Current Crisis: The Corporation for National Service has told programs to cease enrolling AmeriCorps members effective immediately and for the foreseeable future. The National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 provided that for each AmeriCorps member enrolled an amount equal to an educational award had to be deposited in the National Service Trust. The Corporation has recently determined that there are not sufficient funds in the Trust to cover the enrollment of new members. There are obvious legislative solutions to the crisis: put more money into the Trust or repeal the requirement that a deposit into the Trust must be made for each new member. The Congress is not in session and will not get to the Appropriations bill until the end of January leaving the Corporation in this position for at least the next seven weeks. The Corporation, working with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is exploring non-legislative alternatives but that is, as of yet, no agreement on how to resolve the problem. Implications: As rumors spread that the new Congress will freeze funding for national service programs at the fiscal year 2002 level, this situation will affect Learn and Serve in at least two ways. First, it will require the Congress to appropriate funds for the Trust that it had not anticipated. There is a danger that the Appropriators will fund the Trust at the expense of programs engendering a cut of significant proportions in national service programs. Second, the freeze on recruitment will inevitably upset the future planning of programs and may affect their recruitment of AmeriCorps members who would serve as Service Learning Coordinators. Background: The obvious question is how did this situation arise. One thing is certain: there will be several answers to this as the Corporation struggles to avoid embarrassment and criticism. �Funds in the Trust built up over the years as AmeriCorps members dropped out, chose to defer accessing their education awards or decided not to use them at all. Based on information provided to it by the Corporation that the Trust was "over funded", the Congress periodically chose not to put additional funds in the Trust. In fiscal year 2001, for example, the Congress rescinded some $30 million from the Trust and in fiscal year 2002 it appropriated zero new dollars to the Trust. Simultaneously, it appears that AmeriCorps programs were recruiting members at a furious pace. It now seems as though there were about 60,000 members recruited in 2001 (instead of 50,000) and that programs were on a pace to exceed targets in 2002, as well. How this could happen has not been satisfactorily explained. �AMERICORPS NATiONAL& COMMUNITY SERVICEr:tU: December 2, 2002 Statement from Leslie Lenkowsky, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service Two weeks ago, we instituted a pause in AmeriCorps enrollments as we worked to determine present enrollment figures and the availability of funds in the National Service Trust to support additional members. I thank you for responding to that enrollment pause-and the request to promptly enter new members into WBRS-with such poise and professionalism. Your good efforts have aided our work tremendously. We now have a very good grasp of present enrollment, and I am pleased to report that you have been doing a remarkable job in helping Americans to answer the President's call to service. Right now, there are close to 50,000 Americans of all ages and backgrounds serving in AmeriCorps. We believe that this 2002 program year has been the fastest to fill in the history of the AmeriCorps program. It is a sign of the program's strength, and of the public's growing interest in service. Fifty thousand members, of course, represents our target enrollment for the 2002 program cycle, and is the maximum number of members we can enroll at this time. We do look forward to enrolling more members going forward, but until new funds are available in the National Service Trust to support further enrollments, we will need to continue the pause put in place last month. We are currently working with Members of Congress and the Office of Management and Budget to examine ways to find additional resources for the specific purpose of meeting the total number of AmeriCorps members already authorized through grant awards. Promises made are promises we intend to keep. We will update you regularly on our progress and will contact you at the earliest possible moment when continued enrollment is able to proceed. Again, I thank you for your professionalism and patience as we work to address this challenge, while still working on our shared goal of building a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility and helping Americans to serve their communities and their country. As I said last week, your success in meeting these goals has created new challenges for us, challenges I am now even more confident we will meet. �Statement of Rosie Mauk, Director of AmeriCorps As was true two weeks ago, I know you have a number of individual questions. We felt this call was not the best place to take those questions, but we do want to answer them. So I encourage you to contact your program officer, or even better to email your questions to our special email address, programofficer@cns.gov. Each of your questions will receive an answer within 24 hours. · As Les said, at this point enrollment is suspended until further notice, and we have very little ability to entertain exceptions at this time. In cases of extreme hardship, however, we will be happy to discuss individual circumstances. We will continue to work with you to make sure our records are accurate, and you will receive another addendum to your letter of grant within a day or two laying out the details of this pause. I do wish that we could give you some certainty about when we can resume enrollment, but as Les indicated, we are working hard to find solutions. As we do that, I can only ask for your continued patience and forbearance as we work with the appropriate parties to put the necessary funds in place. And of course, our commitment is to be in regular contact to update you on our progress. Most importantly, I want to thank you for your efforts over the past two weeks in helping us to assess where we stand in terms of present enrollment. Your cooperation and prompt response to our requests have been invaluable. We know these circumstances are unusual, but you have risen to the occasion with the utmost of professionalism. Knowing that we can continue to count on that same professionalism and cooperation in the future, while we pursue ways to resume enrollment, is a tremendous asset as we all work for a better future for AmeriCorps. Thank you-and again, we look forward to answering any questions you may have through our program officers or by email at programofficer@cns.gov. The toll free number to access the playback of our call-which will be available after 6 p.m. today until 4 p.m. Central Standard Time, is 800-810-4033.

J<yle Caldwell- FAQ 212[1].5.022.doc Page 1 Frequently Asked Questions About the Pause in AmeriCorps Enrollments We are receiving many questions from AmeriCorps grantees and programs about the pause in AmeriCorps enrollments. Following are responses to the most frequently asked questions we are hearing. Because we have a diverse audience, the questions are separated based on the type of AmeriCorps program affected. We will update this document periodically as we get additional infonnation and as new questions arise. General 1. Where can I find a written explanation of the pause on enrolling members? The written statements of Chief Executive Officer Leslie Lenkowsky and Director of AmeriCorps Rosie K. Mauk regarding the continued pause in AmeriCorps enrollments are located on our web site at www.americoms.org/resources/enrollment/faq.htm. 2. How long will the pause last? We wish that we could provide you with more certainty about the duration of the pause. We are working with Congress and the Office of Management and Budget to identify steps we can take so we can continue to enroll AmeriCorps members. We will keep you infonned of our progress and will provide additional details as they become available. 3. How will requests for exceptions be addressed? While we indicated that we would consider requests for exceptions in cases of extreme hardship, at this point, we are still reviewing our financial situation and are unable to make any decisions on requests for exceptions. Requests for exceptions should come to the Corporation through state offices, state commissions, and direct grantees of the Corporation by sending an email to programofficer@cns.gov. We will begin responding to requests we have already received by Monday, December 9, 2002. 4. Should programs stop recruiting new members during the enrollment pause? Programs may continue to recruit new members but should clearly communicate to candidates that their enrollment is ultimately dependent on approval from the Corporation to enroll new members and that their start dates may be delayed pending such approval. Programs should also carefully monitor their listing on the web recruitment system for the duration of the pause, making date adjustments as necessary. 5. Will potential applicants still be able to apply through the online AmeriCorps Recruitment System? Yes, potential applicants are able to view program listings and apply to those programs that are currently recruiting. Programs may continue to process, interview, and select applicants Last updated December 5, 2002 I �[' .Kyle Caldwell- FAQ 212[1] .5.022.doc Page during the pause, but individuals cannot be enrolled. We suggest that programs respond to applicants with an initial message such as : "Thank you for your application for AmeriCorps service. Although we are not placing members at this time, we are actively reviewing and processing applications for our programs . We will contact you regarding your application status. Again, thank you for your interest in AmeriCorps and in serving your community and country." Programs should explain to candidates whom they would like to select as AmeriCorps members that their enrollment is ultimately dependent on approval from the Corporation to enroll new members and that their start dates may be delayed pending such approval. 6. May programs bring on potential members as volunteers during the pause? Programs may bring on volunteers at any time, but may not support those volunteers with Corporation funds. Volunteer hours may not be counted retroactively toward a member's term of service once the pause is lifted. 7. May programs hire potential members as temporary staff during the pause? If a program hires a potential member as temporary staff during the pause, it must ensure that he or she does not perfonn the same activities as AmeriCorps members. Corporation funds may not be used to support such temporary staff. AmeriCorps*State and National (including Education Awards Program, AmeriCorps Promise Fellows, Tribes and Territories) NOTE: Local AmeriCorps programs should contact their state commission or parent organization if they have additional questions. Direct grantees of the Corporation may contact their program officer or send an email to programofficer@cns.gov. 8. Will a member who signed a member contract by November 15 but who has not been entered in WBRS still be permitted to serve? If the program has a copy of the member contract, signed by November 15, and the member was not entered in WBRS but was reported to the Corporation by November 22 on an Enrollment Sununary Form, the member may serve. However, if the member was not entered in WBRS and was not reported to the Corporation by November 22, the member may NOT serve unless the Corporation approves an exception to enroll the member. Please see our response to Question 3 above regarding exceptions. 9. Will programs be able to access WBRS during the enrollment pause? Programs will be able to access WBRS to monitor and update existing member records (entered prior to 11/22/02) and to continue to generate and approve progress and financial reports. However, during the continued enrollment pause, programs will NOT be able to perform the following functions in WBRS: Last updated December 5, 2002 21 �j .'<yle Caldwell- FAQ 2 12[1].5.022.doc Page 3 j 1) approve new member information profiles and enrollments 2) approve Change of Status forms 3) submit requests for over-enrollment 4) submit requests for Member Slot Conversions 5) submit requests for Member Slot Corrections In summary, the Member Enrollment and Change of Status fonns, along with the Slot Conversion/Correction request button, will be de-activated during the continued pause on enrollments. 10. Can programs enter new enrollments in WBRS if they have submitted an Enrollment Summary Form reporting the number of members who have signed contracts by November 15th? The Corporation will contact those state commissions, parent organizations, and other grantees that submitted an Enrollment Summary Form to us by the November 22 due date to assist in accessing WBRS to enter these enrollments. If your Enrollment Summary Form was submitted after November 22, this will be handled as an exception (see Question 3). 11. Should programs postpone trainings or orientations being planned for January? This will depend on a number of factors specific to the program, such as the nature of the training and whether the members are already enrolled. Events planned for members who have already been enrolled or for program staff should continue. So, for example, a mid-year training of members who have been serving since September should not be postponed. However, because we cannot predict the duration of the pause at this time, programs should postpone events for members who are not yet enrolled. For instance, a program with a January start date that is planning a member orientation for the third week of January should postpone the event for the time being. If you have specific situations that you would like to discuss, please contact your state commission, parent organization or, if you are a direct grantee of the Corporation, your Corporation program officer. 12. May a program enroll a third-term member during the pause? An individual may receive an education award only for a first and second term. Anyone serving in a third term is ineligible for an education award. Therefore, a third-term member does not require funds from the Trust. If the member is otherwise eligible to serve based on the limits on the number of terms pennitted in particular AmeriCorps programs (see pages 117-119 of the 2002-2003 AmeriCorps Program Director's Handbook), then the program may enroll a third-term member during the pause. To enter such a member into WBRS, send a request to your Corporation program officer or programofficer@cns.gov. 13. May a member serve and receive a living allowance if the member agrees to forego the education award? Last updated December 5, 2002 �1· Kyle Caldwell- FAQ 2 12[1].5.022 .doc Page Unless the member is serving a third term that complies with the maximwn tenns of service described on pages 117-119 of the 2002-2003 AmeriCorps Program Director's Handbook, a program may not use grant funds to support an individual who has not enrolled in an approved national service position. An approved national service position is one for which the member is eligible to receive an education award upon completion of service. While you may allow an individual to volunteer with your program, he or she would not be considered a member and would not accrue service hours toward a term of service during the pause. 14. If a currently enrolled member leaves a program without receiving an education award, may the program refill that position during the pause? Unless the new member is serving in a third term as described in Question 12 above, programs may not replace a member who leaves without an education award during the pause. Our forecast of funds required in the Trust anticipates a certain level of attrition, so replacing members is not possible until the enrollment pause is lifted. 15. May programs request slot corrections, conversions, or approval to overenrollmembers during the pause? No. The Corporation will not be approving requests for slot conections, conversions, or overenrollment. Also, programs may not make slot conversions that were previously permitted without Corporation approval (i.e., conversions of unfilled positions that did not exceed the greater of20% of the full-time equivalent [FTE] positions in the awarded to the program or a total 10 FTEs). 16. What should a program do if it cannot accomplish its program objectives because of the pause? If a program detennines that the enrollment pause will have a significant impact on its ability to accomplish its approved program objectives, the program should contact its state corrunission, parent organization or, if it is a direct grantee of the Corporation, its Corporation program officer to discuss modifying the objectives as provided in clause 15 of the 2002 AmeriCorps grant provisions. 17. Because the Corporation considers a program's enrollment rate in making future funding decisions, will the effects of the pause be taken into consideration? We understand that the timing and duration of the pause may significantly impact a program's ability to enroll members this program year. When a program submits its application for funding in 2003, it should explain how the pause affected its ability to enroll members, and the Corporation will take this infonnation into consideration during the review process. 18. In preparation for the 2003 grant cycle, we are already reaching out to new program applicants and beginning our grant processes. Should we continue to do so in light of the continued pause on enrollments for 2002? Last updated December 5, 2002 41 �I Kyle Caldwell- FAQ 2 12[1].5.022.doc Page Yes. The pause on enrollments relates to the funding available in the National Service Trust for education awards. You may continue your outreach and grant processes for 2003-04 as planned. 19. Will the Corporation issue grants to programs that have received notification of approval but have not yet received award letters? We have reviewed current enrollments and available funds in the Trust. Based on that review, we have determined that until the Trust receives more funds, the Corporation may not issue any new grant awards. 20. Will a program's operating and administrative grant funds be affected by the continued pause in enrollments? The Corporation will not take any inunediate actions to reduce a program's operating or administrative grant funds. However, if the enrollment pause is prolonged, we will need toreexamine the extent of the pause's impact on enrollment for individual programs and adjust program grant funds if necessary. 21. If a program begins operating before receiving its grant award from the Corporation, will the Corporation approve pre-award costs? Any costs incurred by a program prior to receiving a grant award letter from the Corporation are incurred solely at the program's risk. The Corporation cannot ensure that pre-award costs will be pennitted if the award is eventually issued. We strongly discourage programs from incurring such costs in anticipation of receiving an award. 22. Will programs be able to receive an extension to their grant award if they have to postpone enrolling members? Consistent with established procedures, programs may receive a no-cost extension in the third and final year of the grant in order to cover costs related to members completing their terms of service. 23. Ifprograms lose matching dollars during the pause, can the match requirements be waived? Requests for a waiver of match will be considered by the Corporation on a case-by-case basis according to statutory requirements. State commissions and direct Corporation grantees should send these requests to their Corporation grants officer.

During the past nine years this annual event has grown into Michigan's premiere volunteer recognition event. Awards were given out in ten categories the first year and in 2002 awards were given in 14 categories. These categories represent the diverse nature of volunteer service in our state. Awards have been given to adults, youth, seniors, nonprofit organizations, educators, businesses, and national service programs. Each year a reception and dinner was held to honor the awardees. The first dinner in 1994 had approximately 100 attendees and the Ninth Annual Governor's Service Awards in 2002 had nearly 800 participants. For the past 6 years, GSA has been held in conjunction with Michigan's largest conference for nonprofit organizations- the Volunteerism SuperConference or Grantmakers/Grantseekers, which are held in alternate years. Each year, between 200 and 300 GSA nominations were received. Teams of volunteer peer reviewers worked to identify an award recipient and four additional finalists in each category. The winners were announced "Academy Awards-Style" at the GSA dinner. Since its inception, Ameritech has sponsored the Governor's Service Awards. Most recently . their contribution was $15,000. Blue Cross Blue Shield ofMichigan has also sponsored GSA. Their annual contribution has been as high as $2,500, but more recently remained at $1,000. Recommendations for 2003 With the desire to provide ongoing volunteer recognition coupled with current budget constraints, we are recommending a change in the format of the Governor's Service Awards. We propose that an individual, organization, or business be awarded a GSA monthly. This would result in volunteer recognition staying in the forefront of people's minds year round and address the budget concerns we are beginning to have around this event. The direct cost ofhosting GSA is approximately $35,000 annually. As noted above, last year Ameritech's sponsorship was $15,000 and Blue Cross Blue Shield ofMichigan's was $1,000. The MCSC budget (the State of Michigan's General Fund) covers the remaining GSA expenses. Unfortunately, Ameritech has indicated that they will most likely be unable to sponsor the 2003 event. This, coupled with the State ofMichigan budget situation, leaves us with budgetary concerns for hosting the GSA in 2003 in its current format. �How the new format would work The Nomination Process - Nominations forms would be available to the general public via mail as they have in the past. In addition, the nomination form would be available on the MCSC web site. Colleagues, family, and friends would nominate individuals and organizations as they have in the past. The MCSC Commissioners would also identify individuals and organizations that demonstrate high quality volunteer service and solicit nominations. There would not be different categories, but the peer reviewers (see decision-making process below) would ensure that a diverse group of award recipients were identified throughout the year. The Governor George Romney Lifetime Achievement Award would continue to honor an individual for their lifelong service. This award would be given at the Grantrnakers/ Grantseekers conference or Volunteerism SuperConference. The Russell G. Mawby Award, presented by the Council of Michigan Foundations and Michigan Nonprofit Association, would also be presented at that time. The Decision-Making Process - As in the past, a volunteer peer review panel would review and rank the nominations and select the winners. The Award Presentations- The new process would be unveiled and the first award given at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Conference in May 2003. Then one award recipient would be announced each month for the remainder of the year. A proclamation from the Governor and a plaque/award would be presented locally. A media release would be distributed. Ideally, the Governor and MCSC Commissioners from the geographic area of the winner would make the presentation at a "press conference" or at a local event such as a Rotary luncheon, school board meeting, etc. An article on the recipient would be posted on the MCSC web site. Engaging Governor-Elect Granholm As volunteer service and recognition becomes a focus for the Granholm administration, the new format has several advantages. • It provides ongoing positive media coverage for the Governor beginning in May 2003 . • It provides ample time for the new administration to become familiar with the Governor' s Service Awards. • It provides opportunities for MCSC Commissioners and staff to receive input regarding the Governor's expectations around volunteer recognition. • It is cost effective. • It provides an opportunity for an event similar to previous GSA ceremonies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan's AmeriCorps AmeriCorps programs are similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Community organizations host a minimum of 10 individuals, called members, to implement programs that strengthen our communities. Members are ages 17 and older and commit at least one year to AmeriCorps. In return for this year of service, members receive a modest living stipend and an education award. They can serve in a full- or part-time capacity. • The MCSC currently provides $6.3 million in funding to 24 AmeriCorps programs in Michigan. • There are 684 members serving in Michigan's AmeriCorps programs this year. • Last year, each full-time AmeriCorps member funded by the MCSC recruited an average of 41 volunteers. Learn and Serve- Michigan Service-learning is a way of teaching that connect learning with meaningful service to the community. Learn and Serve- Michigan is a grant program that supports service-learning in schools and nonprofit organizations. Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the community. • The MCSC currently provides $725,000 to 36 school-based programs and $160,000 to 11 community-based programs. • The school-based programs are focused on having service-learning become a districtwide teaching method. As a result, service-learning would be integrated into a school's core curriculum. t year, Learn and Serve- Michigan programs involved more than 33,000 youth and ! achers in service-learning activities. �Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG) fund volunteer resource centers throughout our state. VIG enables volunteer resource centers to build endowment funds to support local volunteer activities. • The MCSC currently provides $860,000 to 17 volunteer resource centers. Grants range from $25,000 to $100,000 a year. • VIG funds require a $1 to $1 match. Since its inception in 1998, VIG has leveraged $1 in local resources. • These 17 centers serve iXXJ ofMichigan's 83 counties. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As you may know, the MCSC is the state's lead agency for AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve School- and Community-based funding . Our charge is also broader to include supporting national service programs generally. Most recently we have worked with Senior Corps programs to determine how we might best support our mutual goals through our state unified plan and our training and technical assistance calendar. The members of the MCSC recently discussed the Senior Corps programs with Mary Pfeiler and Meg Smith at the MCSC annual retreat and asked that the staff reach out to other Senior Corps program to present at our next meeting--December 16, 2002 at noon at the MCSC offices (1 048 Pierpont Suite #4, Lansing). In conversations with Meg and Mary, we determined that you may have the greatest insights on Senior Corps and would provide a quality presentation. I would like to talk with you in more detail about this opportunity and have asked Mary Pfeiler to join in on a conference call to work out the logistics including subject, materials and logistics. If you are willing and interested, may I propose that we convene, via conference call, on Monday, December 2nd at 12:00? Please reply via email as soon as possible and I will forward you the conference call number and code. I hope that you can join us and share information on your programs and Senior Corps generally.

The recommendations are based on identifying those project directors whose programs exemplify the broad and flexible nature of the various Senior Corps resources in their communities and whose vision and imagination take their programs way beyond the basics . I selected Rose and Tami based on their broad experience with many of the national service programs and initiatives and because they can talk the lingo of VIG, America's Promise, AmeriCorps* and Volunteer Center, etc. Essie I recommend because of her initiative and responsiveness to a wide range of community issues and organizations and both she and Tami can speak authoritatively on local homeland security activities. All three together will make a strong statement. I suggested the parameters of the topic and pointed out ways in which their programs and their own professional attitudes make them qualified for this task. I suggested that 5-7 minutes each or probably a total of 15-20 minutes would be the max and I recommended that AV and handouts be avoided in favor of eye contact and substantive examples. I also suggested that you and/or I could outline some "talking points" for the presentation as a whole and I suggest to at least two of them that they might get together by phone to align themselves for the best presentation. These three are all available on December 16 and are interested in communicating this sort of broad and visionary message . Here is the contact info for each.

First, staff recommend that the members of the MCSC empower the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC ' s grant application submissions to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) with the consent of the full commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Since its inception in 1993, the CNCS has been unable to provide a consistent calendar of funding approval dates for its funding. This is due in part to the actions and inactions of the United States Congress in appropriating funding as well as the changes in priorities and regulations imposed by the CNCS. Since the MCSC now schedules its meeting three years in advance, staff are continuously working to change its outreach, application, and outreach processes to align the decision-making process with the MCSC meetings . Empowering the Executive Committee to approve staff recommendations for CNCS funding will provide greater flexibility and allow the MCSC staff to be more proactive in its grant-making processes. Second, staff request that the MCSC approve staff recommendations for criteria to determine acceptance or denial of AmeriCorps Sustainability Policy Appeals: 1. A proven record of success as a Michigan ' s AmeriCorps program. 2. A valid demonstration of efforts to create and implement viable fundraising and partnership building strategies. 3. A clear explanation oflocal challenges that have hampered sustainability strategies. 4. Other extenuating circumstances that have impeded the organization' s efforts to meet the increased match requirements. Finally, the staff request that the MCSC empower the MCSC staff to approve or deny any Michigan' s AmeriCorps program' s request to over-enroll members. While over-enrollment is allowed by the CNCS, staff feel that it is important that this privilege be granted on a case by case basis and not be automatic. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. Programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout our state. Each program sets its own goals to help meet local needs. • The AmeriCorps members are building houses, mentoring children, teaching conflict resolution, recruiting volunteers, and more. • The 24 programs are engaging 684 members in a variety of activities focusing on the environment, education, public safety, and human needs. • Last year, each full-time Michigan's AmeriCorps member recruited an average of 41 volunteers to help strengthen his or her community. AmeriCorps funding is available for organizations in your community. Funding is usually granted in three-year cycles with renewal funding based upon successful completion of annual goals. Michigan's AmeriCorps grants traditionally average $250,000 each and require match funds. The next funding cycle for Michigan's AmeriCorps programs will take place in Fall2003 with availability of the Request for Proposal (RFP) tentatively scheduled for October 2003. The RFP will be available online for downloading and printing. Applicants must submit hard copies of proposals. Do you know a potential AmeriCorps member? AmeriCorps members are dedicated individuals at least 17 years of age who want to make a difference in their community. Potential members can find out more about AmeriCorps by visiting www.americorps.org. They can find the Michigan programs by clicking on "AmeriCorps in Your State" and selecting Michigan, or calling 800.942.2677. �2002-2003 Michigan's AmeriCorps • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • •• •• • • • •• •• • MISSNJKEE LAKE AU..EGAN OSCEOlA CLARE MECOSTA ISABEllA GLADW1N MCJNTC.IJ.M GRATlOT IONIA CUNTON BARR'f EAlON CAUiOUN CASS OGEMAW ST. JOSEPH BRANCH INGHAM JACKSON WASHTENAW lENAWEE �MICHIGAN COMMUHI1Y SERVICE COMMISSION AMERICORPS RAMP PROJECT ACCOMPLISHES WHAT OTHERS COULDN'T When Kevin Mullins lost his leg and his job, he and his family were heartbroken. Kevin was hospitalized with a serious infection that culminated in the amputation of his leg. Thus began a nightmare of skyrocketing hospitalization costs, as the hospital would not allow Kevin to come home until an access ramp was installed. A ramp, which costs $5,000- $7,000 when built by a private contractor, was out of reach for the Mullins. Kevin began preparation to move to a nursing home. Kevin's wife, Colleen, contacted more than 50 agencies looking for help. Finally, she connected with the Community Builders Corps, an AmeriCorps program that builds ramps for individuals for the cost of materials-·approximately $1,500. As the Mullins were already financially strapped, even this amount was too much. Kevin Mullins arrives home, thanks to the Community Builders Corps. The AmeriCorps members would not give up on Kevin. They asked local lumberyards for help. Brooks Lumber in Detroit offered the materials at their cost ($1 ,200), but the Mullins still could not pay that amount. They were discussing the situation in Kevin's hospital room one night when the patient in the next bed overheard their conversation. The patient called his son. The next day the son came to visit Kevin and offered to pay for the materials to build the ramp. Four days later, the ramp was completed and Kevin Mullins went home. Young Detroit Builders recently received a $176,419 grant from the Michigan Community Service Commission to continue the Community Builders Corps program in 2002-2003. This program enrolls 14 full-time AmeriCorps members to: • • • • Build at least 30 wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals Make adaptation improvements to the home of 40 low-income seniors or disabled persons Provide outdoor services (clean windows and gutters, rake leaves, pick up trash, etc.) for approximately 50 low-income, disabled individuals Respond to at least 30 requests from the Community Policing Office (see below) Community Builders Corps' newest partner is the Detroit's 4th Precinct Community Policing Office. This project helps people whose homes have been burglarized. Break-ins often result in a broken doorjamb or shattered windows, leaving the victims feeling vulnerable to another attack. AmeriCorps members are now on call to make repairs so families can remain in their homes with an increased sense of security. �- M I CHI G I< N COMMIJHI1Y SERVICE AMERICORPS MEMBERS BmLD HOPE By Joshua Brugger COMMISSION As an AmeriCorps member, I learned valuable lessons about the importance of hope. I came to believe that every day it was my job to help people find hope-to coax it, to prod it, to bring it out of its hiding place and into the light. This past year, I was an AmeriCorps member with Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity in Holland. Working alongside many volunteers, I helped build a dozen simple and decent homes. These new homes brought hope to families. Sometimes the days were long and difficult. I spent days of 11, 12, and 13 hours painting and roofing in the hot summer sun. I also dug water line trenches through frozen earth in December to meet a New Year's Day deadline. One of my favorite memories of my AmeriCorps year was a project I did with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. I taught a woodworking class to teenagers. Classes included lessons in safety, learning about tools and materials, and the opportunity to build something. Something like a toolbox, bird house, or bug habitat. Joshua ·Brugger Now on one particular day, I thought that I'd really wow the kids. So, what did I do? I brought power tools with me! After receiving permission from the Boys and Girls Club, I came to class ready with a drill, a circular saw, and a 2x 10 board that was 6 feet long. This was going to be a great class! I had several students help me carry in all of the equipment. As they did, they paraded the power tools in front of their friends-eager to show that they were special because they got to carry the drill or the saw. Class began. Kids were lined up outside the door, peering through the windows, climbing over each other so they could see. Every seat was filled. Excitement was in the air. It was like being on the set of Tool Time. I laid that 2x10 out on the table. Donned my safety glasses. Measured and strategically marked off the spot I would cut. As a trained member of Habitat for Humanity, I do know that a 7 o/4" titanium tipped plywood blade is terrific for cutting plywood or siding. But I don't know why I didn't remember that it doesn't work so well when cutting through a piece of#2 pine. After the smoke cleared, the kids and I all had a great laugh! I'll never forget that day. And I'll never forget the day four months later, when those same kids built a ramp for a 7-year-old boy with spina bifida. They learned a lesson about hope that day because they gave hope and happiness to that young boy and his family. So now I encourage everyone to plant hope. Hope makes change happen. It may not happen overnight. It may take years to grow. I believe the hope I planted during my year as an AmeriCorps member is still making a difference in the lives of the people in Holland today. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY MICHIGAN'S AMERICORPS ROSTER SERVICE C OMMIS S ION AmeriCorps Homeless Program $125,961 Tiffany Fields, Program Director Wayne Metro Community Services Agency 3715 West Jefferson Ecorse, Michigan 48229 Phone: 313.843.2550 x 229 Fax: 313.841.7540 Email: tfields@waynemetro.org The AmeriCorps Homeless Program involves ten full-time members with four homeless service agencies to provide or enhance homeless services in Out-Wayne County.

Through service-learning, young people take what they learn and put it into action in the community. Service-learning is a way of teaching that connects learning with meaningful service to the community. A recent study ofMichigan schools shows that 39 percent of public schools participate in service-learning, while 88 percent participate in general community service projects. Learn and Serve- Michigan is a grant program that supports schools and community organizations in providing service-learning opportunities during and after school. There are two types of Learn and Serve -Michigan grants: • • School-Based programs have their roots in the classroom. Teachers tie service-learning projects into the regular curriculum. These grants are given to k-12 schools. Community-Based programs are led by local nonprofit organizations. These organizations incorporate learning opportunities into service projects that take place during non-school hours. Nonprofit organizations are the recipients of these grants. Service-learning has been shown to: • • • Increase motivation to learn, Lower drop out rates, and Build critical thinking and problem solving skills. Learn and Serve- Michigan currently provides $725,000 to 36 school-based programs and $160,000 to 11 community-based programs. Last year, these programs involved more than 33,000 students in service-learning activities throughout Michigan. �2002-2003 Learn and Serve - Michigan IRON • DICKINSON • WEXFORD LAKE OSCEOlA ALLEGAN CASS MISSAUKEE OGEMAW ClARE GLADWIN • • • •• • •• • • • • BARRY ST. JOSEPH BRANCH Hll..l..SIW..E l.ENAWEE �MICHIGAN COMMUNilY SERVICE STUDENTS MOUNT CAMPAIGN AGAINST SECONDHAND SMOKE COMMISSION Students at ACE High School are concerned ... for themselves, their friends, and their families. Tobacco use is the single leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Although cigarette smoking nationwide among high school students is declining, approximately 80% of tobacco users begin smoking before the age of 18. If this trend continues, approximately 5 million children living today will die prematurely because they began to smoke cigarettes during adolescence. What really got the attention of the ACE High School students were the effects of secondhand smoke. Research has shown that smoke from the smokers around them causes disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers. Although they may make the decision not to smoke, they could still be at risk. Rather than sit around and complain, they decided to do something. Led by juniors Shaun Bryan and Nicole Mangan, and senior Amanda Bjorkman, the students developed and produced media materials educating Iron County citizens on the problems of secondhand smoke. You Have a Choice, They Don'tEffects ofSecond Hand Smoke was developed as part of an academic servicelearning project for their Communication You Have The Choice, They Don't was the message of the Arts class. The media campaign included a ACE High School media campaign in Iron County. billboard, exhibit boards, radio spots, and place mats for local restaurants. Students chose the topic of second hand smoke. They did research to determine the best media outlets to use in their community. They wrote the message and formulated the layouts. They evaluated their project when it was completed. Not only did the students learn about secondhand smoke and how to put together a media campaign-they were rewarded for their efforts. The Michigan Cancer Consortium awarded ACE the Spirit of Cooperation Award for their outstanding work in the Upper Peninsula. ACE High School is part of the West Iron County Public Schools. Their project is one of36 school-based programs that receive funding through a Michigan Community Service Commission Learn and Serve - Michigan grant. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE VETERANS ARE TOUCHED BY CHILDREN'S INTEREST COMMISSION "The Veterans' Reception was a great way to bring two vastly separated generations together," said Ron DeWaard. "It makes up for so many times when older people and younger people purposely avoid each other because they think they have no common ground." Vietnam Veteran Ron DeWaard and his wife Linda, along with more than 100 other veterans and their wives recently attended the first annual Veterans' Reception hosted by members of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland (BGCH). The reception, honoring veterans for service to our country, included a tour of the Boys and Girls Club, a dinner, and a program of speeches by both youth and veterans. Ron and Linda were touched by the expression of kindness on the part of the 85 Holland youth involved. The reception was the culmination of a year of correspondence between club members and veterans. Letters, holiday cards, valentines, and photographs were exchanged. A club member from the 5th grade had the greatest response from her veteran. After her first letter, she received a large package. It contained an extensive letter in which the veteran answered all her questions and included a book and pictures of the ship that he served on while in the Navy. In addition to giving students a window into the lives of veterans, the year-long project gave them opportunities to practice letter-writing and computer skills. The program was not directly designed to bring homeland security into the lives of the youth and the community. An exciting, but unexpected outcome was the level of awareness gained by the youth about what it means to serve your country and be part of a nation and community. Equally exciting was how touched the Veterans were by the interest of the children. "Acts of kindness are always rewarded," shared Army veteran, Bruce Glass. A lifetime member of VFW Post 2144 and former member of the 352nd Communication Reconnaissance Company, Mr. Glass served in the Korean War. He told the club members, "Your kindness toward old soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen will not be forgotten. We salute you." Students in this program also • Planned with community leaders and decorated the parade route for the Veterans' Day and Memorial Day parades • Cleaned up and prepared equipment for storage after parades • Researched the wars which veterans corresponded about This service-learning project is part of the Learn and Serve- Michigan program at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Holland. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently approved a $15,000 grant so this service-learning program can continue throughout the 2002-2003-program year. The BGCH service-learning program will engage at least 175 students in the upcoming year. The BGCH practice of service-learning is expanding throughout their youth serving programs. �MICHIGAN COMMUNI1Y SERVICE YOUNG VOLUNTEER REACHES OUT TO SENIORS COMMISSION "A knock on the door and a man saying 'Follow me,' and the next thing I knew we were being evacuated," said Joyce Mallory, a resident of Courthouse Square Apartments in Ann Arbor. On a hot July evening, seventy residents got a helping hand from the American Red Cross, when a fire in the elevator shaft forced them to evacuate their apartments. Coordinating with the University of Michigan, Red Cross staff and volunteers arranged for residents of the downtown assisted Insert photo living facility to be bussed to temporary housing at a local hotel. Complications in repairing the problem at Courthouse Square turned the one-night stay into four nights. The residents were concerned about their apartments, pets needed care, and many seniors needed to replenish medications left behind in their hasty exit. Working with the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority and other community agencies, the Red Cross team turned a potentially traumatic few days into "an adventure," as resident Elizabeth Galvan called it. Daily shuttles were Red Cross volunteers assist seniors during their crisis. scheduled for residents, meals were served, and medical assistance provided. Happy to be on her way back home after the crisis, Joyce said she thought the Red Cross volunteers were wonderful. "Without the Red Cross, we'd have been lost," she said. One of the volunteers who helped with the evacuation and sheltering was 17-year-old Deondre Richmond. Deondre became a volunteer through the Red Cross Youth Community Action Team (YCAT). He had only recently completed his orientation when he was called into action. Working alongside experienced team members, Deondre provided information, food, and a listening ear to the seniors. During the five days ofthe crisis, he volunteered a total of 59 hours. He combined his training with common sense and youthful energy to do anything he could. Although public recognition is not important to him, Deondre received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Red Cross Emergency Services Department. YCAT engages 80 youth between the ages of 12 and 17 in a variety of community service activities that are mainly focused on peer education. Youth volunteers first complete First Aid and CPR training. Then they choose an interest area such as Community Disaster, Water Safety, or Pet First Aid for their next level of training. The young people utilize their training to assist their peers and to volunteer for Red Cross projects throughout the community. The Michigan Community Service Commission recently awarded the Red Cross a $15,000 Learn and Serve- Michigan communitybased grant for the YCAT program. �MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Learn and Serve - Michigan School-Based Programs �MICHIGAN LEARN AND SERVE- MICHIGAN SCHOOL-BASED COMMUNITY ROSTER SERVICE COMMIS S ION Bedford Public Schools Implementation Grant- $19,067 Sharon Throm Community Education Department 1623 West Sterns Road Temperance, Michigan 48182 Phone: 734.850.6034 Fax: 734.850.6099 Email: throms@bedford.k12.mi.us Bedford Public Schools is working to develop a comprehensive, district-wide service-learning program.

The committee worked hard with Mary Grill and developed the Marketing Plan, which is a working document. 2. Adoption ofMission and Vision Statements Commissioner Pruitt explained that during the development of the Marketing Plan many new ideas were discussed about the future of the MCSC and its roles for the future. Commissioner Pruitt explained the new vision and what the MCSC would like it to look like in the future.

The decision whether or not to hold the Governor's Service Awards has been deferred to the MCSC Commissioners. Commissioner Pruitt explained that there has been a great deal of discussion by staff regarding this event on whether to hold the event this year or to postpone the event for one year and asked commissioners for their input and comments on this event. The recommendation from the staff is to postpone for one year and would want commissioner approval. Ms. Faye Stone from North Carolina State Commission stated that their commission went through the same dilemma and decided to still hold the Governor's Service Awards but after the event had wished that they had postponed the event. Commissioners Collier, Smith, Macon, Brennan and Kwak all expressed their opinion to not postpone the Governor's Service Awards but to educate the candidates for Governor so that they would consider continuing this event.

Welcome and Introduction - Chairperson Mawby The meeting was called to order at 12:33 p.m. by Chairperson Mawby.

Motion passed unanimously. 3. Staff recommendations granting additional powers to the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC's grant application submissions to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) with the consent of the full commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. (approval item) Chairperson Mawby and Kyle Caldwell explained the current situation with the Corporation and National and Community Service (CNCS). The MCSC is "currently in limbo", CNCS has not had their budget approved by Congress and as a results not currently in a position to make any allocations. The MCSC Michigan's AmeriCorps application would be due to the CNCS before the MCSC regularly scheduled meeting date and therefore would need approval before submission, at short notice. The staff would like the Executive Committee to have the power to approve these submissions with the approval of the full Commission at a later date. The staff would like to make this a standing policy instead of an ad hoc policy as it has been in the past. Commissioner O'Day moved to approve the recommendations for the Executive Committee to approve the MCSC's grant application submissions. Commissioner West seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Staff request that the MCSC approve staff recommendations for criteria to determine acceptance or denial of AmeriCorps Sustainability Policy Appeals. (approval item) Kyle Caldwell explained the recommendation for approval of the criteria for AmeriCorps sustainability. AmeriCorps grants are approved on a three-year funding cycle. They are renewed based upon successful completion of their goals and objectives and meeting the reporting criteria. After three years they have to re-compete for funding. In the past, the grantee could keep re-competing every cycle without a cap - no reduction of the MCSC support, thus the grantee has not become self-sufficient and the MCSC is unable to support new programs. Staff proposed that over nine years the MCSC would gradually reduce the amount of federal funds so that eventually the program would only be funded for the member support costs, being the stipend and the education award. This policy would also include an appeal statement for grantees that cannot leverage the necessary funds for their administrative costs. Appeals will be decided upon case by case. Commission O'Day asked if the policy would be retroactive. Kyle Caldwell explained that the grantees have been made aware of this expectation and that this just gives staff a way of managing appeals - the 3 �grantee would like to continue the program, but they are unable to come up with all of the necessary funds. Commissioner Makki asked if the decisions would be approved by the Commission. Kyle Caldwell then explained that you are only giving the staff the criteria under which we would make a recommendation to the board not the power to approve. Commissioner Kwak asked how the staff came up with the nine-year mark. Kyle Caldwell explained that a group of former grantees and other experts from the field came together and discussed with staff this policy and this is what they recommended. Commissioner Newport asked two questions: One, how much of our dollars are committed to renewal versus new andre-competes and second how much of the grant is spent on administration/overhead? Kyle Caldwell and Paula Kaiser explained that they could not give Commissioner Newport an exact figure, but due to a glitch at the CNCS all of our current MCSC Michigan's AmeriCorps grantees are recompeting this year and that not more than 20-25% of the money is spent on administration of the program. Commissioner Makki moved to approve the recommendations for the criteria to determine acceptance or denial of AmeriCorps Sustainability Policy Appeals. Commissioner Newport seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Recommendation to empower staff to approve or deny any Michigan's AmeriCorps program's request to over-enroll members. (approval item) Kyle Caldwell explained that some of the AmeriCorps programs, after years of experience, know that they have "x" amount of members stipended and, on average, "y" amount of members drop out every year. The grantee would like the opportunity to over enroll the "y'' amount of members so that they will, in theory, end up with all of their stipended members. So far, the policy has been allowed by the CNCS. The MCSC staff request that the MCSC empower the staff to approve or deny any Michigan's AmeriCorps program's request to over-enroll members. The staff feel that it is important that this privilege be granted on a case by base basis and not be automatic. Commissioner Macon wanted to know when the commission would know that the grantee has overenrolled and also how would the grantee find out about this process. Kyle Caldwell and Paula Kaiser explained that the way the commission would find out if the grantee overenrolled would be through the Web Based Reporting System (WBRS) and the grantees would receive a Michigan's AmeriCorps Policies and Procedures guide letting them know of that policy and the steps they would need to take to obtain permission to over enroll members. 4 �Commissioner W esaw moved to approve the recommendations to empower staff to approve or deny any Michigan's AmeriCorps program 's request to over-enroll members. Commissioner Swain seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved. Motion passed unanimously. C. Outreach and Communications Committee- Chairperson Mawby 1. Recommendations for Governor' s Service Awards Program Commissioner O'Day discussed the recommendation for the Governor' s Service Awards (GSA) Program. She mentioned that this new process would be implemented for transition purposes. We would recognize a GSA volunteer once a month. Commissioner Macon stated that she has some concerns with the process. Please consider one to three specific categories a month that would allow an entire sector of volunteerism to focus their energy on those topics. Commissioner Macon would like to see a finalist component too. Perhaps have one deadline or have two to three deadlines through out the year. Commissioner Oden mentioned that it looked like one of the Governor' s Service Awards program issues is funding. She asked if we looked at other avenues for funding? If so, would we like to go to the original program model? Chairperson Mawby answered that question by mentioning that one of the major components of the Governor's Service Awards is the Governor and First Spouse' s participation. We are hoping that the new Governor will embrace this program. If that is the case then we would be able to go back to the original program model. Commissioner Pickard mentioned that if we do indeed go back to the original format and need funding, GM may be interested in offering support. There was some discussion between Commissioner Wesaw, Commissioner Swain, and Kyle Caldwell about postponing the awards program to this fall. This would give the new Governor some time to embrace the program. Commissioner Smith moved to approve the recommendations for the transitional Governor's Service Awards process. Commissioner Macon seconded the motion and the recommendations were approved for a transitional period only. Motion passed unanimously. 2. Commissioner Communication Tools 5 �Mary Grill walked through the Key Information Binder which contains information such as: funding information on each program, program talking points, program locations, Commissioner and staff information, etc. D.

After juggling work, family, friends, and hobbies, finding a cause or organization to volunteer with can be difficult. To address this need, communities have been creating local collaborations to help volunteers find their perfect fit. These collaborations and organizations are often called "volunteer resource centers." Volunteer resource centers work closely with the organizations in their communities to recruit, train, place, manage, and recognize volunteers. These services require resources and support. The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) recognizes the value of helping communities support volunteers. Annually, approximately $860,000 of state funding is provided to local volunteer resource centers and other volunteer collaborations through Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). These competitive awards range from $25,000 to $100,000 each year. The funds are used to create local endowments that support volunteer resource centers and related activities. A $1 to $1 match is required. Currently, the MCSC provides $860'000 in VIG funds to 17 volunteer resource centers that provide services in 25 counties. �2002 Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants OSCODA • WEXFORD OGEMAW LAKE OSCEOLA CLARE GLADWIN NEWAYGO MECOSTA ISABEUA MIDLAND • MONTCALM GRATlOT IONIA CUNTON • • • A VIG funded volunteer resource center serves this county • A VIG funded volunteer resource center is located in this county MISSAUKEE ALLEGAN BARRY • EATON • OAKLAND INGHAM UVINGSTON • • • • • • • CALHOUN CASS ST.

How old are they? What business was originally in them? lfbuildings could talk, the stories they could tell! Meet Elsie McNiel of Greenville, who has been volunteering at the Flat River Historical Museum for more than 30 years. Elsie has a phenomenal mind full of historical information concerning the early homes, businesses, and organizations in the Greenville area. She keeps track of businesses and organizations that are coming and going, all without any compensation and certainly without any fanfare. She has volunteered over 23,400 hours. That equals 2,925 eight-hour days, or better than 11 years of full-time work! Insert Elsie's Photo Elsie became interested in the museum after moving from Detroit to Greenville in 1968. The museum was within walking distance from the home she lived in with her husband and two children. She joined the Greenville Historical Society that same year and began volunteering at the Museum when it opened in 1972. "Elsie has been our true north, our compass at the museum," said Linda Collins, Museum president. ''I wish every communi had a volunteer just like her." Elsie maintains a low profile-quiet, attentive, and soft-spoken. If she doesn't have the answer to a question she is asked, she will find it for you. Her dedication and perseverance for the history of Greenville are her gifts to the community. When asked why she enjoys volunteering, she smiled and said, "It's a sense of accomplishment. As a volunteer you are doing something for somebody else besides yourself. And it's better than watching television." Elsie is one of many volunteers at the Flat River Historical Museum, an organization that relies heavily on volunteers to meet its mission. Many of the volunteers find their way to the Museum through Volunteer Connections ofMontcalm County. This volunteer resource center annually places approximately 330 volunteers in more than 30 organizations throughout Montcalm County. Their services go beyond recruitment and placement of volunteers. They also help train, manage, and recognize volunteers-all critical elements of successful volunteer programs. Volunteer Connections of Montcalm County recently received a $35,000 Volunteer Investment Grant (VIG) from the Michigan Community Service Commission. There are 17 volunteer resource centers throughout Michigan, similar to Volunteer Connections that receive VIG funding. �MICHIGAN AJICHIGAN:~ VOLUNTEER • COMMUNitY SERVICE INVESf!tfENT VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANTS ROSTER GRANTS COMMISSION The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) offers $1 million annually for Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG).

Michigan's VIG's range from $25,000 to $100,000 and are awarded to partnerships that support community-wide volunteerism and community service.

Focus since our last meeting has been on developing communication tools (such as the program profiles you have been receiving via email and the key information binder distributed at today' s meeting), media training for grantees, and communications training for staff. The contract with Rx Coaching has expired. As we are well into the plan implementation, we do have plans to renew the contract at this time. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pfeiler, CNCS Michigan RE: New Interest in Senior Corps at the Michigan Community Service Commission RSVP heard this information already at their fall meeting, but I'm sending this to you because there wasn't tim e to discuss it at your fall meeting. The !"1ichigan Community Service Commission meeting in September involved several small work group meetings which .examined each of the national service programs and identified areas where Senior Corps and the Commission might share information, coordinate activities, and support each other. ' Senior Corps was one of the work groups, co-chaired by Commissioner Meg Smith (RSVP Monroe) and Commissioner Pat Ryan O'Day (Marquette). I sat in on the meeting in my usual ex-officio manner Our work group examined the enclosed "Suggestions of Shared Interests." These actually then turned into recommendations that the Commission adopted for action this year. Thus, you will see that the work group plans to ask you and to ask the Commissioners to make some efforts to get acquainted where possible during the corning year. Letters and information will follow soon. Since that meeting, the Citizen Corps has been taking a little shape; members will be nominated soon; we expect a Senior Corps project director will be nominated. Fi nally, the Commission revised its vision and mission stdternents, which are both now more inclusive of persons of all ages. lf you look on the back of the page, we've listed t he mission statements for fuur of the maj~)r volunteer-service encouragers tn Michigan .
