Greetings -
The ADMIT Program has been branching out and making progress! For example, throughout the month of February we were invited as a partner of Atlanta's APEX Museum of Black History to occupy an office facility in the historic Atlanta Underground shopping and entertainment center, where we operated a youth training facility and recording studio, serving numerous youth with their positive recording projects. At the same time we provided weekly music training and recording services to 13 students from Stone Mountain's Solid Foundation Christian Academy. This effort resulted in a collaborative cross generational project with original Tuskegee Airman Val Archer. Their class theme song entitled "You Gotta Fly" uses the inspiring history of the actual World War II Red Tail airmen as motivation to encourage young people to overcome obstacles to reach their goals in life. Mr. Archer provided some motivational messages for the song and a music video was shot in the final class. These will be posted in the near future to show the great work of our young people through The ADMIT Program. A sample of the chorus: "You gotta fly beneath your wings, you gotta try to reach your dreams. Fly high, fly high, fly high! To reach the sky, touch the sky, and own the sky!" Wait until you hear the kids' words of wisdom on their verses!

Other important projects in the works is the likely expansion of this program to multiple locations similar to the Miami operations where we were located in Miami Gardens, Liberty City and West Perrine. A final project we are working diligently to coordinate is the production of a nonviolence CD entitled Partners 4 Peace with Metro Atlanta area schools, programs and organizations. This CD is scheduled to be released with the end of the school year in June, and will feature free distribution to thousands of youth, and a CD release extravaganza that proved to be memorable occasions with the Miami program, complete with limo rides, red carpet entry, celebrity participation on the CDs and youth performances of their songs. Please continue to pray for us and support our cause in any way possible to let this important and heartfelt CD show Atlanta that the ADMIT Program can help kids to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of others. Please let us know also if you know of any school or organization with groups of 10 to 12 young people who would like to participate in this project at no cost. As always with the ADMIT Program, no recording or performance experience is needed - only the willingness to work as a team and make a difference with their positive messages. Ask the group's teacher or leader to contact Thomas Demerritte at 786-287-1184 for more details about this once in a lifetime opportunity to spend 3 to 4 hours in a real recording studio and give back to their community through their voices and talents. Also, please advise me of any individuals or agencies interested in partnering with this program or assisting in its operation from a financial, administrative or operational standpoint. Until next time, lets keep it rolling up here in the ATL!

Sincerely,

Thomas W. Demerritte, MPA, President/Producer
