
Detroit Public School students and friends
who are working to make a difference
by going back to MacDowell Elementary
School at 4201 W. Outer Drive in Detroit to
support student learning.
Volunteers do not need a background in
education, only the willingness to work for
at least one hour a week with an individual
or small group of children. Many other
opportunities do not require weekly atten-
dance, including working in the library,
reading at a story hour or assisting in
enrichment programs.
For information on the Friends of
MacDowell, also associated with the Detroit
Jewish Coalition for Literacy, contact Sherry
Erman Stewart at (248) 642-5257 or by e-
mail at Hste157045@aol.com .

global social issues through creative projects.
Jamie recruited Prinstein, an autism cru-
sader, to launch a limited-edition vintage
apparel line to bring awareness to the cause.
The Detroit natives, now based out of
Manhattan, will sell a capsule preview col-
lection of STIMUA tee's at both events.
The campaign for autism elevates the
notion of a statement tee with a high-qual-
ity line of basics. The bold graphic logo
reworks the letters of "autism" and prints
on super-fine cotton blends. STIMUA ref-
erences the sensory manner of learning
patients with autism use.
While the appeal and market is global,
the tag team has a focused vision to launch
specialized products and events benefiting
local communities and programs.
The full STIMUA line can be purchased
later this month on Jamierubinstudios.
