These are the next steps:
- Contact the principle at Richard Daley Elementary and request/schedule an appointment ASAP.
 - Pitch the idea, ask questions pertaining to what the school would like, transportation, and ESL teachers available.
 - Get contact information from ESL teachers
 - Figure out if there will be an extra need for financing/grants
 - If so, begin search for grants that the school can apply for
 - Research after school academic focused programs in Chicago
 - Contact the program directors and ask to meet with them
 - Ask for sit in on their program
 - Learn about their model, approach
 - Take notes and figure out what I can copy/emulate and tweak
 - Draft program model and proposals for curriculum
 - If necessary, develop curriculum from example programs (if financing for RAVE-O is unavailable)
 - Contact potential ALMa tutors whom I've already e-mailed and heard from.
 - Provide them updates and ask their opinion
 - Ask to meet them in person to discuss their participation in the club
 - Plan tutor recruitment
 
So I'm thinking of a new name for the club:
ALMas:  
Literally translates to:  "Souls"
Can be interpreted as:  "All Mas" which is a combination of English and Spanish for, All More
Acroynum for:  Ayudandoles Lograr Mas, Helping them achieve more.
