Here is what I know now: -The board meeting is on May 20th . -They want you to present at 9:00 for about 15 minutes . -1 think you should talk about the history and current scope of s-1at L'Anse. There probably is a nice segue into Merit and how you've been working with others to develop similar plans (wh ich says a lot about your comm itment and leadership in the field and also says something about what can/should happen with a L&S grant) . Finally, they will want to hear how the MCSC , in some small way, helped you get where you are now. Vicki might want to talk about how culturally accepted service and service-l earning is among the youth and how in her role with SL YC she's been trying to encourage more youth to serve. These are just MY thoughts, please include anything you think is pertinent and organize it as you see fit. Please let me know if you need me to make copies or anything. -The board meeting is at Camp Ozanam , north of Port Huron. I will send you directions as soon as we get them . Please let me know if you have other questions. I'll follow up as details become available. :-) Thanks!!!

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. J arret Lawson introduced Evan Albert, the new State Director for Michigan for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). II. Review and Approval of February 11 , 2005 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern A couple areas of the minutes were discussed. The first area was on page four and Commissioners discussed having Congressman McCotter attend the next board meeting. He was not available but will be invited to attend a future meeting. The second area discussed was also from page four and referred to Chairman Mulhern's recommendation that at the next board meeting there would be a discussion on the relationship between the State Board ofEducation and the MCSC. He announced that there is a new Superintendent and that once he comes on board, we will have this discussion. Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 11, 2005 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Learn & Serve Presentation Angelia Salas introduced representatives from L'Anse Creuse. Emma De' Angelis, a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, explained that their district has a service requirement of 40 hours. The community has embraced the idea that service is a part of life. The program started in 1992. Ann Hart, also a Service Learning Coordinator for the district, gave background on how their service-learning program began. Currently, every curriculum area at their schools have a service learning project. At least 50% of the high school teachers are using service learning in their classroom. Over 75% of last year's graduating class had service learning experience. IV. Mentor Michigan A. Census II Results - Bob Kahle presented the Mentor Michigan Census Wave II results. The objectives of the census were to identify and track mentoring organizations, the programs they operate and the number of kids they match with mentors. The MCSC also wants to understand the program components, the needs of the mento ring organizations, and to encourage and support evaluation. He explained the "funnel" and how to build the mentoring movement in Michigan. The first step is to generate awareness and do a better job of recruitment. The next step of the funnel is mentor preparation and 2 �selection which is the background checking and the training issues. The final step is the actual mentoring. Mentoring generates positive outcomes for the kids, adults who mentor and the community. Out of 207 identified mentoring organizations, 136 completed the census. The MCSC intends to go back into the field in fall of2005. Out of 105 organizations that participated in Wave I of the census, 96 of them answered the survey the second time. One thing learned was that to have more mentors, you have to have more inquiries and have to generate more awareness. How did Mentor Michigan do in terms of inquiries and applications in 2004? There were almost 10,000 inquiries and almost 6,300 new applications. This is a significant increase in the number of new applications. In the first two months of 2005 there have been over 3,900 inquiries and 1,800 applications. From January to August 2004 there was a monthly average of 728 inquiries and almost 500 applications. From August 2004 to the end of the year, the monthly average also increased. The monthly averages for the first two months of2005 increased to 1900 inquiries and 926 applications. Clearly there is momentum in the Mentoring Month activities. Mentor Michigan can now document that about 27,000 young people have been served in 2004 and almost 16,000 people volunteered to be mentors. From February 2004 to February 2005, 94 organizations reported increases in the number of youths they have matched with a mentor and 29% reported a decrease. The number of organizations reporting an increase were 3,282, those reporting a decrease were 1,066 for an increase of 2,216 more kids being mentored. There was also a growth of 1,438 active mentors from August 2004 to February 2005. This is due partly to the number of organizations that are now reporting but there is also growth in those organizations that reported in both periods. In terms of mentor and mentee demographics, there was a large increase of 18-25 year old mentors. There are more male youth being served and there is also an increase in the percentage of youth age 6-11 being served and a decline in the number of 12-14 year olds served. There is also changes in the race demographics. There are a large portion of Caucasians being served and a relatively small proportion of African-Americans being served. This does not mean that fewer African-Americans are being served but that there was reporting from new organizations that serve primarily Caucasians. There are two barriers to the growth of mentoring in Michigan. There are too few male mentors. More men need to be recruited to increase the number of kids being served. The second is the lack of staff support for recruitment. Mento ring organizations report that they are at their capacity in terms of the number of mentors they can serve. For many, they need to talk about operating budget enhancements or find a way to reduce the overhead of the mentoring organizations (i.e., screening, training, and match). One key thing to figure out is the loss of mentors after they have inquired because there is a 3 �big drop off between the number that inquire and the number of applications and a further drop off of those that are matched. The first reason is they won't fill out the written application. The second is the time requirement of being a mentor. There is a smaller decline after they learn about the needs and characteristics of the youth and also the training requirements. Liability was not an issue with 50% of the mentoring organizations. Another key point is the screening process. Several of the organizations don' t want to go through the extra step of the extra costs of screening. As far as the criminal background check, only about 5% of applicants are not able to be mentors because of what was found in the background checks. It needs to be encouraged to all organizations that 100% ofthe ·applicants need to screened. Michigan's mentoring organizations are satisfied with the work of Mentor Michigan with 40% being very satisfied and 38% being somewhat satisfied. Only 18% of those surveyed were not aware ofMentor Michigan. They are satisfied through the marketing and awareness building, the recruitment support and the partnership and resource development. Process Recommendations- Using the funnel, there are three key areas: recruitment, mentor preparation and mentoring. Under recruitment, the three areas that need focus are to emphasize and support mentor retention, seek referrals from existing mentors, and become more targeted in recruitment efforts. Next is mentor preparation and selection. Many of the mentoring organizations are at or near capacity. It will be necessary to focus on workprocess efficiencies and to provide tools and training for mentoring organizations to seek operating support funds . Last is mentoring. It is important that we balance the objectives with not only more numbers of mentors, but also the quality of mentors. B. ConnectMichigan Alliance Report - Kyle Caldwell explained a proposal for an AmeriCorps program that would support Mentor Michigan. The goal is to garner 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring. It would take on two stages. The first would have a number of members that would work with communities to promote and strengthen local volunteer organizations around mentoring. The second would work on a regional basis to provide support in training, technical assistance and communication resources to support the local AmeriCorps members. He also shared some of the results from the Mentor Michigan VISTA program. There are over 230 partner organizations involved and 1,818 new mentors recruited. They are looking at growing the program in the next year to areas not served. C. Mentor Michigan Momentum - The Commissioners broke into group discussions to discuss corporate participation strategy and state initiatives strategy. (See notes for discussions attached.) 4 �V.

Fund Development Committee - Mary Grill gave a brief update on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award and shared that so far $239,500 has been raised (which is 140% over last year's goal). She thanked several of the Commissioners who have been helping to solicit donations. B. Public Relations Committee - Commissioner Young-Welch stated that the Committee has proposed some subcommittees to get more of the Commissioners involved in state activities. There would be three different subcommittees and would solicit Commissioners involvement in their regional areas. The committees are Community Activity, Media Activities Committee and Publicity Committee. The Commission staff does not have the manpower to help promote the activities of the Commission. The thought is that Commission members need to step up and acknowledge an area where they can be of assistance. Commissioner Swain shared that this would be an opportunity to use those outside the Commission to help build capacity. The structure can be bigger than the Commission and staff. Kyle stated that there is nothing in the bylaws that would prevent the Commission from bringing in others to participate in committees. VI. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Executive Director Report 1. Super Bowl XL - Janet explained that the MCSC has made a presentation to the Super Bowl XL Host Committee to have the Commission help recruit and train volunteers. There is a proposal to have a pre-event with mentors and mentees. 2. MCSC Progress towards 2005 Goals- The Commissioners received a handout outlining the progress towards the goals. B. AmeriCorps- Paula Kaiser gave background on the Michigan' s AmeriCorps Formula Renewal and New Application. The MCSC was awarded about $3.5 million to fund new and continuing formula programs. The Corporation notified the Commission that they could fund no more than 257 full-time members (this was a change from previous years where the MCSC could fund as many members as they could afford). The MCSC had enough money to fund everything that came in but not enough slots (1 0 slots short). So the stafflooked at programs that didn't fill all their slots last year (2 programs) and reduced their requested number of slots by one FTE. In additional, the MCSC reduced the two new programs' number of slots. 5 �~ · Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: Boys and Girls Club ofBenton Harbor at $146,300; Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council at $172,981; Catholic Family Services at $216,397; Charlevoix-Emmet ISD at $212,800; Communities in Schools Detroit at $321 ,965 ; Habitat for Humanity at $392,663 ; Ionia Intermediate School District at $153 ,600; Jumpstart for Young Children at $166,228; Michigan Primary Care Association at $258,000; The Guidance Center at $250,000; and Volunteer Muskegon at $188,650.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mulhern The meeting was called to order at 12:08 p.m. by Chairperson Mulhern and he welcomed everyone to the meeting. Mary Zatina introduced Natalie Copeland who is a Dearborn Heights High School student and is shadowing Mary Zatina this week. Martha Bottomley and Sara Ballard introduced themselves to the Commissioners. Janet Lawson explained that February is Black History Month and played a speech by Lani Guinier on the needs of a national conversation on race. Ms. Lawson shared that January was National Mentoring Month and that we had a great month with several media interviews by Chairman Dan Mulher. The Mentoring Month PSA's, one with the Governor and First Gentleman and the other with Dennis Archer, were also viewed. II. Review and Approval of December 13, 2004 Minutes - Chairperson Mulhern Chairperson Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the December 13, 2004 board meeting. Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Fund Development Committee- Mary Grill gave a briefupdate on the fundraising for the Governor's Service Awards/Carter Partnership Award. The goal is $335,000, which is a joint goal of the MCSC Fundraising Committee and the Carter Partnership Awards Host Committee. B. Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee- Commissioner Pardoe explained that the Learn and Serve Ad-hoc Committee met today prior to the Commissioner meeting. She explained that the service-learning funding is being cut. A group similar to the Save AmeriCorps Coalition has formed , called Service Learning United, and is trying to help to get funding back to previous levels. The Committee also discussed that if service-learning is going to be an important part of the Commission, there needs to be a plan to sustain it. The funding is based fully on federal funding so there needs to be a way in the future to find another way to sustain it. The Committee feels that service- 2 �learning is an important piece to helping young people understand what it is to volunteer and also learn while they're doing it. They recommend bringing in someone to speak at the next Commission meeting on service-learning to give Commissioners an understanding on what it really is. The Committee will also be putting a plan together to move the Commission forward on sustaining service-learning. Ms. Lawson explained that after going through a series of these conversations, whether it's marketing, service-learning, or fund development, the MCSC needs to put together a plan and a budget for funding the actual work of the Commission. The ArneriCorps, Service-Learning, etc. staff live offthe residue of what we can keep from federal grants to administer the MCSC and it isn' t working. We need to go to our state legislators to make a case, put together a budget and get their input on a budget. If service-learning is going to be a solution to education or if mentoring is going to be a solution to gangs, teen pregnancy, substance abuse, etc., then it's time to show ourselves this solution and make a case for a budget that is going to fund the work that needs to be done. It is difficult if the legislators don't know face-to-face who the MCSC is and the work we do, and we need to be loud about it to tell them this is what it' s going to take to be the solution on these initiative areas. It ' s not a matter that the State doesn' t have the money- the State has the problem. The Governor has indicated where her initiative areas are and what needs to be solved and implemented and the Commission is the solution to that. Chairman Mulhern stated that this is a great discussion of where we add value on a state level. He stated that there will be a new superintendent for the Department of Education and there may be new energy for service-learning. Kyle Caldwell explained a handout Commissioners received regarding Service Learning United. The discussion that the MCSC is having at the state level is the same conversation taking place at the national level. The federal resources are shrinking while the demand and the programming needs and the theme of service-learning are growing. These organizations that are a part of this Serving-Learning network, including State Commissions, State Department of Education organizations, higher education and nonprofits, have all said that they need to effectively defme what service-learning means and then go after a broad funding base in order to support it and fmd champions to help. Service-Learning United is one of those champions. It is a coalition of different organizations, including the ConnectMichigan Alliance, who are leading the country in trying to really focus on two fundamental areas. The first is to ensure that the Corporation for National and Community Service funding remains and grows: Right now the Corporation' s budget for Learn and Serve has decreased but it is still in the budget. The second is to focus on what the regulations are that will affect service-learning and Learn and Serve funding specifically. As was discussed at the last Commission meeting, the Corporation is looking at the rulemaking process for Learn and Serve. Each 3 �of these networks is getting organized to build support for what they should be and how they should be even beyond the federal funding. There is a letter in the packet that is being supported by the National Community Service Caucus, which is a group of House members that have gotten together to say they believe in service-learning. Their letter to the Corporation is about the funding as well as support for regulation that helps support local organizations. There are organizations joining together to unite and talking about the same conversation that the MCSC is having today- how do you fund and support national community service with and beyond federal dollars? The MCSC is a part of this network. What will be important to monitor in the future is how what we think is important gets filtered up to the national level. Mr. Caldwell mentioned that there is a Michigan member, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, that is a member of the National Community Service Caucus and encouraged Commissioners to introduce themselves as a member of the Commission and say that you have knowledge of this activity and are a steward of service-learning in Michigan and support his work with the caucus. Chairman Mulhern mentioned that it would be nice to have Congressman McCotter join us at a meeting or event. Mr. Caldwell also mentioned that he has a former AmeriCorps VISTA member in his office that is extremely excited to make connections with us. Cong. McCotter's office asked what kind of national service is taking place in his district. There is not much going on in his district so the MCSC will need to highlight what he may think is important. Chairman Mulhern requested that at the next board meeting the Commission discuss the relationship between the State Board of Education and the MCSC and how we work together, the education apparatus of community service. The MCSC should look at other states to see how that interface works, where do we add value and what do we bring that the education community doesn't. Should we focus on the nonprofit side and help them to interface with schools or should the focus be on the education side and developing curriculum. IV . Commissioner Involvement I State of the State Bullet points from the Governor' s State of the State Address were handed out to Commissioners and the Commissioners discussed the areas that pertained to the MCSC including the MERIT Scholarship and the 40 hours of volunteer service hours that will be required. This is a great opportunity to engage the students in service and civic engagement. Some of the areas that Commissioners mentioned that the MCSC could focus on were: developing a mentoring relationship to mentor college students most likely to drop-out (freshman); develop a program for professionals (over 55 and retirees) to mentor young students/entrepreneurs to keep them in Michigan; tie in volunteering to community impact priorities and research (ex : homelessness); retain the mentors/prevent mentor burnout; make mentoring the norm. It was suggested that there should be a conversation 4 �between Commissioners (Wendy, Bernard, etc.) for other type ofmentoring (ex. 30 year olds with seniors) so that people are not turned off to mentoring if it only relates to children. Kari Pardoe is working with theY AC (Youth Advisory Council) members to work more closely with Mentor Michigan. The members could mentor seniors on using computers, etc. Ms. Kaiser mentioned that one area that could offer financial support to students that may not be able to go to college is the Presidential Scholarships which is $1000 ($500 with a $500 match) that they can qualify for by completing 100 hours of service. Ms. Kaiser will work on getting a list of schools that participate. The other area to offer financial support is the AmeriCorps program with either the traditional program or the Education Only program. Kyle Caldwell stated that each one of the Governor's initiatives has both a leveraging point for service as well as an illustration point. Either that service is part of the front end (MERIT awards) in order to get the benefit, or during the benefit that service becomes a component. So you're using, as an underlying component, service as a strategy. V. Updates on Progress and Challenges A. Mentor Michigan - Mary Grill gave an update on Mentoring Month. All of the goals that were set for the month were met! It was a very successful month. PSA's were sent out to all the major media markets. They do not specifically mention Mentoring Month so it was suggested that the PSA's could be sent to the GSA sponsors or other corporations to play throughout the month of January or throughout the year on their internal communications systems. Kyle Caldwell shared information on a joint press conference announcing a public/private initiative called the Women's Leadership Initiative. This is a new program through the United Way that will recruit women and young girls in six Michigan cities to engage more women in service and philanthropy. Janet Lawson also spoke at the press conference to share information on the MCSC and the importance of service. Paula Kaiser explained that the Mentor Michigan Provider Council met recently. They have organized themselves around a few key areas. They felt it was important for Michigan to develop specific mentoring standards which will be modeled after the national elements of effective practices. They have established several committees that will focus on training and support for the field of mentoring, evaluation work, marketing and public relations, and collaboration. They meet on a quarterly basis. 5 �B. AmeriCorps - Paula Kaiser explained the background on the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Competitive Renewal Application and that all seven of the currently funded competitive programs are eligible for renewal funding. Staff recommends renewal funding at the recommended amount of: BHK Child Development at $673,318, City Year Detroit at $695 ,230, Good Samaritan Ministries at $130,126, MARESA at $201 ,490, Michigan Department of Agriculture at $228,873, MSU Extension at $252,105, the Regents of the University of Michigan at $302,934 for a total of $2,484,076. Commissioner Meg Smith made a motion to approve the renew funding, Commissioner Jerry Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Andy Younger explained that the AmeriCorps Member Council met recently. Each AmeriCorps program has a representative on the council. The overall goal of the council is to provide a greater understanding for the different AmeriCorps programs. This gives them an opportunity to network with other AmeriCorps programs and to develop their leadership skills. C. Volunteer Investment Grants - Paula Kaiser explained that the MCSC met with the leadership ofthe Volunteer Centers ofMichigan to discuss the 2005 Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). Through these discussions it was proposed that $200,000 would go to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to focus on a couple of key project areas, rather than to grant the money out to local volunteers centers. If the MCSC were to grant this money out to the local centers, the amount of the grants would not be enough to leverage any significant impact. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan will develop a statewide tracking and evaluation system that helps them talk about their value and what they are accomplishing. They will be working with Bob Kahle to develop this tracking system. There are also funds in the proposal to help the volunteer centers obtain the technology they need to have a web presence. Martha Bottomley explained that Volunteer Centers are excited to move forward with these proposals. Commissioner Newport made a motion to approve the Volunteer Investment Grants funding of $200,000 to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. D. Learn and Serve - Angelia Salas gave a brief overview of the ServiceLearning Institute that will take place next week in Adrian and invited Commissioners to attend . 6 �V. E. Governor's Service Awards - Mary Grill gave an update on the Governor's Service Awards. The event will take place on June 18, 2005 , at the Dearborn Hyatt Regency. Commissioners have received packets with nomination forms for the awards and should consider nominating someone. F. Financial Report- Garry Gross gave an overview of the MCSC Financial Report. New Business A. Diversity Presentation - AI Flores, from the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, gave a presentation on cultural diversity. B. ConnectMichigan Alliance/National Service Update - Kyle Caldwell summarized the federal budget and how it affects funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve funding was decreased. Homeland Security and Mentoring budget areas were increased. Mr. Caldwell stated that it will be important for state commissions to stress to their legislators that this budget item is important because it will be going against programs that were zeroed out (vocational education, higher education, child welfare programs). The MCSC should use its contacts in the National Service Caucus (Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is on that caucus). Representatives Kilpatrick and Knollenberg are also on appropriations and also Senators Levin and Stabenow support national service. There is $22 .5 million dollars at stake for Michigan in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve and Senior Corps funding. C. Super Bowl XL- Chairman Mulhern explained that he has had conversations with the Super Bowl XL Host Committee and will be working with them on promoting Mentor Michigan. It will be used as an opportunity to get corporate support on both the financial side and the mentoring side. The volunteer recruitment will be a huge undertaking as Michigan will need to recruit 10,000 volunteers. The commissioners broke up into four groups to discuss four areas: Lead or support; Is this consistent with our goals and mission?; What would success look like?; and Risks/pitfalls. VI. Public Comment There was no public comment. VII. Adjourn Commissioner Collier asked for a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Smith made a motion to adjourn, Commissioner Young-Welch seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:50pm. 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan Citizen Corps has been allocated $377,549 for fiscal year 2005. There is no minimum pass through for this funding. The FY05 Homeland Security Guidelines allow for communities to utilize Homeland Security Funds for Citizen Corps. With Michigan and the rest of the nation receiving such a drastic cut I propose that Michigan Citizen Corps does not RFP any competitive grants this year. With the following budget break down you will understand my reasoning. Personnel- wages, travel (other expenses) $120,000 Six (6) Train the Trainer classes to be held at OCC (@ $13,500 each class two this year four for 06) $81,000 Additional Funding for TEEN SERT Program to take it state wide $76,549 Dearborn CERT program to promote Arab Translation $50,000 Final Payment of Arab translation $22,500 Discretionary other expenses $27,500 TOTAL $377,549 �MICHIGAN citizen Special Projects and projected Fy06 funding Special Projects TEEN SERT Milan High School recently finished training Michigan 's first TEEN School Emergency Response Team. I attended a mock disaster on Thursday, April 14, 2005. The TEEN SERT Team functioned beyond expectations! The scenario was a simulated boiler explosion. The Team had no prior notice of the drill and responded just as they were trained . They will be holding a graduation, with a date TBD, and I invite the council to attend if they are able. Sports Training Saturday, April 2, 2005 at the Tiger Club, Comerica Park was the location for the first CERT training of staff from Comerica , Ford Field , Joe Louis, and The Palace. There were also participants from BC/BS , The Theater District, and Wayne County Government. In all there were 167 participants who attended the 9 hours of training . The participants had already received prior first aid and fire training so the first half of the class consisted of CERT training and the second half Weapons of Mass Destruction. Karen Marsh Deputy Director of Citizen Corps, James Opoka , Regional Citizen Corps Manager, and County Executive Ficano were in attendance to observe the training. (See attached additional VIP attendance list) DHS Training Grant The Department of Homeland Security posted a training grant for submittal of concept papers with the following topics; Training that addresses how to develop, conduct and maintain a government Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) program. Training that strengthens the ability of State and local communities to improve intelligence and operational capabilities for prevention and deterrence of terrorist acts. Training that provides the skills necessary to develop self reliant community groups and individual citizens when preparing for, responding to and recovering from an incident of national significance, i.e ., Citizen Corps, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and other recognized community-related programs. �Training to enhance the transit systems ' (rail, bus, ferry) capacity to prevent and/or manage the consequences of terrorist attacks. Training that develops or augments port facilities' ability to prevent, deter, and/or respond to domestic terrorist acts. Training to increase or enhance the capabilities of health care providers for situations involving mass casualty care operations. I approached Dr Phillip Schertzing, from Michigan State University with a proposal to provide train-the-trainer programs with supporting tools and materials for campus public safety or emergency services personnel at colleges and universities nationwide to train Campus Community Emergency Response Teams (C-CERT) and to form campus Citizen Corps Councils integrated with local, surrounding or adjacent communities consistent with the National Preparedness Goal. Dr Schertzing accepted my proposal and Michigan Citizen Corps and MSU have submitted a concept paper to ODP with a 1.5 million dollar budget. If accepted MCC and MSU will have to submit a full grant proposal. If the grant is approved MCC and MSU will be creating a Campus CERT program at MSU. Following the initial train-thetrainer for the core cadre, a pilot C-CERT program would be conducted for MSU involving students, faculty and staff selected by MSU Department of Police and Public Safety (MSU DPPS). An MSU Citizen Corps council will also be established in conjunction with the city of East Lansing, The C-CERT train-the-trainer program will be delivered on a regional basis nationwide in collaboration with the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA). IACLEA is organized into six major regions nationwide. Arab Translation The translation is almost finished and I will roll it out as soon as I receive it and will target Dearborn and Dearborn Heights as the initial pilot programs. FY06 Funding The Presidents proposed FY06 Homeland Security Budget calls for an allocation of 50 million dollars. I have heard several rumors that one would draw the conclusion that FY05 15 million was too much. I am staying optimistic and hope that at least funding is restored to FY04 $40 million for Citizen Corps. I have created a Google news search for Citizen Corps and CERT related articles and every day I am receiving articles where communities are creating CERT programs. This needs to get into the congressional leaders radar screen so they will see the funding is well spent and just from the programs I have put in motion here in Michigan. I am very passionate about Citizen Corps and the CERT program is the glue that holds it together and is the driving force behind. If any of the council can get this information into those leaders' hands we will be creating country truly prepared and future generations of prepared Americans. �MICHIGA N * citizen corps Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Goes Major League On April 2, 2005 , sports history was made at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan . And no- it wasn't a milestone home run , or a great catch. Rather, history was made when 169 event staff from Comerica Park, Ford Field , Joe Louis Arena , and The Palace came together as a team to get trained in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program . CERT is an integral part of Citizen Corps, the Department of Homeland Security's grassroots movement to actively involve everyone in making our communities and our nation safer, stronger, and better prepared . We all have role in hometown security and more than 1600 Citizen Corps Councils across the country are working to provide local opportunities for everyone to prepare, train , and volunteer for all hazards and .threats. The CERT program educates citizens about disaster preparedness and provides hands-on training in basic disaster response skills, including fire safety, light search and rescue , and disaster medical operations. Once trained , CERT members can assist themselves , their families , and others in their neighborhood or workplace following a disaster and can take a more active role in supporting first responders . Detroit's sports arenas will be in the spotlight over the next few years , hosting several high profile events. Comerica Park will be host to the 2005 All Star Game. In 2006 , Ford Field will host the 40th Super Bowl. And , in 2008, Ford Field will host the NCAA Final Four. Along with the excitement and national attention that comes with hosting these high visibility sporting events, there is also an added set of challenges to focus �MICHIGAN * citizen . corps on, most importantly security and preparedness. The City of Detroit, Detroit Tigers , and Detroit Lion organizations, along with several federal agencies are working together to make sure the best security measures are in place to prevent any type of disaster from impacting the stadiums and the fans during the events. The City of Detroit, its professional sporting organizations, and the state and local Citizen Corps Councils are working together to ensure that the CERT training is a hit. Michigan Citizen Corps and Detroit Citizen Corps are providing the training , materials and equipment for this kick-off event. Because this first class is geared towards staff with prior training in first aid and fire safety, the day-long event focused on disaster preparedness, disaster psychology, the incident command system , and weapons of mass destruction . The remaining staff will receive the full , standard 20 hours of CERT training , so that Detroit can provide their fans with an enjoyable- and safeentertainment experience! �Michigan Citizen Corps CERT Sports Staff Training April 2, 2005 VIP LIST Major League Baseball Dan Mullin, Senior Director of Security Detroit Tigers Randall Lippe, President Olympia Entertainment Rick Fenton, Director of Security, Ditch Holdings Tim Padgett, Vice-President Detroit Tigers Mike Healy, Vice-President Olympia Entertainment National Basketball Association Warren Glover, Director Security Detroit Pistons Palace Sports Mario Etemad, Executive VP Facilities Tom Bennett, Vice President Human Resources Kathleen Hiltner, Health & Safety Administrator Chip Robinson, Director Event Services Laura Passariello, Director Guest Services Mike Keylon, Assistant Director Guest Services Tom Maier, Director of Security Ken Keefer, Facility Patrol Director Palace Sports National Football League Tom Alston City of Detroit Shelby Slater, Homeland Security Director Derrick Miller, Deputy Mayor US Department of Homeland Security Karen Marsh, Deputy Director Citizen Corps Jim Opoka, Central Territory Program ManagerCitizen Corps National Hockey League Al Young Wayne County Robert Ficano, County Executive James Buford, Emergency Management Director �· MiCHIGAN~ citizen"{corps MICHIGAN STATE CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL Michigan Citizen Corps helps communities coordinate volunteers to prepare for and respond to local emergencies. It trains and engages volunteers to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergencies and disasters of all kinds, including threats of terrorism , natural disasters, crime, an d public health issues. When Michigan Citizen Corps began in April of 2002 , the priority was to coordinate its activities with Michigan's Emergency Management. This coordination has been the success of Michigan Citizen Corps and was recently written into the states Homeland Security Plan . Michigan Citizen Corps works closely with State and Federal Departments of Homeland Security, the Michigan State Police Division of Emergency Management, Michigan Department of Community Health, Corporation for National and Community Service and numerous key affiliates to promote Citizen Corps programs statewide. Michigan Citizen Corps experienced tremendous growth in 2004 . Council growth went from 16 to 45 councils (17 local and 28 county), an increase of 181 .25% . Recent successes are the Arab translation of the CERT program and CERT training of the sports staff at Michigan's major league sports arenas Currently under development is the TEEN School Emergency Response Training (SERT) program begun at Milan High School as a dual enrollment course in which students receive college credit from Eastern Michigan University. The Governor's advisor on Homeland Security will be working with Michigan Citizen Corps and Eastern Michigan University to promote the TEEN SERT program. Also under development, in cooperation with the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division , is a database of all Michigan citizens that are disaster trained . Locating and identifying Michigan trained volunteers is critical to strengthen first responders and emergency management if a statewide disaster occurs . 2005 GOALS To synchronize Michigan Citizen Corps programs with key National preparedness initiatives, National Incident Management System Guidelines, and 2005 Homeland Security Grant Guidelines. �) CHARTER PARTNERS IN MICHIGAN CERT • 20 Active Community Emergency Response Teams listed on the CERT directory Vlf·S Volunteers in~ Poli<e Servi<e A ;;;; • 34 Volunteers in Police Service programs Neighborhood Watch • ## Registered Neighborhood Watch groups serve their communities in## different law enforcement jurisdictions COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS Genesee County Citizen Corps Assisted public health department in a mass vaccination flu clinic.

Governor Granholm laid out this call in response to the overwhelming need for mentors. According to a 2004 survey sample of Michigan mentoring organizations, there are a total of2,661 children waiting for a mentor. Some children wait as long as 104 weeks to be matched, while the average wait is 15 weeks. To date, it is estimated that nearly 600,000 youth in Michigan could benefit from a relationship with a mentor. MMA's mission is to increase the number of mentors and strengthen the capacity of mentoring organizations to do their job more effectively and efficiently. MMA will comprise a corps of 40 (FTEs) members strategically placed across Michigan to support mentoring initiatives and recruit mentors at the local and regional levels. MMA will engage at least 1,000 additional volunteers in mentoring and related activities. MMA will be comprised of two components. At the local level, AmeriCorps members will be placed in individual agencies to support and recruit mentors. At a regional level, a team of five corps members will be assigned regions to provide the training, technical assistance and communication resources necessary to support the work of the local AmeriCorps members. This hi-level approach will help ensure that the MMA program and its members are not only supported, but also provide a broader context for the program and its outreach. Local and regional sites will utilize the information gathered by the Mentor Michigan Census (an annual survey of mentoring organizations in Michigan) to determine a baseline for their work and guage their progress against subsequent versions of the Census in coordination with their own mentor matching records. MMA will be hosted by the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), a statewide nonprofit organization with an annual operating budget of $1.4 million. CMA currently hosts three AmeriCorps*VIST A programs that focus on education, volunteer management capacity building and mentoring. MMA will compliment these efforts by expanding the national service resources to more Michigan communities looking to answer Governor Granholm ' s call to service. �Mentor Michigan VISTA Quarterly Summary 1st quarter (July -September 2004) Number of sites: 8 Number ofVISTAs: 20 Number of active community volunteers: 648 Hours of service performed by community volunteers: 2913 Total dollar amount of in-kind donated goods and services: $46,557 Total dollar amount of monetary grants, donations, and fundraising: $19,225 New mentors recruited: 471 New partners engaged: 95 2"d quarter (October-December 2004) Number of sites: 11 Number ofVISTAs: 23 Number of active community volunteers: 587 Hours of service performed by community volunteers: 3490 Total dollar amount of in-kind donated goods and services: $40,937 Total dollar amount of monetary grants, donations, and fundraising: $15,725 New mentors recruited: 426 New partners engaged: All sites completed goal of 10 per VISTA 3rd quarter (January-March 2005) Number of sites: 11 Number of VISTAs: 22 ~umber of active community volunteers: 737 Hours of service performed by community volunteers: 7345 T:otal dollar amount of in-kind donated goods and services: $54,926 Total dollar amount of monetary grants, donations, and fundraising: $29,440 New mentors recruited: 921 New partners engaged: All sites completed goal of 10 per VISTA 1st- 3rd quarter totals (July 2004-March 2005) Number of active community volunteers: 1972 Hours of service performed by community volunteers: 13,748 Total dollar amount of in-kind donated goods and services: $142,420 Total dollar amount of monetary grants, donations, and fundraising: $64,390 New mentors recruited: 1818 (Year one target= 2500) New partners engaged : Over 230 + a program of the C onnectMichigan AttC-a-ft~e � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As only 136 of the 207 (66%) identified mentoring organizations responded to the MMC, it is reasonable to estimate that more than 30,000 Michigan youth benefited from having a mentor in 2004. • Nearly 16,000 (15,977) Michigan residents served as mentors in 2004. • Mentoring organizations are located in 41 of Michigan's 83 counties. Type: One to one mentoring is most common. Group (1 adult to no more than 4 youth) and Team (a group of adults with a group of youth, no more than a 1/4 ratio) mentoring are the next most common. Peer mentoring is often used in schoolbased programs. E-mentoring is a supplement, but as depicted, rarely a primary mentoring form. This distribution is similar to that found in Wave I, with the only significant differences being an increase in the number of one to one mentoring reported and a slight decrease in the amount of group mentoring reported.

Government operated, faith-based and business-based programs are less common. While there are more community-based programs, more children are served through school-based programs. The average school-based program served 169 students in 2004, while the average community-based program served about 115 children in 2004. Kahle Research Solutions Inc.

May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary • Active Mentors: The MMC counted more active mentors in Wave II than in Wave I. Organizations responding to Wave II of the MCC report 10,546 active mentors as of Feb. 28 , 2005. This compares to 9,108 active mentors counted in Wave I (as of Aug 31 , 2004) , an increase of 1,438. Most of this increase is due to organizations reporting for the first time in Wave II, but also apparent is an incremental increase in the number of active mentors from organizations reporting in both Waves I and II.

The monthly averages of mentor inquiries and applications are increasing. The first two months of 2005 witnessed a large increase in the monthly average of both inquiries and applications. This is likely a result of the efforts associated with National Mentoring Month in January 2005.

The only exception to this is that there is a large increase in the proportion of mentors age 18-25. This age group is now the single largest cohort providing mentoring services to younger people. Analysis of the data shows that part of this increase is based on the new organizations reporting in Wave II , but also driving the difference is that recruitment efforts appear to be most effective with th is young adult age group.

The proportion of African-American youth served has declined while the proportion of Caucasian youth served has increased . This is as a result of new programs reporting this period that serve Caucasians. Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary Barriers to Growth of Mentoring in Michigan • Barriers: "Too few male mentors" and "lack of staff support for recruitment" are the two barriers cited most frequently by mentoring organizations. Additional barriers include other factors related to potential mentor characteristics and staff constraints.

Mentor Michigan Census Page 6 Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary • Time from Inquiry to Match: Fifty percent of mentoring organizations report that, on average, a person inquiring to become a mentor is matched with a child within 30 days. Yet, twenty percent of organizations do not track time from inquiry to match. • Reasons Inquires Do Not Match: Mentoring programs report that the most common reason an inquiry does not eventually get matched with a young person is that the potential mentor does not submit a written application. Time commitments, of both intensity (hours per week) and duration (overall length of relationship), also are barriers for substantial minorities of potential mentors. Less frequently cited is the potential mentors' concerns about the special needs of the young person and lastly, the time commitment required for mentor training.

Yet, one in four mentoring organizations respond that they "don't know" their organizations' maximum annual mentoring capacity. • Liability: For the vast majority of mentoring organizations concern with liability is not a factor in preventing more children to be served. Only 4% of organizations report that liability is a major concern. Thirty-five percent report that liability is a "minor'' factor while 42% report, "liability is fully managed so as not be an issue." • Match Termination: Most mentoring organizations report that mentors rarely terminate a match within the first three months; 65% report it occurs less than 5% of the time. Similarly, organizations report that the child's family or guardian terminates the match within the first three months even less frequently. Most matches seem to "take". Yet, even small numbers of terminated matches may be problematic. Mentor Michigan Census Page 7 Kahle Research Solutions Inc.

May 19, 2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary Background, Objectives and Method The Mentor Michigan Census (MMC) is a periodic survey of organizations operating mentoring programs in the State of Michigan. In Wave I of the MMC, conducted in the fall of 2004, 105 organizations responded to the MMC out of a total of 156 organizations that had registered with Mentor Michigan as of September 1, 2004. This reflects a 67% response rate. This report reflects the data from Wave II of the MMC, conducted in March of 2005. Out of a total of 207 mentoring organizations identified and registered with Mentor Michigan, 136 responded (66% response rate). Of the 105 organizations that responded to Wave I, 96 responded to Wave II. Thus, 40 organizations reported for the first time in Wave II. The MCC data were collected via an on-line survey. There were approximately 60 questions in each Wave's survey. Approximately half of these questions are repeated for tracking purposes and the other half specific to each Wave and focused on various items of interest to Mentor Michigan and its key constituents. The primary purpose of the MMC is to understand the scope and nature of mentoring and mentoring organizations in Michigan. Specifically, there are three key objectives: 1. Identify, count, describe, and track mentoring organizations, programs, mentors, and the children served. 2. Understand program components, processes, resources, and needs. 3. Encourage and support program evaluation. Additionally, in this first wave of the MMC, emphasis was placed on understanding the types of organizations that provide mentoring programs. In Wave II, emphasis was placed on understanding barriers to serving more children with mentors, including liability, recruitment and other challenges. Additionally, a special section addressed use and satisfaction with the services and products produced by Mentor Michigan. Mentor Michigan has adopted the National Mentoring Partnership's definition of mentoring. "Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee." Responsible mentoring can take many forms: • Traditional mentoring (one adult to one young person) • Group mentoring (one adult to up to four young people) • Team mentoring (several adults working with small groups of young people, in which the adult to youth ratio is not greater than 1:4) • Peer mentoring (caring youth mentoring other youth) • E-mentoring (mentoring via e-mail and the Internet) Mentor Michigan Census Page 10 Kahle Research Solutions Inc. May 19,2005 �Mentor Michigan Census Wave II: Executive Summary The MMC uses the mentoring funnel as a conceptual framework. The mentoring funnel can be used by organizations and Mentor Michigan when planning, implementing and assessing efforts to provide mentors to children who need them. The funnel identifies key steps in the recruitment and mentoring process to be measured, including number of inquires from potential mentors, number of written applications, background checking processes, training process, number and type of mentoring matches, duration and intensity of matches and mentors repeating the mentoring experience or referring others to become mentors.

Ask an AmeriCorps member to tell you the number of children they've taught, houses they've built, or volunteers they've recruited. You will not only hear numbers, but you11 learn the names of students, addresses of new homes, and places where new volunteers have served. This is because AmeriCorps members work directly with the people or causes that need their help the most. Thousands of Americans throughout the country are addressing communities' toughest challenges through AmeriCorps. AmeriCorps members serve full- or part-time with local organizations and schools. They work to meet education, blic safety, environmental, and human needs. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, or other agencies. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. The host organizations receive funding to recruit, place, and support AmeriCorps members. These members serve for at least one year to help meet the goals defined by each program. Start an AmeriCorps program in your community. If your organization or a group of organizations in your community could use at least 10 full-time Michigan's AmeriCorps members (or the equivalent of 10 full-time positions), contact Kimberlee Andrews or Andrew Younger at (517) 335-4295 or andrewsk1@michigan.gov and youngera1@michigan.gov for funding information. Or visit www.americorps.org to find out more about how AmeriCorps programs are eting local needs. Why do people become AmeriCorps members? AmeriCorps members are individuals who want to take on the challenges their communities face. They understand that AmeriCorps exists to "get things done," and as a member, they are part of the solution.

The district covers four townships surrounding the city of Mt. Clemens. We are near the shores of Lake St. Clair and Selfridge Air National Guard Base is in our community. We have ten elementary schools, four middle schools, two high schools, a vocational technical high school, an alternative high school and we provide the educational programs at the Macomb County Youth Home and the Macomb County Jail. L'Anse Creuse High Schools are home to approximately 1,800 students each, ninth through twelfth grades. In 1992 the L'Anse Creuse Board of Education adopted 40 hours of Community Service as a graduation requirement for all students. They believed the extended classroom of service to others allows students to apply what they have learned, to increase awareness of career opportunities and to realize themselves as contributors to society. The District funded a Community Service Coordinator to work at each of the two high schools. In 1994, our community service coordinator began to explore the service-learning concept, which directly ties community service with the curriculum. We applied for and received a Learn and SERVE grant to plan for service-learning in L'Anse Creuse. In 1996, the procedure for curriculum infusion of service-learning was developed and reviewed by administrators, the superintendent and his cabinet. The Board of Education passed a motion to embrace and support the service-learning concept and change the program name to Community Service-Learning. Continued support from Learn and SERVE grants and the Michigan Community Service Commission have helped to support the growth of service-learning at L'Anse Creuse High Schools. Obtaining teacher involvement in service-learning has been our greatest challenge. We have used workshops and presentations by our coordinator, guest speakers, fellow teachers who have used service-learning and students who have learned from service learning to achieve staff buy-in. In 2000, the Director of Secondary Education informed our Principal that a 11 departments in the high school were expected to 1ead a servicelearning experience in their respective department. The Principal passed that expectation on to the Department Heads and at the end of the 2002 school year, every core and noncore curricular area had a service learning activity or project involving nearly 50% of the teachers. The records of the 2004 graduating seniors indicated that 75% of the graduates had been involved in at least one service-learning activity. A good example of an ongoing service-learning project is the enviromnental science students studying water quality and using hands-on methods to collect and test water samples from the Clinton River each fall and spring. Michigan Curriculum Framework Science V, Content 2 says "describe how human activities affect the quality of water in the hydrosphere". The project becomes service-leaming when the students report their findings to the Clinton River Watershed Council and the Department of Environmental Quality and possibly effect the quality oft he waters that run through their community, into their 1akes and finally out of the water taps in their homes. The students share their findings at a summit with students from 20 other districts who have tested other areas of the river. This is the sixth year the students have taken part in this project. �At L'Anse Creuse High Schools, our community service-learning program has strengthened the relationship between the students and the community. The community leaders, organizations and agencies have recognized the enthusiasm, energy and physical strength our young people can bring to their needs. Students report that they have learned the meaning of the word "community". The students have responded to the needs in their community and, in tum, have become aware of themselves as a possible solution, as opposed to a contributor, to community problems and needs. Our service-learning activities are designed to help students gain civic competencies and skills by recognizing and involving themselves in family, global and community issues, accepting their role and participating in the democratic process and taking and defending a position when warranted. Students are strongly encouraged to recognize their responsibilities as effective citizens in the communities to which they belong as exemplified by the previously mentioned Watershed Monitoring project. Students have been promoted in leadership roles through service-learning as they are often given the opportunity to identify community needs. Teachers recognize that our students are out volunteering in the community every day and have a heightened awareness of community needs. Students are also being given the opportunity to develop a plan to address community needs as reported by teachers who are using the service-learning methodology. We believe that service-learning has had a tremendous impact on our students' learning, behavior and attitudes. A Reflection Questionnaire is part of the service-learning program and every student must complete one, providing them the opportunity to make the learning from their experiences more explicit. A student reported, "I learned many things through service to my community. I discovered that when you give of yourself to others, you will always get much more in return. I also leaned that everything I have learned in school is actually useful in the real world. T hings I considered 'pointless' were things I applied during my service." Another student wrote "Ironically, the biggest contribution I made was to my own character. The community service I did made me a stronger person. While I was helping others, I was helping myself. I contributed most to my own self worth and pride." Teachers wrote: "The students in charge were divided into committees and each committee elected a chair. This was a student-driven activity from beginning to end." " Students I earned to communicate with students of different ethnicity and social backgrounds." "In order for students to understand environmental problems and issues we currently face, they must experience them first hand" "Working with senior citizens also enables students to improve in their personal growth, social development, and an increased civic-mindedness, all of which are instrumental for a successful life after graduation from high school." The impact of our program on the community can best be explained in numbers. Since the program began in 1992, the students o fL 'Anse C reuse HighS chools have given over 4 60,000 hours of service to their community. The community has expressed its confidence in our students by calling the high school on a daily basis, reporting their needs and their desire for our student to assist them. The community has also supported our school district, as recently as May 2005 when they passed a ten-year bond issue for $210 million. When the program first began, one o f o ur challenges w as to get the community to recognize the value o f o ur youth and today the students of L'Anse Creuse High Schools are being recognized as contributing members of their community. �VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY NEEDS L'ANSE CREUSE HIGH SCHOOL- NORTH MAY 2005 (Visit us on the Web @ lc-ps.org) LOCKS of LOVE- donate your hair (10 inches) to this organization that supplies wigs for disadvantaged children with terminal illness.

AmeriCorps members swung hammers, pounded nails, and laid cement to help support the Blue Water Habitat For Humanity' s Jimmy Carter Work Project. "AmeriCorps members are committed individuals who give of themselves throughout the year to make our communities safer and stronger for children and families," said First Gentleman Daniel Mulhern, Chair of the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). "Today the AmeriCorps members visibly demonstrated the power of volunteer service." The Signature Service Project is an annual event hosted by the Michigan Community Service Commission, a state agency that helps strengthen communities through volunteer activities. Project partners are Habitat for Humanity of Michigan and the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. This year's event is part of the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2005 . Former President Jimmy Carter will join an estimated 6,000 volunteers to build more than 200 homes throughout Michigan with families in need. Ten of those homes will be built in the Port Huron community. President Carter will be in Detroit and Benton Harbor June 19-24, 2005. "Today' s project made a huge difference in our community," said Jim Faulkner, Executive Director of the Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. "We're amazed at the commitment of these volunteers and are thrilled that they are helping us make the Jimmy Carter Work Project a reality in Port Huron." Also on hand to serve with and thank the AmeriCorps members were State Representative John Espinoza (D- District #83) and State Representative LaMar Lemmons, III (D - District 3). BACKGROUND: Michigan' s AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, serve in these organizations to meet community needs around education, public safety, the environment, and other human needs. In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 115,000 people and recruit approximately 18,000 volunteers. �Governor's Husband Joins AmeriCorps At Habitat Build May 21, 2005 Page2 The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project is an annual event.

Staff present: Janet Lawson, Janice Harvey, and Joan Bowman. Board Member Development The Executive Committee had a discussion on Board Member Development and the Commissioners that are term limited this year. With Pat O'Day being term limited, we will need to look for someone from the Upper Peninsula. We will lose the corporate and fundraising background from Vivian Pickard. We will also need to look at the seniors network to replace Meg Smith. We also need to look at the geographic make-up of the Commission and where there may be a need (Traverse City, Midland/Bay City, Grand Rapids) . The Mentor Michigan Leadership Council would also have some good candidates for Commissioners. Two areas that are critical to focus on are marketing and public relations and someone with fundraising skills. Mentor Michigan Momentum Janet Lawson explained that the Commission needs to develop a plan for building momentum for Mentor Michigan in the corporate and government agencies. These areas will be addressed at the May MCSC Board Meeting. Chairman Mulhern is meeting Standard Federal Bank and Michigan Trial Lawyers Association to discuss mentoring opportunities. �MCSC Progress Toward 2005 Goals Janet Lawson asked whether Commissioners would like to have a report on where the MCSC is in regards to the goals that were established at the retreat (Public Relations, Ftmding, and Strategic Partnerships). The Executive Committee agreed that this should be part of the May MCSC Board Meeting agenda. The meeting was adjourned at 10:46 a.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bush will present the President's Volunteer Service Award to Jim Comer when he arrives in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday, February 8, 2005. Comer, 57, has been an active volunteer mentor with VIP Mentoring for the past three years. President Bush has called on all Americans to volunteer two years or 4,000 hours over the course of their lifetimes, and he created USA Freedom Corps to help foster a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility. Since March 2002, President Bush has met with more than 400 individuals around the country, like Comer, who are answering the call to volunteer service. VIP Mentoring matches children who have an incarcerated parent, with adult mentors. Comer is currently a mentor to two boys, ages 13 and 16. Comer helped establish a summer employment program for VIP Mentoring at Lear Corporation, called the Lear Automotive Youth Academy. Through this program youth, ages 14 and up, are given courses in proper business attire, etiquette, computer skills, and finance management. The young people are also introduced to volunteer service and spend time working at local community events. In addition to being a mentor, Comer is also the volunteer VIP Mentoring board chairman. Comer was a 2004 finalist for the Detroit Lions' William Clay Ford Community Quarterback Award which recognizes outstanding local volunteers. The President's Volunteer Service Award, an initiative of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, is available to Americans of all ages who have demonstrated their dedication to volunteer service. More information about the award is available at <http://www. presidentialserviceawards. gov/> www.presidentialserviceawards.gov. Through USA Freedom Corps, President Bush wants to help every American answer the Call to Service by strengthening and expanding service opportunities. Interested volunteers can find available service opportunities in their communities at www.usafreedomcorps.gov or by calling �1-877-USA-CORPS . For information designed to show elementary and middle school students how they can start making a difference by volunteering, visit <http:!/www.usafreedomcorpskids.gov/> www. usafreedomcorpskids. gov. At the direction of President George W. Bush, USA Freedom Corps is also working with former President George Bush and former President Bill Clinton as they lead a nationwide charitable fundraising effort to encourage private donations to the tsunami relief effort. Americans are asked to donate money to the organizations listed at <http://www.usafreedomcorps.gov/> www.usafreedomcorps.gov. ### � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
