It was a beautiful, crisp morning as Quicken Loans’ team members partnered with employees at Compuware to lend a hand with Blight Busters in Detroit on October 4.  The staff was very enthusiastic about the work that was taking place in the area and was glad to have us join them for a day. 

We were separated into two groups, one was responsible for the demolition of an abandoned home and the group that I joined was responsible for cleaning out a shoe store basement and painting a mural on one of the walls of the area called Artist’s Village.

Fall is definitely here, the days have gotten shorter and –the children are back in school. Quicken Loans and Rock Financial has been a part of Cornerstone School’s Partner Mornings (student mentoring program) for about 2 years. We usually have about 6 team members that participate in the mentoring program on a quarterly basis. The children are great and always seem to teach us something new.

To kick off fall I had two Quicken Loans members that were new to program join me for Partner Morning.  Maggie was with the first grade class and worked with three wonderful students and Victoria was making difference with the 7th graders, while I was lucky enough to be with a young man that I mentored in first grade and he and his friends allowed me to follow them to second grade.  What a blast!!!
