IN MICHIGAN 2001

*

Almost 90% of Michigan adults made a charitable contribution during the past year.
Giving is strong across all age groups, and most common (96.5%) for the 60-64 age group.
Giving tends to increase with income, but more than three-quarters of those in the lowest
income group made a charitable contribution during the past year.
Most residents (63.6%) plan to give about the same amount next year, while one-quarter
(26.5%) plan to give more and 10 % plan to give less.
One-quarter of Internet users in the survey have gone online to
find out more about a charitable organization.
There is a strong association between giving and volunteering,
with 96.3% of volunteers also making charitable donations.
Half of Michigan's adult population volunteered during the past
year (50.2% ).
The age groups most likely to volunteer are 40-49 years
(54.8%), 18-24 years (53.6%), and 50-59 years (53.5%).
The most common reasons for volunteering were to give back
to the community (95.9% of volunteers) and as
an expression of compassion for those in need
(95.8% of volunteers).
*Survey conducted by the Michigan State University
Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, September/October 2001. Survey of 978 Michigan residents.

Dear Friend of Service:
It is no secret that ordinary citizens become extraordinary volunteers in times of need. Now more than ever Michigan
citizens are demonstrating the power of volunteerism by lending a helping hand to their country, their community, their
neighbor. For this reason, Governor John Engler and the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) are
especially pleased to announce the Ninth Annual Governor's Service Awards and invite you to nominate an exemplary
volunteer. The Governor 's Service Awards honor and celebrate the outstanding efforts of Michigan citizens and
organizations dedicated to serving their community through volunteerism.

Since its inception in 1993, nearly 2,000 Michiganians have been nominated by their friends, neighbors, and colleagues. To
familiarize yourself with the individuals and organizations honored in the past, please review the Governor 's Service
Awards recipients found on page 3. These everyday heroes strive to address human, education, environmental, public
safety, and other community needs through service and volunteerism. We encourage you to look around your own
community to identify an indivdual or organization who goes above and beyond in their service and nominate them for an
award. We also encourage you to consider nominating yourself or your organization for these prestigious awards. There
are 14 award categories described on pages 4 and 5. The deadline for submitting nominations is Thursday,
February 8, 2002.
All nominations are evaluted by a Peer Review Committee that selects a maximum of five finalists , including one winner, in
each category. The Governor's Service Awards finalists will be publicly recognized and honored by the Governor and First
Lady at a dinner sponsored by Ameritech on Monday, April29, 2002 in Lansing, Michigan.
Thank you for your consideration in nominating outstanding individuals and organizations for Governor's Service Awards.

Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award
Look around your community and you will see caring people mentoring children, beautifying parks, serving meals to the
hungry, and reaching out to comfort those in need. Look closer and you will notice an individual who has taken their
commitment to an even higher level - year after year. The Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award was
established to honor these individuals who have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to community involvement and volunteer
service. Individuals nominated in this category have made service a way oflife.
Governor Romney had a passion for community that made him a powerful leader, public figure, and citizen. He cherished his
role as a volunteer and his personal mission was to encourage and support volunteer efforts in local communities, statewide,
and nationally. There is no other individual from Michigan who better exemplified the spirit oflifelong service than Governor
George Romney.

Innovative Spirit Award
When it comes to solving community problems, sometimes traditional ways do not always work. It is often necessary to be
creative and it takes an extraordinary individual to look beyond the norm when helping others. These people are special. They
have the ability to examine a problem, look past the usual ways of tackling it, and dare to try something different. These are
the risk-takers and progressive thinkers. These are the people and organizations for whom the Innovative Spirit Award is
reserved.
Each year as the Innovative Spirit Award nominations are reviewed, the reviewers are impressed by the ideas people have to
improve the lives of their neighbors, friends , community, or congregation. The Innovative Spirit Award is presented to an
individual or organization that is effective and creative in helping people, maximizes limited resources, and recognizes that,
through volunteerism, anything is possible.

Exemplary Volunteer Service Awards
It is no secret that ordinary citizens become extraordinary volunteers in times of need. The Exemplary Volunteer Service
Awards recognize and celebrate everyday citizens who go the extra mile for their community - the mother of four who finds
time to help other people's children with their homework, the grandparents who teach parenting to teen moms and dads, and
youngsters who clean up neighborhoods and parks. Adults and children with disabilities have shown the world that they can
and do help those in need and there are many who do extraordinary work for children, the elderly, the terminally ill, neighbors,
and strangers. These people and organizations are those we recognize with the Exemplary Volunteer Service Awards . The 12
Exemplary Volunteer Service Awards are given in the following categories:

Adult 19- 35 recognizes individuals between the ages of 19 and 35 who volunteer

committed a year of their life to bettering their communities. These individuals
serve their communities tirelessly and include programs such as AmeriCorps,
Learn and Serve, AmeriCorps*VISTA, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows, Senior
Companions, Foster Grandparents, and RSVP.

Adult Service Club/Civic Organization honors an organization or club
comprised primarily of adult volunteers. The group strives to make their community
a better place to live through a variety of activities or by focusing on one issue of
prime importance in their community.

Senior 56 and Older honors individuals ages 56 and older. At a time when
many are thinking about retiring and slowing down, these special volunteers give
more of themselves than ever before. S/he may be involved with a new cause or
have been supporting an initiative for many years.

The Arts in Service acknowledges the importance the arts play in bringing a
well-rounded experience to youth and/or adults and honors individuals and
organizations who demonstrate a commitment to volunteer service through the
arts.

Community Service Program Manager celebrates the work accomplished
by individuals who manage programs providing service to the community. Nominees
in this category are likely to be professionals whose contributions to the community
come through job-related activities.

Service-Learning Educator honors school-based and community-based
educators who combine meaningful volunteer service with academic learning.
Nominees in this category are involved with youth in primary, secondary, or
post-secondary schools and are likely to be professionals whose contributions to
the community come through job-related activities.

Youth Service Club/Civic Organization recognizes an organization or club
that is made up of youth volunteers. This can be a formal, structured group or an
informal group of young people who are working together to make a difference.

Corporation/Business recognizes organizations that demonstrate excellent
corporate citizenship by giving back to the community. This commitment by
management and employees can take many forms including corporate volunteer
programs, monetary contributions, in-kind gifts, and employee volunteer service.

Youth 18 and Younger celebrates an individual age 18 or younger who is
giving back to their community. S/he may be involved in many activities or give
significant time to one particular cause. (Regardless of the volunteer's age, youth
still in high school should be nominated in this category.)

�Youth
Poster
Contest

Youth volunteers are vital community builders helping to shape the future of communities across Michigan. By developing
in young people a desire to serve at an early age, they begin their lifelong commitment as volunteers helping to address
the issues facing communities .
Young people listen to their peers . That is why through an annual statewide poster contest, students are encouraged
to submit a visual image and slogan they feel will best encourage all youth to volunteer. Since 1995 , the MCSC Youth
Poster Contest has found hundreds of students who know and understand the benefits of volunteering and who want
to share that message with others .
The Youth Poster Contest invites Michigan middle school, junior
high, and high school students to work together in teams of two
to four to design a poster and slogan to enter in the contest. To
receive the Youth Poster Contest guidelines, please contact
Ezra Bell , YES Ambassador at the Michigan Community
Service Commission, at (517) 241-3867 or belle1 @state.mi .us .
Poster submissions must be postmarked no later than February
14, 2002. Please do not submit posters without reviewing
application guidelines.
All poster submissions are evaluated by a youth-driven peer
review panel. The winning poster will be unveiled by the
Governor, First Lady, and the students who designed it at the
Governor 's Service Awards dinner on Monday, April 29 , 2002
in Lansing. The poster is also printed and disseminated to
schools and youth-serving organizations across Michigan.
The sponsors of the 2001 Youth Poster Contest were the
Lovelight Foundation, Rob and Diane Collier, Consumers
Energy, Christine Kwak, Russell and Lou Ann Mawby, Michigan
Community Service Commission, Michigan Department of
Career Development, Michigan Department of Education,
Michigan Family Independence Agency, and Michigan State
Police Troopers Association.

Vivian,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for hosting us Friday. The meeting space was
wonderful, the food was great and the staff were very accommodating. Thank you also
for the model cars. They were an excellent touch.
I wanted to follow up on Terry Pruitt's not so subtle suggestion that GM host our winter
meeting next year. Could you let me know if you would be willing to host the MCSC on
December 14, 2000 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m.?
Thank you again for your hospitality.

MEMORDANDUM

TO:

Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission

FROM: Pat O'Day, Chair, MCSC Marketing and Public Relations Committee
RE:

Marketing and Public Relations Update

DATE:

December 6, 2001

The Marketing and Public Relations Committee met via conference call on Wednesday,
December 5, 2001. In attendance at the meeting were Commissioners Pruitt, Pickard, and
O'Day; staff members Kyle Caldwell and Mary Grill; and Rx Coaching representatives Sandra
Xenakis and Nancy Ray.

Marketing Plan Development
Work with Rx Coaching to develop the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC)
Marketing Plan began on November 7, 2001 and will continue until February 7, 2002. At that
time, the MCSC will have a draft of the Marketing Plan and will determine whether to continue
contracting with Rx Coaching to fine tune and assist with the implementation of the plan.
Mary Grill meets weekly with two coaches-Sandra Xenakis is a marketing expert and Nancy
Ray is a strategic planning specialist. Together Sandra and Nancy are working to ensure that the
MCSC Marketing Plan is effective and in line with the MCSC vision, mission, and
organizational priorities.
The first step in developing the marketing plan was creating a work statement from the current
mission statement to more accurately articulate the work ofthe MCSC. This statement will be
utilized to ensure that the MCSC marketing plan stays on track. This statement is not shared
with the general public to describe the MCSC, rather it is used internally by the MCSC to ensure
that all activities, including the marketing plan, are on track with the organization 's stated
purpose. The final draft of the MCSC work statement is:

�The miss ion of the MCSC is to increase the capacity of Michigan 's
volunteer sector by conducting research and evaluation, sharing
information, acknowledging success and effectiven ess, securing funds ,
granting funds , cultivating potential applicants, selecting high-quality
grantees, training grantees, and overseeing and monitoring grantee
results for volunteer-focused organizations, agencies, and strategic
alliances so that Michigan citizens engage in service and volunteerism to
meet community needs.
The second step was defining organizational priorities. These priorities will be used to define the
objectives of the marketing plan. The following organizational priorities have been identified:

1) Secure needed funding in order to grant funds and operate the MCSC.
2) Support, train, and engage staff, commissioners and other MCSC
champions so that they may carry out the work of the MCSC.
3) Support (fund) innovative volunteer programs that meet local needs.
4) Share the results of research and program evaluations with target
markets.
5) Promote service and volunteerism by recognizing and celebrating
exemplary volunteers and volunteer programs.
The future development of the marketing plan will include:
• Development of objectives.
• Determining the target markets (audiences).
• Developing a plan of action.
• Developing a budget and timeline.
Other items that were discussed in relationship to the marketing plan were:
• The importance of incorporating the objectives of the marketing plan into the MCSC annual
organizational performance review.
• Looking at how the MCSC membership aligns with the objectives of the organization and
marketing plan.
• Looking at how the MCSC grantmaking and recognition events align with the goals of the
marketing plan.
• Looking at the organizational structure of the MCSC and determining whether it fits with the
organization' s direction and the goals of the marketing plan.
• The importance of committing the needed resources to the implementation of the marketing
plan.
• Acknowledging that future budget issues may require creative implementation of the
marketing plan (e.g. sponsorships, in-kind contributions, etc.)
• Leveraging Michigan 's national reputation in the implementation of the marketing plan.
10th Anniversart Celebration
The MCSC's lOt Anniversary Celebration has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 12,
2002. The event will follow the same format as originally determined and will provide an

2

�opportunity for the MCSC to thank Michigan ' s legislators for past support and encourage their
ongoing support. Save-the-date post cards are being created and will be distributed to the
legislators, commissioners, and other friends of the MCSC in late December followed by a
formal letter of invitation. The event program is as follows :

•

•

•

Open house: 8:00a.m. -2:00p.m. in the State Capitol, 151 Floor Rotunda. This event
will give legislators the opportunity gain insight into the work of the MCSC and its
programs. Selected MCSC grantees (representing the depth and breadth ofthe MCSC
programs) will set up displays in the Rotunda and adjoining hallways for attendees
viewing. Grantees and staff will be available throughout the day to talk with legislators
and other event attendees.
Media Event and Presentation: 11 :45 a.m. in the State Capitol, 151 Floor Rotunda. This
event will include brief remarks by Mrs. Engler, Dr. Mawby, and others; it will also
include the presentation of a Governor's Proclamation to Dr. Mawby on behalf of the
MCSC.
Private meeting with Mrs. Engler, commissioners, and key legislators: 11:00 a.m. in a
41h Floor Meeting Room in the Capitol. This event will provide an opportunity for
commissioners, including Mrs. Engler, to discuss the work of the MCSC with key
legislators, to thank them for their past support, and to ask them for their ongoing support
and involvement.

It is imperative that commissioners participate in the 1oth Anniversary Celebration in the
following ways:
1. Attend the lOth Anniversary Celebration from 11 a.m.-1 :00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 12,
2002. Commissioners are welcome to participate throughout the day, but the 11 :00 a.m.-1 :00
p.m. timeframe is critical.
2. Call your legislators and invite them to the event.
3. Be prepared to discuss the MCSC and the programs in your geographic district with your
legislators at the event. (The MCSC staff is updating the Program Guide to assist you with
this process. See below.)

MCSC Program Guide
The Committee discussed the MCSC Program Guide that was sent to all commissioners shortly
after the September 1Oth - 11 th Commission Retreat. The Program Guide was designed to
provide the latest information on programs funded by the MCSC so that commissioners will have
the information they need to serve as an ambassador for the MCSC. The Committee
recommended that the revision of the Program Guide include: 1) Brief talking points about the
MCSC programs, and 2) Tips and methods for utilizing the information in the Program Guide.
The revised Program Guide will be distributed to commissioners by January 15, 2002.

The 91h Annual Governor's Service Awards (GSA) reception and dinner are being held on
Monday, April 29, 2002 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. Nomination forms (attached) are
currently available at the MCSC and are being distributed to MCSC grantees, nonprofit
organizations, and others across the state involved with volunteerism. The nomination forms are
also available on line at www.state.mi .us/career/mcsc. The completed nomination forms are due

�to the MCSC by Thursday, February 8, 2002. All commissioners are invited to serve as peer
reviewers to select the five finalists and winner in each ofthe 14 categories. This is an excellent
opportunity for commissioners to learn about the exemplary volunteers we support. The peer
review will take place on March 8, 2002 at the MCSC. SBC/ Ameritech has indicated their
intention to sponsor the Governor's Service Awards again this year. Additional sponsors are
also being sought to support this event.
We will be using the expertise ofRx Coaching to ensure that the Governor' s Service Awards
meet the ongoing mission of the MCSC and that specific GSA objectives are incorporated into
the marketing plan.
MCSC Web Site
The State of Michigan has developed a new web site program, £-Michigan, that provides
mandatory guidelines for web site development for all state agencies. The first meeting of the
MCSC and £-Michigan will take place on December 10, 2001. Following this meeting the
MCSC will have a better idea ofthe process of migrating its current site into the new format.
Meanwhile a staff work group is continuing to discuss the re-vamping of the current site to
ensure that the new site meets all of our internal/external needs.
The MCSC staff is working on activating the web address www.mcsc.org for the MCSC. It is
anticipated that the new web address will be operational in early 2002.
Committee Recommendation
The Committee discussed the ongoing role of both the Marketing and Public Relations
Committee and the Legislative Committee. These two committees are ad hoc committees of the
MCSC Outreach and Communications Committee. It was determined that the two committees'
separate work has been completed. Therefore, it is recommended that the two ad hoc
committees be merged back into the Outreach and Communications Committee and be cochaired by Commissioner Pruitt and Commissioner O'Day.

Learn &amp; Serve Michigan Grants (approval item)
Ms. Kaiser explained that the MCSC began administering the Learn &amp; Serve
Program school-based grants last year for the Michigan Department of Education.
We began administering the program after the grant guidelines and applications
had already been reviewed and funding decisions had been made for that year so
this is the first year for the MCSC to handle the grant guidelines and application
process for the school-based funds .
This year the MCSC had a total of $750,000 ft.mds available for school-based
grants. The MCSC decided to offer three grant types. One was a planning grant
in the amount of up to $8,000 for schools that had never done service-learning and
wanted to begin planning for the implementation of service-learning district wide.
Schools that had been doing service-learning and wanted to expand and enhance
what they were doing could apply for an implementation grant up to $20,000 and
those that had been doing service-learning and are looking to institutionalize
service-learning within their district could apply for what staff call a CHESP grant
which entails having partnerships between higher education, the community and
schools in the amount of $35,000.
The staff recommended fi.mding at the requested amount for the following
plarming grants: Bedford Public Schools fi.mding at $8,000, Laingsburg

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Members ofthe Executive Committee of the Michigan Community Service
Commission

FROM:

Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs

RE :

Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grant Funding Recommendations

DATE:

November 14, 2001

Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants FY 2002
In September, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1
million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants would be reduced to
$907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November, we were notified of an additional cut of
$50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. Although we were disappointed in
the budget cut, we feel that we fared well compared to other state department given the
significance of the overall budget reductions for the state. We are unclear if this is a permanent
reduction or a temporary one given the current budget constraints. We will keep you posted as
we know more.

In September, the MCSC issued the Michigan' s Volunteer Investment Grants application
guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC
sent a copy of the guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer
Centers, and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. The applications were due to the MCSC on
October 22,2001. We received 18 applications requesting $1,057,658 . The applications were
peer reviewed on November 1, 2001. The peer review recommended 13 of the applications for a
total of$718 ,858 proceed to the staff review. The staff was committed to dispersing all ofthe
available funds given that the amount requested exceeded the funds available. The staff
reviewed all 18 applications including those not recommended to proceed from the peer review.
The staff is recommending the 13 applicants recommended from the peer review be funded at the
requested level.

�The staff is recommending the five applicants not recommended from the peer review receive
funding at a reduced level. Although issues were identified with the five applicants
recommended at a reduced level, the staff is confident that all of the issue will be addressed over
the course of the program year.
Due to the tight application and review timeline, the staff was not able to negotiate all funding
issues prior to presenting their funding recommendations to the board. Therefore, the staff is
recommending provisional funding pending satisfactory completion of application revisions .

Recommendation #1
The staff recommends funding for the following applicants at their requested level pending

�HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE:
THE SERVICE TRANSITION
In my own personal e2eperience I haue found that
the transHion from high school to college Is uery
difficult. life not only changes In all of the obuious
ways, but it takes time to get into the swing of
things. In high school we all were pretty
comfortable and didn't mind taking charge and being
a leader, but in college it is totally different. When I
first got to Western I was uery intimidated. I wasn't
sure where to start, but once I got used to be away
from home things got easier. Personally, I think that
It Is way more difficult to actually decide what His
that you want to get lnuolued ln. There are so many
different groups, the main thing Is to go out and
learn about what Interests you. If you thought that
you were helping a lot of people while you
uolunteered In high school, then just imagine how
many people you can reach if you get people
lnuolued in your college community. ftlways
remember that It only takes one person to make a
difference, so don't euer think that you don't count.

Basically,
my recent
community
seruice has consisted of giuing input
at the Grand Rapids Home for
Ueterans
Hospital
Chairperson's
Committee, and substituting at the
Ueterans Home front desk:, which
included
answering
the
phone,
recemmg flowers for the residents,
and giuing directions.
I haue also
been helping to plan some local
celebrations for the 4-H Centennial
Year in 2002. I am also a member of
the Karol Players Theater Guild which
puts on dinner theaters and giues the
profit to local charities, so I haue
been rehearsing and preparing for
our neHt play, coming up in December.
The Theater Guild members are
currently considering an additional
performance at the Ueterans Home.
At a recent meeting of 4-H Teen
Leaders, I gaue a brief oueruiew of
Malee a Difference Day and eHplained
how to get a project started or
connect with an eHisting project. In
case you are wondering, I do haue an
idea in mind that I am working on for
Malee a Difference Day.

By: Tiffany Wieland

�Ever had one of those kind of ~ays? You know
what I'm talking about.. . the day where nothing seems
to get done, but absolutely everything is due? The kind
of day where people keep asking you for help, for your
point of view, for your ideas on things and you just
can't even think straight? Welcome to life in college
- a continuum of things due and no time to get them
done. With that kind of lifestyle, one might ask how
we could continue to find time to be involved in
community service. Yet, despite of all the things that
I have to do for school, the projects that are due, the
study groups I have to meet with, and the tests to
study for - I have never once turned down the
opportunity to serve. Maybe it just provides me the
opportunity to break away from the stress and chaos
of my life and get involved in helping someone else. In
addition, I just enjoy being able to impact the lives of
others. Or perhaps - I just like the whole idea of
service to my community. You can always make time
for the things that you want to do ... trust me, I have
been known to shop in the hours before major exams!
Speaking of which . .. I actually have one coming up
soon that I should get ready for! The priority right
now however, is to convince you that no matter how
busy you are, you can still have time for service.
Alright, I know that you can't go for a weekend to
New York to help cleaning efforts there, and I
certainly understand that you won't be able to take a
week-long trip somewhere to help build a house for
someone. Yet I do know that you can take a couple
hours here or there to make a positive difference in
the life of someone else.
Maybe it's through
volunteering at your local place of worship. Maybe you
could take a little kid you know to the park - having
fun with them and giving the mom a break at the same
time. Or maybe all you need is to just take a few
minutes to rake the yard of the elderly person who
lives down the street. None of this is too timeconsuming (unlike the time its taking to write this!),
but it could make a huge impact on someone' s life
(something this article just might not be able to do).
You get the point? I hope so! Service is always good,
always helpful, and can always be performed. So why
are you still sitting here reading my article? Go out
and help someone! While you do that, maybe I should go
do some studying... and then I just might have to come

Where can young people go to learn more about volunteering and planning service
events? The Volunteerism SuperConference is for all of Michigan's volunteer leaders,
including youth. April 29 to April 30, 2002 will bring hundreds of people to the
Lansing Center in Lansing, Michigan to celebrate, discuss, and learn more about
volunteerism on a statewide basis. You, as a youth in service, are invited to be a part
of this special event. You may take advantage of this wonderful opportunity in
several ways. You could present at the conference. If you have an exciting program
that you volunteer for, you can tell others about it! Or, you are welcome to attend
the conference. Sessions will be offered that are specifically geared toward youth
programming and youth service. Lastly, you can nominate or be nominated for a
Governor's Service Award. As a tradition of the Volunteerism SuperConference, the
Governor will host his annual Governor-s Service Awards Dinner on April 29, where
several top service leaders in the state will be honored.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities, contact Ezra Bell
(belle1 @state.mi.us or 517-241-3867) as soon as possible and he will help get you set
up. You cay also contact Sara Ramsey (kvetching@hotmail.com or 517-355-9368) or
Ryan Fewins (Ryan.A.Fewins@cmich.edu or 989-773-4784), members of the planning
committee for this conference.

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Members and Friends of the Michigan Community Service Commission

FROM:

Kyle Caldwell, Executive Director

RE:

December 14, 2001 meeting in Detroit

DATE:

Wednesday, December 05,2001

Enclosed is the packet for our December 14th meeting at the Renaissance Club in the
Renaissance Center. Many thanks to Commissioner Pickard and the General Motors
Corporation for hosting us again this year.
Our agenda is very tight. We will hear reports from the standing committees on our work in
legislative affairs, public relations and board development as well as a recommendation from the
Executive Committee regarding federal legislation. In addition, the staff has a number of
funding recommendations for your consideration and approval.
We will welcome two new commissioners- Ms. Nonie Brennan and Mr. Alphonso Swain.
Representatives from City Year Detroit (CYD) will join us to talk about the work they have been
doing over the past three years. CYD is one of the nation's largest national service programs and
it was one of the models looked to by the Clinton Administration when developing the
AmeriCorps program. As you know, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC)
and the Kresge Foundation are the two largest investors in this program. In fact, the MCSC is
one of the nation's leading state commissions when it comes to providing national service funds
to City Year. Penny Bailer, the Executive Director of CYD will be presenting along with staff
and corps members from the City Year Detroit program.
We are expecting a very exciting meeting and look forward to seeing you on Friday.

MCSC Program Guide
The MCSC Program Guide that was sent to all commissioners shortly after the Commission
Retreat on September 10-11, 2001 will be reviewed and updated prior to the 1oth Anniversary
Celebration. The Program Guide was designed to provide the latest information on programs
funded by the MCSC so that commissioners will have the information they need to serve as an
ambassador for the MCSC. The revised Program Guide will be distributed by January 15, 2002.
Giving and Volunteering In Michigan
In partnership with the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) and Michigan Nonprofit
Association (MNA), the MCSC commissioned a survey conducted by the Michigan State
University Institute for Public Policy and Social Research. This survey studied giving and
volunteering practices ofMichiganians. The key points resulting from this survey (attached)
were unveiled at a press conference in the State Capitol Building on National Philanthropy Day,

2

�November 15' 2001. The press conference was moderated by Sam Singh of MNA and was well
attended by media representatives. Other speakers at the press conference were: Commissioner
Collier; Kyle Caldwell; Chris Nelson, Michigan Association of United Ways; and Tina HartleyMalivuk, Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids.
The survey was of 978 Michigan residents and has a 3.1% margin of error. In essence, this
survey results reflects rost-September 11th statistics. Seventy of the 978 surveys were completed
prior to September 11 t • The survey was then stopped for approximately two weeks and then
continued at the end of September and into October.

MCSC "In The News"
Over the past two months, Kyle Caldwell has had the opportunity to promote the MCSC on
public television and network radio. On October 18th, Kyle appeared on the University of
Michigan PBS Channel 53, based out of Flint, to discuss Make A Difference Day and
volunteering in Michigan.
Kyle was also a special guest on "Consumer Insider", a program of Michigan Public Radio, on
November 24t\ and a special guest on Michigan Talk Radio on November 30th. Both radio
interviews focused on giving and volunteering in Michigan, particularly post-September 11th.
The MCSC continues to subscribe to a news clipping service. This provides an excellent
tracking source for our current public relations work and helps us keep abreast of volunteer
activities statewide. A small sampling of current news clippings is attached for your
information.

Make A Difference Day
Make A Difference Day was Saturday, October 27, 2001 and the MCSC once again facilitated
the Make A Difference Day (MDDay) activities in Michigan. MDDay was an overwhelming
success with 62,744 volunteers involved in 381 Make A Difference Day projects in 198 cities
and 77 counties throughout Michigan!
The number ofMDDay partner organizations increased to eight this year when the Michigan
Office of the Corporation for National &amp; Community Service (CNS) joined the initiative. In
addition to the MCSC and CNS, the other statewide partner organizations are: Council of
Michigan Foundations, Michigan Association of United Ways, Michigan Campus Compact,
Michigan Family Independence Agency, Michigan State University Extension, and Volunteer
Centers of Michigan.

MYPAC
There are currently ten MYP AC Executive Council members and 19 MYP AC Ambassadors.
The Executive Council meets quarterly either in person or via conference call. T-he Ambassadors
meet annually-in the summer for a training retreat. The roster of current MYP AC members is
attached.
The MYP AC Executive Council 2nd Quarter Meeting was held on November 10-11, 2001 at the
Holiday Inn in Mt. Pleasant. At this meeting, the Executive Council discussed generating new

3

�interest in the Youth Poster Contest and Governor's Service Awards, received training in fund
development and volunteer recruitment, and had the opportunity to network with each other,
share ideas, and brainstorm solutions to challenges surrounding youth volunteerism.
The first edition ofMYPAC Feedback, a newsletter created by MYPAC members for MYPAC
members, is attached for your information and enjoyment.
Michigan's Promise
Michigan's Communities of Promise continue to participate in bi-monthly conference calls to
keep abreast of activities in the field. These calls include a national update from America's
Promise staff, a statewide update from the MCSC staff, and an opportunity for Community of
Promise partners to discuss issues, share ideas, and celebrate accomplishments.
Eighteen individuals from Michigan representing ten Communities of Promise and Michigan's
Promise attended the first ever America's Promise Regional Training Forum in Chicago on
October 24-25, 2001. These individuals joined approximately 60 others from five states for this
event that provided training in the area of Promise Stations (web sites for Communities of
Promise), America's Promise Checklist, and Sustaining the Promise.
CMF is once again serving as the fiduciary for housing an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow at the
MCSC. The Promise Fellow application has been submitted and the review is pending. Thank
you to Commissioner Collier for CMF's ongoing support.
The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan have received two national direct AmeriCorps Promise
Fellows through the Points of Light Foundation. These Promise Fellows will help current
Communities of Promise connect with local Volunteer Centers and will help other Volunteer
Centers lead the local effort to become Communities of Promise. The VCM Promise Fellows
will work closely with the MCSC/CMF Promise Fellow to serve local communities.
Attached you will find the most recent edition of The Link, the bi-monthly newsletter
highlighting statewide and local Michigan's Promise activities. The Link, which was written and
edited by Mary Ann Williams, the AmeriCorps Promise Fellow housed at the MCSC as a loaned
executive from CMF, is faxed to all Communities of Promise, Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise
Fellows and site supervisors, Emerging Communities of Promise, and other Michigan's Promise
partners.
Disability Project
At the Disability Advisory Committee meeting on October 11, 2001, committee members had
the opportunity to learn more about the Youth Leadership Forum, an educational and
motivational program for high school juniors and seniors with disabilities, sponsored by the
Michigan Commission on Disability Concerns. In addition, committee member~provided input
into the ongoing development of strategies to encourage participation of individuals with
disabilities in all MCSC programs, projects, and activities.
Linda Adam, the Disability Coordinator, continues her efforts to broaden the disability
awareness knowledge base of MCSC staff and programs. Her efforts are focused in three

4

�primary areas: research, outreach, and grantee awareness and assistance. The application to
secure funding for the Disability Coordinator's positi on for another year was submitted with the
application to CNS for admini strati ve funds.
Through the current Disability Grant, funds are available to assist grantees provide reasonable
accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Beginning in early December, the grantees can
submit a simple application form to request accommodation funds from the MCSC.
MCSC Web Site
The State of Michigan has developed a web site program, E-Michigan, providing mandatory
guidelines for web site development for all state agencies. The first meeting of the MCSC and
E-Michigan will take place on December 10, 2001. Following this meeting the MCSC will have
a better idea of the process of migrating its current site into the new format. Meanwhile a staff
work group is continuing to discuss the re-vamping of the current site to ensure that the new site
meets all of our internal/external needs .
Staff
The contract for the Communications Coordinator, Maria Santana, was not renewed at the end of
September 2001. With the development of the new marketing plan, the MCSC staff feels the
funds allotted for this position would be better utilized by contractors for layout and design and
for the development and implementation of other marketing projects.

MEMORANDUM

TO:

Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission

FROM:

Paula Kaiser, Director of Programs
Michigan Community Service Commission

RE:

Program Division Director's Report

DATE:

December 3, 2001

Enclosed for your review is my program division update of our recent accomplishments and
upcoming activities.
Michigan's AmeriCorps
Member Celebration
On November 13,2001, the MCSC hosted the third annual Michigan's AmeriCorps Member
Celebration in Lansing. The event gathered more than 400 AmeriCorps members for a day of
orientation, training, and networking. The day culminated with the members being officially
sworn in by Commissioner Watkins. Thank you to all the commissioners that attended the event.
Michigan's AmeriCorps FY 2002- 03 Application Process
Currently the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is unable to provide us
with the exact dollar amount of our formula allotment for FY 2003. Until Congress passes the
appropriation bill the CNCS will not be able to provide the MCSC with this figure. The staff has
reviewed the formula allotment from the past two years and anticipates about the same amount
roughly $2.8 million dollars. This may fluctuate based on the census data. In addition, the
CNSC has limited the number of applications we can submit for competitive funding to two
applications and that number includes programs that must recompete.

Twenty-five of the twenty-six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If
the MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728.
As a result, the staff recommends that we not conduct an application process to select new
Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. Please see the staff recommendation memo dated December

�6, 2001 for the specific recommendation.
Staff Update
In my last report I indicated that Michael Freeman, the MCSC training and technical assistance
coordinator would now being serving as one of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program
coordinators and that I would be soliciting resumes to fill the second AmeriCorps program
coordinator position. I am pleased to announce that Kimberlee Andrews joined the MCSC staff
on November 26, 2001. Kim brings a wealth of AmeriCorps experience to the position, as she is
a former staff member for two of our Michigan's AmeriCorps programs as well as a former
member.
Learn &amp; Serve- Michigan

Learn &amp; Serve-Michigan School-Based Program 2001-02 Application Process
The MCSC has $750,000 for FY 2002 to fund Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based
programs. In September the board approved 22 grants totaling $487,675. The staff conducted
another application process to solicit additional school-based grants for the remaining $262,325.
The application guidelines were sent to all local School Districts, Intermediate School Districts,
charter schools, and public school academies. The staff is recommending a total of 6 Learn and
Serve-Michigan school-based programs for funding for a total of$54,000. The staff is currently
reviewing options for the disbursement of the remaining $208,325 . Please see the staff
recommendation memo dated December 61h.
Institute on Academic Service-Learning
The MCSC in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact and Eastern Michigan University
will be hosting an Institute on Academic Service-Learning on February 8-9, 2002. Faculty,
staff, administrators and students are invited to participate in the institute. Featured speakers
include, Dr. Barbara Holland, a Senior Scholar in the Center for Service and Learning at Indiana
University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Dr. Jim Kielsmeier, President and CEO of the
National Youth Leadership Council, and Dr. Samuel Kirkpatrick, President of Eastern Michigan
University. Please see the attached brochure for additional information.
Volunteer Investment Grants &lt;VIG)

VIG 2002 update
In September, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) was notified that the $1
million line item for the FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants would be reduced to
$907,300 due to state budget cuts. In November, we were notified of an additional cut of
$50,000 to bring the available amount of dollars to $857,300. Although we were disappointed in
the budget cut, we feel that we fared well compared to other state department given the
significance of the overall budget reductions for the state. We are unclear if this is a permanent
reduction or a temporary one given the current budget constraints. We will keep you posted, as
we know more.
On November 16, 2001, the staff presented their FY 2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment
Grant funding recommendations to the executive committee for approval. Please see the

2

�attached memo for additional information. The MCSC is pleased to note that for the first time
we received requests in excess of the amount available and we disseminated all available funds.
The FY 2002 grants began December 1, 2001.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows
Program Update
In June, the MCSC submitted an application to the Corporation for National Service for another
year of support for the Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows program. The Corporation
approved our application at the requested amount for $177,000 to support 15 promise fellows.
Grantees eligible for renewal were given the opportunity to renew their current fellow(s)
position. In addition, other Communities of Promise were invited to apply. The application
guidelines were sent to all Communities ofPromise in October. A total of nine applications
were received requesting $$172,500 to support 15 fellows. Please see the staff recommendation
memo dated December 6, 2001 for additional information.
Tri-State Orientation
For the past two years, the MCSC has partnered with the Ohio Commission and the Indiana
Commission to conduct a three-day orientation for all Promise Fellows from the three states.
Plans are currently underway for the third tri-sate orientation that will occur January 31 February 2 in Hillsdale, Michigan.

Training and Technical Assistance
Annual PDAT Plan
We submitted our annual Program Development and Training (PDAT) plan to the Corporation
on October 30, 2001. Although we have not received official notification of funding, we have
received preliminary indication that it will be approved as requested.
New Staff
We are pleased to announce that Andy Younger joined the MCSC staff on October 29, 2001 as
the new Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator. Andy came to us from the University
of Michigan -Flint's Office of Service Learning and School Partnerships as the Community
Service Coordinator. Prior to that Andy served for one year as an AmeriCorps members with the
Genesee County AmeriCorps Program. As an AmeriCorps member, he served at the Resource
Center, Genesee County's volunteer center where he had the opportunity to coordinate a number
of volunteer events and programs.
Peer Exchange with other State Service Commissions
We continue to help build the capacity of not only our own commission but the other
commissions across the country. On December 10- 11, the MCSC hosted two new staff
members from the Iowa commission for a peer exchange on the administration of our Michigan's
AmeriCorps program. On December li\ the MCSC hosted the new training coordinators from
the Iowa Commission, the Nebraska Commission, the Wisconsin Commission, and the
Minnesota Commission to learn how we implement our training and technical assistance
initiative. Tom Lenhard, one ofCNCS's training coordinators, attended as well.

Resolution
Reauthorization of National and Community Service

As service and volunteerism are one of our nation ' s truly enduring forms of community
problem solving;
As service to community and civic engagement are the core principles by which
democracy stands;
As in times of prosperity and crisis, volunteer efforts are equally relevant;
As states have proven the value and effectiveness of national service and volunteer
programs;
As fmancial support and leadership are necessary for national service and volunteer
programs to grow and be sustained; and
As Michigan has developed a vast network of national service programs that have a
wealth of experience and knowledge on how national service can work and work better;
The Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission hereby recommend the
reauthorization of the Corporation for National and Community Service and the national
service programs administered by it as prescribed in the National and Community Service
Act of 1991 and the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 with the
inclusion of the following recommendations:
1.

Reforms to the Corporation for National and Community Service as articulated in
testimony offered by Michigan to Congress and by the nation's governors is
adopted (see May 18, 1995 Testimony ofMichelle Engler, before the House
Government Reform and Oversight Subcommittee on Human Resources and
Intergovernmental Operations and the National Governor's Association National
Service Policy, HR-24);

2.

Programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service should
be coordinated through a coordinated plan that crosses all "streams of service"
and that focuses resources, coordination, administration and accountability on the
state and local levels;

3.

Adequate and flexible funding for programming, training and technical assistance,
evaluation and administration should be afforded to states and communities to
effectively operate national service programs;

�4.

Barriers to those who wish to serve and are on public assistance or who wish to
transfer their benefits to others should be removed;

5.

Methods of accountability and oversight should be balanced with the national
service resources made available for those functions; and

6.

States and local communities should be provided the greatest level of flexibility to
fully utilize national service resources and match those resources with local needs.

Adoption of these recommendations and the swift passage of reauthorizing legislation
will provide the continuing support Michigan's national service network needs to sustain
its noble efforts.
Adopted by the members of the Michigan Community Service Commission
December 14, 2001.

Learn &amp; Serve Michigan School Based Grants
Background
The MCSC has $750,000 for FY 2002 to fund Learn and Serve-Michigan School-Based
programs. In September the board approved 22 grants totaling $487,675 . The staff conduct
another application process to solicit additional school-based grants for the remaining $262,325.
The application guidelines were sent to all local School Districts, Intermediate School Districts,
charter schools, and public school academies. The MCSC offered three categories of funding.
School districts that have never received Learn and Serve funding were able to apply for up to
$6,000 in order to develop a plan to establish academic service-learning throughout the district.
School districts that have received funds in the past were able to apply for up to $15,000 to
expand quality academic service-learning practice throughout the district. Finally, the MCSC
offered grants of up to $30,000 to school districts to establish partnerships between institutions
of higher educations, K-12 school districts, and community organizations whose primary goal is
to advance the institutionalization and sustainability of academic service-learning through policy,
research, and dissemination initiatives. The MCSC hosted technical assistance conference calls
on October 18th and 19th for all schools interested in applying. Schools districts interested in
applying were required to submit an Intent to Apply form by October 24, 2001 . The MCSC
received 11 applications on November 14, 2001. The applications were reviewed by an external
panel of reviewer on November 26, 2001. The peer reviewers recommended that 7 applications
be moved forward to the staff review. The staff reviewed them and make the follow
recommendations:

�School Based Planning Grant Applicants
Planning grants are available to school districts to develop a plan to establish academic servicelearning throughout the district. Applicants are asked to organize systems and stakeholders who
will spend the year developing broad goals for implementing quality academic service-learning
practice throughout the following two years. Applicants are required to pilot one academic
service-learning activity at the end oftheir initial planning year. Applicants may apply for up to
$6,000 for planning grants.

The staff recommends funding at the requested amount for the following applicant:

School Based Implementation Grant Applicants
The MCSC provides grants to implement academic service-learning throughout Michigan school
districts. Districts must demonstrate knowledge of and experience with promoting academic
service-learning in previous years. The primary goal of the implementation grants is the

Michigan 's AmeriCorps Application Process for FY 2002-03
Currently the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is unable to provide us
with the exact dollar amount of our formula allotment for FY 2003 . Until Congress pass the
appropriation bill the CNCS will not be able to provide the MCSC with this figure. The staff has
reviewed the formula allotment from the past two years and anticipates about the same amount
roughly $2.8 million dollars. This may fluctuate based on the census data. In addition, the
CNSC has limited the number of applications we can submit for competitive funding to two
applications and that number includes programs that must recompete.

4

�Twenty five of the twenty six Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are eligible to be renewed. If
The MCSC renews all of our current formula funded programs it would equate to $2,866,728 .
As a result, the staff recommends that we not conduct an application process to select new
Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees. If our formula allotment exceeds the $2.8 million then
staff will evaluate the best option for disbursement of the funds.
The Family Independence Agency Family Services Corps AmeriCorps program, a competitive
funded program, is the only program that is not eligible to be renewed. They are currently in the
third year of a three-year funding cycle and therefore are required to recompete as a new
program. Rather than penalize them because the staff is recommending to not conduct an
application process to select new grantees, the staff recommends allowing them to reapply. They
would be required to follow the same process a new applicant would including being peer and
staff reviewed.

DRAFT

Summary of 2001 MCSC Commissioner
Retreat
"Transitions''

September 10-11, 2001
Brook Lodge
Augusta, Michigan

�MCSC Summary of Strategic Planning
"Transitions"

The Michigan Community Service Commission is dedicated to enabling all
citizens, including youth, to engaging in public problem solving through
service and volunteerism.
Backgrou nd
The following is a draft summary of the general discussion of the members and friends of
the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) at the 2001 MCSC
Commissioner Retreat at Brook Lodge in Augusta, Michigan on September 10 1h and 11 th.
The theme of this event was "Transitions." This theme was crafted to address the
anticipated changes at state and federal levels that may impact the work of the MCSC.
However, in light of recent events, it could very well be equally appropriate to use this
theme to illustrate the changing times in which we will live given the horrific events of
September 11 , 2001. Now, more than ever before, communities will need to look at local
issues and find creative solutions to solving them. Creative volunteer solutions will not
depend on the work of any one individual or organization, not just because of scarce
resources, but because we will need more opportunities to bring people together. This
was clearly on the minds of Commissioners as they discussed the future of the MCSC .
The staff of the MCSC has synthesized the feedback received from the Commissioners
and offered responses in the form of specific recommendations for operational
modifications for the MCSC. (The summary of the feedback from the commissioners is
paraphrased and is in no way intended to serve as a verbatim recollection of the dialogue
that took place at the Retreat). These recommendations are based on the principles and
goals articulated in the "Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in
Michigan" approved by the members of the MCSC at their December 2000 meeting (see
attached document entitled, "Future ofMCSC Sponsored Service and Volunteerism in
Michigan").

Method
The Retreat provided opportunities for Commissioners to (a) learn about the future
context that the MCSC must operate within, (b) hear the advice and counsel of expe1is in
the areas most likely to impact the future work of the MCSC, and (c) dialogue about
concerns, questions and strategies that might help staff further develop their operating
plans for the future- both long- and short-term. (A copy of the agenda is attached) .

�Results

Data from the retreat proceedings is broken down into three primary areas:
•

What did we ask? This section summarizes the fundamental questions
commissioners asked both during the Retreat and prior.

•

What we heard? This section provides a brief summary ofthe conclusions
drawn during the discussions of September 101h and 11 th.

•

What now? Finally this section provides the responses of staff as to how the
Commissioner recommendations may be incorporated into the day-to-day
operations of the MCSC and can serve to define the goals and objectives of the
MCSC's work both long- and short-term.

What did we ask?

•

What are the forces calling for change?
o Why change what is not broken?
o Why should the MCSC exist if the ConnectMichigan Alliance could do it?
o How will the MCSC survive a transition in Governors and Legislators?
o What federal changes will there be and how will the changes impact the
MCSC- if at all?

•

What if the MCSC were not around?
o Is there a back up plan?
o Is this really a concern given the many partners out there advocating on
our behalf?
o Should we dwell on the worst-case scenario or move on toward making
the most of the potential changes (i.e. exploit the opportunities).

•

What does the MCSC look like in this new era/dynamic?
o How does the MCSC change?
o What will it do that is new?
o What will it no longer do?
o How will changes impact the way the MCSC conducts its business?

•

How can I (commissioner) continue to support what the MCSC will be doing in
the future- both long- and short-term?
o What are the specific tasks for each commissioner?
o How can my (commissioner) skills, relationships, leadership and
organizational affiliations be most helpful?
o What component of the MCSC's work/needs can I (commissioner)
address?

�What did we (staff) hear?

•
•

•

The MCSC has done well with a tremendous amount of growth and steady focus
on overall mission.
Nothing is broken. No radical changes appear necessary, but a refocusing,
refinement and renewal process for the MCSC's activities may be necessary in
light of recent (healthy) developments.
As a vital component of the volunteer service field in Michigan, the MCSC must
further clarify its role as a grant-making organization while creatively utilizing the
partners :
o ConnectMichigan Alliance and affiliates- Michigan Campus Compact
and Volunteer Centers of Michigan
o Michigan Nonprofit Association
o Corporation for National and Community Service
o Council ofMichigan Foundations
o State ofMichigan agencies with volunteer support services
o Michigan Legislature
o Michigan Executive Branch
o Other organizations as the need arises

What now?

With the aforementioned questions in mind, the staff of the MCSC has developed a
general action plan. This plan is grounded in the belief that people make the real
difference in our communities and in the lives of others and that resources and support
are needed to help Michigan citizens serve. The MCSC's role in supporting this belief is
focused on making connections between the public and private sectors through resources
and other forms of support that foster partnerships and that share the lessons learned.
Above all, however, the MCSC will be asking itself, "What have we done to help others
volunteer?"
The Charge
The MCSC will focus on directing, cultivating and analyzing public
resources/support that can support service and volunteerism in Michigan in
effective, efficient and meaningful ways and communicate the lessons learned.
The Strategies
Directing Public Resources/Support (focusing)

•
•

Allocation- effectively and efficiently providing flexible and meaningful
resources to volunteer-oriented organizations.
Collaboration- seeking out organizations to find ways to partner and
maximize existing resources

�•

Coordination- working with existing volunteer-oriented organizations
receiving public funds to effectively focus increasingly precious resources

Cultivating Public Resources/Support (renewing)

•

•

•

Communication- publicly affirming and celebrating the good work that is
supported and made possible through specific, appropriate and limited
government assistance.
Outreach- seeking out individuals and organizations that can benefit from
the types of support that the MCSC, or that other partner organizations can
provide.
Education- informing leaders, policy makers and decision makers about
the work of the MCSC and its grantees to demonstrate and affinn the need
for public sector support for service and volunteerism.

Analyzing Public Resources/Support (refining)

•
•
•

Research- examining where public resources for service and
volunteerism can be most effective and least effective.
Evaluation- taking critical examinations of the MCSC's grant making to
determine what (if any) changes, benefits and lessons can be drawn.
Dissemination- finding ways to share the information and lessons gleaned
from the work of the MCSC with those who most need to know.

MCSC 2001 Commissioner Retreat - "Transition s"
The MCSC and the Michigan volunteer sector will soon be facing a number of changes.
•
The ovember 2002 elections will usher in a new Govemor and a radically changed House of
Representatives and Senate.
•
The Corporation for National Service is coming under new leadership under the Bush
Administ:ration- Les Lenkowski as CEO and Steve Goldsmith as Chair of the Board.
• The ConnectMichigan Alliance has formed as a hub organization for Michigan 's volunteeroriented nonprofit organizations.
How will the MCSC deal with these exciting changes and what opportunities for growth, innovation and
sustainability exist in this new future? Starting to form the answers to these questions, in light of the
strategic planning that has been presented to the members by staff, is our charge for this planning retreat.

Day One - Perspectives on Transitions
2:45p.m.

Russ Mawby will give an overview and introduce our facilitator, Alice Buh1
Views from the Na tional Service Perspective

Over 65% of the MCSC 's funding comes from Corporation for National
Service to support national service programs including AmeriCorps,
Learn &amp; Serve Michigan (service-learning), and Promise Fellows
(working on America's Promise). The Bush Administration has
demonstrated its commitment to national service by ensuring that full
funding for the Corporation for National Service remains part of the
President's Budget as well as entrusting some of the work of his Faith

�Based Initiative with AmeriCorps. What are priorities of this
administration and how will they impact the work of the MCSC?

Over the past 18 months, Michigan has taken on the task of ensuring permanent support
for volunteerism in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance and providing
long-term support through a $20 million endowment fund. Four organizations agreed to
devote their energies to building this support s!Jucture. Now, what does the future look
like in this new reality? What will the MCSC do differently given this new paradigm?

4:00p.m.

Views from the State Political Perspective
Since 1991 , the MCSC has enjoyed the support of the Michigan Legislature and
Executive Branch. Over the past decade, the nonprofit community and the volunteers
that make up the workforce for this sector have been provided resources, attention and
support. These efforts have produced one of the nation 's fust state commissions on
service, the nation' s only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment grant, a host
of national service programs, a premiere volunteer recognition program and a series of
meetings and conferences to discuss how government can do its work better for our
state 's volunteer sector. Finally, through the championing of the work of the MCSC, the
Michigan Legislature has provided its support through codifying legislation and annual
appropriations of $2 million in state funding .

�Day One - Perspectives on Transitions (continued)
Views from the State Political Perspective (continued)
Soon, these supporters will be gone due to term limits. After ovember of 2002, no
member of the Michigan House of Representatives will have been in office when the
MCSC was formed. The Governor and First Lady will not have the name Engler and the
Senate will have only a handful of members returning from the previous body.
How can the MCSC maintain it relationships with key officials and how can it ensure
support from the next Governor and Legislature for Michigan's volunteer sector?

Ballenger from Inside Michigan Politics and William Rustem from Public
Sector Consultants. (30 min. Q &amp; A)

Day Two -Reflections and Commitments
Armed with the opinions and evidence from the experts AND in light of the
strategic plan adopted last year, what are the next steps for the MCSC? How
should it communicate its purpose? Should the MCSC do business differently?
If so, how? If not, why? What should the short (12 months) and long (five
years) goals of this organization be in light of these facts? What can each
commissioner, staff member and friend do to support Michigan's Volunteers
now and into the future?

Words of Wisdom from Bobby Banana
By Krysti Bland and Teresa Paad
Site Supervisor and Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, Alpena County
Site supervisor, Krysti Bland, and Michigan's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, Teresa Paad , were brainstorming about the Nurture Promise
(a helathy start). "We decided to use the Five-a-Day plan. There is a great need for better nutrition in today's youth and there are too
many young couch potatoes out there," said Teresa.
Through the Five-a-Day program, Krysti and Teresa go to local elementary schools where they host mini-assemblies toafterschool
programs sponsored by the 21 51 Century Learning Centers. They explain the importance of eating five servings of fruits and vegetables
every day and what portion servings are. For example, a simple glass of 100 percent juice counts as a serving of fruit. After learning
about these things, making a goal to eat five servings offruits and vegetables every day is much less intimidating.
At the end of the presentation, Teresa hands out coupons sponsored by several local grocers which, when redeemed, allow children to
get a free serving of fruit, such as an apple or a banana. They also receive a certificate of participation from Bobby Banana, found on the
Dole 5-a-Day web site {www.dole5aday.com ).
"We are hoping to instill a lifelong habit of good eating," said Teresa. "It is the least we can do for our kids."

A Healthy Start-Before Birth and Beyond
By Unda Adam, MCSC DisabWty Coordinator
A healthy child starts with a healthy mom. The March of Dimes promotes
maternal and child health through the folic acid campaign, prenatal care
initiatives, and educational programs for professionals and communities.
But even with the best prenatal care, some children will experience
developmental disabilities. One mother described having a child with a
disability as taking a trip and landing in Holland-when you'd dreamed of
and planned for a trip to Italy. Holland is wonderful but your arrival there
requires a significant change of plans. Michigan's EARLY ON program is
designed to help parents of young children (birth to three) adjust to that
change by identifying developmental delays and providing appropriate
resources.
Get more information. • . Visit the March of Dimes website at
www.modimes.org, or read more about arriving in Holland instead of Italy
at iparenting.com/resources/articles/Holland.htm. To learn more about
Michigan's EARLY ON program, call1-800-EARLY ON.

*MICHIGAN'S PROMISE CONFERENCE CALLS*
Every month the MCSC hosts a conference call for individuals involved in the America's Promise effort in Michigan. These calls are held
the fourth Thursday of the month at 9:00a.m. Every other month the target group involved with the call changes. For example, the December 2001
call is for anyone involved with Michigan's Promise in any way - lead and secondary Community of Promise contacts, Community Partners,
steering committee members, youth, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows, site supervisors, etc. The January 2002 call will specifically target the Michigan's
AmeriCorps Promise Fellows and Promise Fellow Site Supervisors. The Promise Fellow/Site Supervisor calls are mandatory. The Link is also sent
out around the same time as the Promise Fellow and Site Supervisor conference calls. This format continues throughout the year. So ... eve!)
Michigan Community of Promise has an opportunity to hear from and connect with the larger group on a monthly basis.
We encourage each and every one of you to participate in these calls. It is a great opportunity to network with others, hear good stories.
learn new approaches, and receive feedback on something with which you may be struggling. Because we know that everyone can't participate in
every call, we will keep the minutes of each call on file here at the MCSC. If you would like to receive a copy of these conference call minutes, pleas&lt;:
email your request to Mary Ann Williams at williamsrn24@state.mi.us no later than 24 hours before the conference call you know you will be unabl&lt;:
to attend. We love for everyone to participate as much as possible, but understand that sometimes there are circumstances that keep you frorr
doing so. We hope that this will help everyone to stay better connected to the group.
