These volunteers demonstrate the power of giving and caring every day, and the Governor's Service Awards are one small way we can thank them for their commitment. Although volunteers don't expect accolades, we know volunteer recognition leads to volunteer retention. Over the years, the Governor's Service Awards celebration has grown from 175 attendees to more than 1,000 in recent years. It has also had many faces-from a sit down dinner, to community-based celebrations, to the theatre-style gala of recent years. This year's celebration will be a more intimate event with finalists, nominators, and sponsors enjoying a private reception and ceremony at the Governor's Residence in Lansing. Governor's Service Awards are given in eight categories that highlight the diversity of volunteerism throughout Michigan. Three additional awards are presented at the event-the Carter Partnership Award is presented by Michigan Campus Compact and the Russell G. Mawby Award for Philanthropy and the Community Foundation Award for Philanthropy are presented by the Council of Michigan Foundations. Who Benefits from the Governor's Service Awards? ~TOvemor's A~; Awards In addition to the award winners and finalists, communities throughout Michigan benefit from the proceeds of the Governor's Service Awards. Volunteers are essential ingredients to the health and vitality of our communities and act as critical problem-solving resources. This event elevates the visibility of volunteers and their selfless service. Here are some examples of the innovative programs of the Michigan Community Service Commission and the volunteer community at large that benefit from the proceeds of the Governor's Service Awards: • Michigan National Guard partnership with Mentor Michigan recruits civilian soldiers to serve as mentors. • Faith-based mentor recruitment campaign to engage members as mentors. • Urban service-learning mini-grants to help urban school districts integrate service-learning into their curriculum. • Urban service-learning Conference scholarships. • Development of AmeriCorps Alumni chapters throughout Michigan to help former members make service a way of life. • AmeriCorps Week mini-grants for community-wide service projects and activities demonstrating the impact of AmeriCorps programs. • Male Mentor Recruitment Challenge to help decrease the number of boys on mentoring program waiting lists. �~ovemor's st\i~eAwards 2009 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND BENEFITS PLATINUM SPONSOR $20,000 - one sponsorship available Ford Motor Company Fund is the 2009 Platinum Sponsor Branding and Name Recognition Opportunities • Organization can display product in circle drive of Governor's Residence, which will be viewed by all event attendees • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing in statewide news releases. • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing on the event web page. • Organization identified as the Platinum Sponsor and given first billing in the event program. • Organization identified as a Platinum Sponsor in the event presentation. • Organization signage can be displayed at the event.

Program Evaluation The Learn and Serve program has contracted with RMC Research, Inc. to conduct an evaluation of local Learn and Serve- Michigan programs. RMC Research has conducted statewide evaluations of LSMI grantees since 2001. The 2008-2009 evaluation will assess: The quality of service-learning programming in local districts and which of the program characteristics are most important for predicting student outcomes. Impacts on academic achievement, civic outcomes and employability skills. Impacts on participating communities and partnering organizations. Our 2006-2007 results indicate that programming is implemented with high quality and is associated with positive effects on academic and civic engagement and students' career skills. Social Media Efforts The MSCS secured supplemental Learn and Serve funding to support social media efforts within Learn and Serve and the other MCSC programs. We awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to promote servicelearning, support online learning communities and to support professional development in local school districts. Montcalm Area Intermediate School District, Southgate Community School District and Lake Orion Community Schools were awarded the mini grants that run January 31, 2009 through August 31, 2009. This spring we will be hiring a part-time social media intern to coordinate other technologies that can help the MCSC spread the epidemic of service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ben is from Holland, Michigan and attended Spring Arbor University and the Princeton Theological Seminary. Ben is focused on men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. Ben is also providing support to programs using MentorPRO and has been assisting in the merger of the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. We are thrilled to have him on our Mentor Michigan team! MentorPRO Update With the addition of Ben Gulker, our AmeriCorps*VISTA member, MentorPRO has been gaining momentum. In January, Ben visited 12 sites to provide training and technical assistance on MentorPRO. There are currently 18 programs in Michigan using MentorPRO. We are working on marketing MentorPRO to additional programs. New Mentoring Directory Mentor Michigan has partnered with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. As a result, programs are now listed in both online directories. This system has enhanced features for volunteers and programs. Volunteers can utilize this directory to search by zip code for mentoring programs in their area and request information through the directory. Programs are now listed in both online directories and only need to maintain one record. With this enhanced database, programs will increase visibility among potential volunteers. To check out this new system, visit www.mentormichigan.org and click on the "Mentor Michigan Directory." Wave VI Census Results The Wave VI Mentor Michigan Census results were released in December 2008. This wave of the Census had the highest response Mentor Michi:gan Census rate ever with 143 mentoring organizations reporting. This wave showed a decline in the number of mentors and youth served; however, this wave revealed an increase in quality mentoring with more programs implementing the Quality Program Standards and an increase of one to one matches.

We have so many things that Mentor Michigan could do or be, so we need to narrow down and identify the core functions of Mentor Michigan to support mentoring. Once the taskforce identifies those functions, they will have MCSC staff review them and come back with recommendations of structure. The second meeting of taskforce will look at staff structure recommendations and focus on strategizing the best way to bring to fruition sustainable. The recommendations will then be presented to the MCSC Board of Commissioners for approval. After approved by the MCSC Commissioners, those that are still willing to serve on the taskforce will look at the implementation of it (about one-year of commitment). History of Mentor Michigan - Paula VanDam and Bob Kahle Bob Kahle gave aa retrospective of the past four years based on the Mentor Michigan Census. The first Mentor Michigan Census took place in fall2004 and we just completed Wave VI in Fall2008. The census is an online survey ofmentoring programs in Michigan which gathers information on the number of kids served, number of mentors, demographics, quality program standards, etc. Key trends over the past four years include: 1. Growth- The increase in the number of active mentors from 9,100 in 2004 to more than 17,000 in 2008 and an increase in the number of kids served from 15,574 in 2004 to more than 22,000 in current wave. 1 �2. More awareness and focus on quality- Mentor Michigan published the Michigan Quality Program Standards for Youth Mentoring. From these Standards, we see more systematic screening, significant improvements in background checks, more and better training of mentors pre-match, more post-match training of mentors, fewer short term matches, higher intensity of the matches (at least 1 hour a week), increase in the various forms of mentoring (e-mentoring, group, peer, etc) and a return to the one-to-one mentoring (80%). 3. More intentional focus on the type of children being served by mentors including children of incarcerated parents, kids in foster care, and kids with development or physical disabilities. With limited resources, programs are focusing on where it will have the most impact. 4. More data driven and less seat of the pants management- Programs are becoming much more evidence based. Wave VI had the highest response rate ever and cleanest data. Tools such as MentorPRO are helping with gathering the data. 5. Better collaboration- 13 active collaboratives in Michigan. More than 50% of the organizations report they are collaborating with other mentoring organizations for recruitment or social marketing. 6. Placement of AmeriCorps and VISTAs have made an incredible difference (60 members). Recent data show the growth of mentors comes from those organizations that have AmeriCorps or VISTA members. The field is moving from one that focuses on the feel good qualities of mentoring to one that focus on the impact of mentoring. Mentoring can be called an "Anti-incarceration" program. Longitude data shows that mentoring is an effective way to keep children from the Juvenile Justice System, increase high school graduation rates, delay or prevent the use of alcohol or drugs, and break the cycle of incarceration in families and lead to family reunification. MSU-Extension in partnership with Mentor Michigan, applied for a small FACT grant ($5,000) to set up a long-term evaluation on the impact of mentoring. It will take 3-5 years to get solid data on this type of outcome. Cost consequences of keeping kids out of the juvenile justice system will be a key factor in the evaluation. Tony Campbell asked if Mentor Michigan has been responsible for any of this outcome of growth from the Census? Bob Kahle stated that Mentor Michigan can take partial credit but could not take credit for trend #3 because it is more federal funding driven. Gail Manza said that Mentor Michigan could take some credit due to their advocacy efforts. Tony Campbell also asked if any of these trends would not have happened if it wasn't for Mentor Michigan? Ed Hagan responded that if you look at the trends, almost all of these trends were moving along previously. Mentoring dollars had a lot to do with the growth. We've been intentional in the kids we've served but the federal money helped with the specific kids (incarcerated parents). Mentor Michigan was important for establishing quality by setting the Quality Program Standards and setting the definition of mentoring. Mentor Michigan is also evaluating the data from mentoring programs then helping the programs to collaborate because they can't do it alone. 2 �Julie Chapin stated that because Mentor Michigan does the census, it has forced the programs to document what they are doing. It has given programs the opportunity to look at their data and policies to see how they can improve. Until programs see a way to use the data from the census publicly they won't complete the census. The census is an important public way to use the data. Ed Hagan stated that some people are going to say there are negative consequences to the quality because the total number served is down this year but the quality of the matches has improved (support, retention, quality). There needs to be a way to market that the numbers may not be growing, but the quality is. Increased quality may mean fewer kids served. National Expectations and Successful State Models- Gail Manza Gail Manza presented findings from MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership on successful mentoring partnerships and their transitions through new Governor administrations. There are 25 mentoring partnerships across the country. MENTOR had established key result areas for State Partnerships and they include: o Mentor recruitment and referral o Public awareness o Training and technical assistance o Advocacy and public policy o Data collection and reporting Features of a successful mentoring partnership include: o A mentoring champion to serve as chair/co-chairs o Committed Board of Directors or Leadership Council o Executive Director and competent staff o Providers Council o Strategic plan, including a realistic budget for revenue and expenses Ofthe state mentoring partnerships that negotiated a Gubernatorial transition, only one state did so successfully (Connecticut). States that did not succeed include New York, California, and Colorado. Florida is still working through a transition and is questionable in their success. Connecticut was successful because of: 1. Preparation and planning 2. Personalization both pre and post-election 3. Bi-partisan nature of host organization 4. Legislator support MENTOR will be supportive of the front lines (programs and partnerships) and encourages quality over quantity. They have found that the leadership level is what makes a difference in a successful partnership (whether 501c3, state commission, separate organization). Strong bipartisan support is key. 3 �A successful partnerships needs a committed board or leadership council. We should consider having a separate board or leadership council for Mentor Michigan. Leadership council should have representatives from provider council. Ginna Holmes shared that it is hard to define what the Providers Council does, what their role is, where they fit into the bigger picture of the organization and board. Their primary connection has been through staff. A Leadership Council could have Commissioners, Providers Council members, and other leaders that would champion mentoring. Providers Council should elect a chair that sits on Leadership Council. A Leadership Council is another key component to a successful transition. Prioritizing the Work (Small Group Activity) The attendees were split into two groups to discuss the function of Mentor Michigan and the strategy for taking it forward . Group One: • Awareness/Advocacy for the need for quality youth mentoring (not a nice to have but a need to have). • Establishment of education around what quality youth mentoring is o Program providers o Funders o Decision-makers (legislators) o Public • Build Awareness Group Two: • Resource collector, analyze and distribution o Funding o AmeriCorps o Advocacy I Legislature o Public Speaking • Resource and Evaluation o Data o Quality Standards • Technical Assistance and Training o Quality implementation Report out of work sessions: 1. Public Awareness 2. Standards I developing quality standards 3. Empower some group to be the advocate (Leadership Council?) What strategy is needed to transition Mentor Michigan through new administration? 4 �1. Development of Leadership Council a. Leadership Council to include members from MCSC, Providers Council and other advocates 2. Bi-partisan or non-partisan Co-Chairs 3. Need separate Executive Director for Mentor Michigan (different from current structure) and addition staff (5 staff members) 4. Need to begin to build Leadership Council immediately to begin to be the advocate (clearly define the role) 5. What can we do with quality with what we have? 6. Providers Council a. Clarify their role (advisory role) b. Include on Leadership Council c. Role for each group (MCSC, Leadership Council, Providers Council) 7. Need a strategic plan for Leadership Council Next Steps- Tony Campbell It was agreed by the Task Force that Mentor Michigan will remain in the MCSC and the focus will be how to sustain it within that framework. The plan should be implemented in the next two years. The MCSC staff were directed to take the information presented today and develop a strategy for the sustainability. The strategy should include ideas of how this group can be helpful in implementing the plan. Another meeting will be scheduled to discuss the staff's recommendations. 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Conference calls were held in December, January, and February to provide up-to-date information on reporting, events, and best practices. In March, we will hold a 2 ~ day meeting in Tustin to provide in-depth training, planning, and strategy sessions. The focus will be on adhering to and utilizing Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Standards, reviewing the new on-line management system, and discussion of plans for responding to economic stimulus. Competitive Grant Submission The competitive grant application for 2009-20 I 0 was submitted to CNCS on January 13, 2009. The application included four recompeting programs and one brand new program. It also included three continuation requests from competitively funded programs currently in the middle of their three-year grant cycles. The total amount requested was $2,891 ,244 to support 247 FTE' s. Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Council The 2008-09 Member Council was convened November 18-19, 2008 and January 21-23,2009. Each year, the Michigan' s AmeriCorps programs each select one member to serve as representative on the Member Council; in addition, one AmeriCorps*VIST A member is chosen from the state. Members choose to serve on either the Outreach team or the Alumni and Citizenship Engagement (ACE) Leadership team. Members have completed one newsletter and numerous community outreach presentations, including several to the disability community. Members have also developed and are contributing to a weekly blog (see http://miacmembercouncil.blogspot.comO. Finally, they have implemented a process for recognizing a Supervisor ofthe Month. Winners can be seen by visiting the MCSC homepage, www.michigan.gov/mcsc. AmeriCorps Week Planning is Underway AmeriCorps Week will take place May 9-16, 2009. This is a weeklong, nationwide event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs are planning various projects and events, which will showcase the power of AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps alums through service in Michigan, as well as to educate key stakeholders on the role, impact, and potential of national service. These projects will engage Michigan's AmeriCorps*State and National Direct members, VISTA, Senior Corps, Learn and Serve, AmeriCorps Alums, and other community partners. AmeriCorps Week will culminate in the Russ Mawby Signature Service Project in Flint, MI (see below). Russ Mawby Signature Service Project The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project is an annual event. Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for two days of training, teambuilding, and service. By the end of the second day, several projects are completed, visibly demonstrating the power of AmeriCorps members in action. This year' s project is a partnership between the MCSC, Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, and Genesee County Habitat for Humanity. The Signature Service Project will take place in Flint on May 15 and 16, and will be one of the signah1re closing events for National AmeriCorps Week (described above). At this year's Signature Service Project, over 300 AmeriCorps members and alums will come together to assist with building and landscaping projects in Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood. Members will also help construct a playscape structure in Memorial Park. We hope to include AmeriCorps members from the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), which is a full-time, team-based residential program for men and women age 18-24. NCCC members, based out of Vinton, Iowa, have selected Flint as one of their target cities and will spend several weeks providing service to the Flint community. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AmeriCorps is all about making a difference in the lives of others, but what I've come to realize is that one of the greatest gifts of serving in this organization is that our actions are reciprocated. I started my first term of service trying to change the lives of others, but found the people I've met along my journey have made a huge impact on me. For example, I FOLLOWERS believe because of the many opportunities I've been given to meet families from all over the city of Grand Rapids, my service has been made all the better for it. The knowledge and insight I get from each person I meet causes me to grow and Follow or S ···n ,., Followers (8) learn alongside the people I'm serving with and for. I continue to be amazed and inspired by the kids, co-workers, volunteers and AmeriCorps members I serve with everyday. How has AmeriCorps changed your life? Who or what in during your term of service has constantly inspired you to grow and learn everyday? POS T ED BY M I CH I GAN'S A:VJERICORPS IVIE!VIBE R COU:\!C ll.

Review and Approval of September 21 , 2008 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 21, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael A. Blueprint for Action 1. 2007-2008 Accomplishments- Paula VanDam explained that there are three key areas to the Blueprint for Action: providing vision, providing resources, and strengthening communities. The accomplishments for each of the initiatives were then identified in each of these areas. A document with an extensive list of accomplishments was given to Commissioners and Ms . VanDam gave a few highlights. Providing vision and leadership accomplishments included the role we played around ServiceNation with the Governor being the first Governor to sign on to the Leadership Council, the leadership we provided in the state to develop 55 Days of Action events, and the work to educate and inform about public policy. One Learn and Serve accomplishment was that Angelia Salas was invited to participate in a na~ional team of service-learning leaders from across the country who created the new K12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice. The standards have been vetted and unveiled this past April. Michigan continues to be viewed as an expeti around service-learning. We've also been involved in advocacy by sending letters from Dan Mulhern to members of Congress advocating for particular issues or funding streams (reauthorization, appropriation levels, etc). Providing resources is primarily around our grantmaking function and includes not only AmeriCorps and Learn and Serve, but this past year we were able to provide mini-grants within Mentor Michigan to support recruitment and recognition events by mentoring organizations. In a meeting with the AmeriCorps organizational leaders, they shared that they receive a variety of funding from difference sources but do not get the level of support from those organizations that they receive from their ArneriCorps program officers. Strengthening communities focuses on the impact we are having around key critical areas including service-learning and mentoring initiatives for children with incarcerated parents as well as children in foster care or children aging out of foster care. AmeriCorps members served 702,000 hours and engaged 2,500 students in service learning. In Learn and Serve-Michigan, we engaged over 26,000 students who contributed over 500,000 hours of service-learning. 2 �2. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action - Musette Michael shared the draft version of the 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action. It continues to have the three key focus areas of providing vision, providing resources, and strengthening communities. But we have updated some of the language. Once Commissioners approve the Blueprint for Action, staffwill provide the additional details as backup to the strategies. Commissioners were provided a copy of the Corporation's focus area showing that the MCSC is aligning its focus areas with the CNCS 's focus areas. Chairman Mulhern asked the Commissioners to break up into groups and each group would look at one of the focus areas to determine ifthey had any additions or changes. Each of the groups then reported outcomes from their discussions. Staff will incorporate their changes into the final document. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the Blueprint for Action with the changes discussed today. Commissioner Smith moved to support the motion; Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Governor Service Awards- Musette Michael discussed the financial summary from the 2008 Governor's Service Awards and highlighted the income and expenses and the net of $98,078. She thanked Commissioners for their help in fundraising. Staff recommends retaining the proceeds until the Board assesses needs related to the MCSC transition preparation. Also fundraising for the 2009 Governor's Service Awards could be challenging, and proceeds from 2008 may need to be available for expenses. Typically the Commission recommends keeping $10,000 in the GSA fund for start up expenses for the following year but it might be better to have a larger balance to begin with. Commissioner Lawson shared that she feels uncomfortable keeping the full amount of proceeds from GSA knowing that we need to increase the capacity of mentoring organizations and that the programs need the money. When Commissioners are fundraising for GSA, they represent that proceeds will benefit mentoring programs. But she also agrees that fundraising for 2009 GSA will be challenging. She suggested that we need to reassess our plans for 2009 GSA due to the economy. Commissioner Collier agreed that proceeds should go to Mentor Michigan due to the commitment to the funders that proceeds would benefit mentoring. It was also suggested that maybe we should look at doing local recognition events this year. Staff shared that we tried that one year and it didn't work well. Commissioner Lawson stated that at the breakfast last year funders did say they liked the large event but that due to the economy, they would probably feel differently now. Ms. VanDam shared that we surveyed past finalists, winners, and nominators and their response showed that they like the large recognition event and do not want to go back to a regional approach for recognition. Commissioners asked that $50,000 of the 2008 GSA proceeds go to Mentor Michigan as mini-grants to mentoring programs. The remaining funds will remain in GSA fund until further notice. Commissioner Collier made a motion to transfer $50,000 to Mentor Michigan fund. Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 3 �The GSA Committee will look at the 2009 GSA event to see how it can be more cost effective. Commissioner Lawson will send out a survey to Commissioners with location options. C. Mentor Michigan - Musette Michael gave an update on Mentor Michigan. We will be awarding $10,000 in mini-grants for Mentoring Month in January. With the additional GSA proceeds, we will be able to grant out additional dollars. Lloyd Can· also has agreed to attend some events in January for mentoring month. The MCSC is requesting state appropriations for Mentor Michigan. Kevin Reeves worked on a proposal for DHS for funding to build the infrastructure as well as money to give to mentoring programs. The proposal highlighted ways that DHS could save money with this appropriation to Mentor Michigan. Commissioners are encouraged to contact their legislators to share the impact this funding would have. Ms . Michael also announced that we were approved for a position to hire a Mentor Michigan Coordinator. We have been using private funding to support Amber Reiss ' position through an executive on loan agreement through MNA. Amber Reiss also shared that Mentor Michigan will have two new AmeriCorps*VISTAs starting soon. Chairman Mulhern shared information on a mentoring collaborative that is giving out awards to their local legislators and that we should try to get other collaboratives to do the same thing to bring more awareness to the legislators about mentoring. D. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves gave an update on the financial statement that was distributed to Commissioners. IV. Breakout Session and Report Out A. Report out from Commissioner Retreat - Chairman Mulhern explained that the committees established at the Commissioner Retreat to look at the transition of the MCSC to the next administration will now have an opportunity to meet to begin their discussions. They will report out afterwards. B. Report out from Committee meetings Commission I Board Development Committee - Carolyn Bloodworth shared that the committee looked at the board members whose terms will expire in the next year. The committee requests that the board change the 3 - three year term policy so that those that are term limited this year can be reappointed for one more term due to the transition . Their history with the last transition will be important to have during this transition. Succession Planning Committee - Janet Lawson shared that they had a good discussion but they are not ready to report out. Mentor Michigan Taskforce - Tony Campbell shared that the taskforce is going to ask some Provider Council members and funders to join. This taskforce will meet soon to establish the function of Mentor Michigan. At the first meeting, they will look at the history, national requirements, etc. to determine the function that we need to carry out. After this, they will look at how Mentor Michigan will continue whether to create a new nonprofit, leave Mentor Michigan where it is, an interagency 4 �agreement, or add to a nonprofit organization that already exists. We will list the pros and cons for each of the options, make a decision of what form it should take, and then develop an implementation plan to take to the entire Commission. Transition Planning Committee - Musette Michael shared that their committee talked about having some type of documentation (other than an Annual Report) to take to legislators and other key stakeholders and have a larger amount of information on the website. Commissioner Sowmick agreed to underwrite the cost of the printing of the document. She also shared that Lori Jewell and Kyle Caldwell have drafted a plan that the committee will review. A TASC manual exists that includes best practices of Commissions. VI.

Welcome and Introduction- Chairman Dan Mulhern The MCSC Board meeting was called to order at 12:15 p.m. by Chairn1an Dan Mulhern. He welcomed new Commissioner Michael Hill and Karen Betley. He asked Commissioners to introduce themselves. II. Review and Approval ofNovember 17, 2008 Minutes - Chairman Dan Mulhern Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the November 17, 2008 board meeting. Commissioner Collier moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Bloodworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports A. Review Executive Committee minutes from January 8, 2009 meeting. Chairman Mulhern shared that the committee approved AmeriCorps competitive funding. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the January 8, 2009 Executive Committee meeting. Commissioner Niester moved to approve the minutes; Commissioner Lawson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report- Musette Michael A. Standards Review- Paula Kaiser VanDam shared that on July 27-31 there will be a team of 4-5 individuals representing the CNCS conducting a Standards Review. They have established eight standards that address Commission operations and oversight of sub-grantees. They will review policy and procedures related to these two items and there will be an overall assessment of how we conduct our business. We will either pass or, if we are not passing all of these standards, we will go through a remedial process to make sure that we are meeting these standards. The standards process has been in existence since 1999 and this will be the second time we have gone through it. The last time we passed with flying colors and many of the staff have gone through the process. They have simplified the process since the last time we went through it (last time there were 12 standards and now there are 8). They have worked hard to streamline the process and to identify what they think are the most critical pieces that need to be in place related to commissions. The standards help the Corporation establish expectations of state commissions and then hold commissions accountable to those expectations. We are working as a staff to prepare for it. We are also working with DHS staff to make sure they understand the expectations. Ms. Michael shared that the Corporation considers the MCSC to be highly functioning and the Commissioners are known to be connected and engaged so we are going into the standards review with a good reputation. B. 2008-2010 Blueprint for Action - Musette Michael explained that the updated Blueprint for Action is included with the goals that staff is expected to meet for the next two years. Staff presented a draft to Commissioners at the November meeting 2 �and have included Commissioner's comments and changes into this final version. Activities to accomplish the goals for each program area are also included. C. National Service Update, Advocacy, Public Relations 1. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Musette Michael shared there is a lot going on at the national level around national service. The President recently signed into law the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. State and national AmeriCorps programs received $89 million. The MCSC anticipates receiving $2.67 million to expand our 18 existing grantees. This is an estimated amount but could translate into 200 additional full-time members in Michigan. This does not include the VISTA slots that Evan Albert will receive. The money will be disbursed through the formula and competitive mechanisms. The Act states that the money can only go to existing grantees. Existing programs can partner with another nonprofit organization to provide additional opportunities. We are working with the Governor's office to ensure that the additional AmeriCorps funds support Michigan's recovery and reinvestment goals. There may be an opportunity for match waivers also. There will be accountability, performance and tracking requirements for the funds . Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC is waiting for the guidelines from the Corporation but has surveyed current programs to find out their interest and capacity for more members. Commissioner Collier asked whether we will be able to use the full funding the MCSC will receive. Ms. VanDam explained that without match waivers, it may be difficult but that the program staff is working with the programs to establish a plan so that all of the funds will be used. If the programs are not ready to accept or use this funding, the MCSC has other options available including working with the Governor's office on some other options for use of the funding. Commissioner Collier said that if there is a match requirement, we should make sure that doesn't stand in the way. The MCSC needs to figure out a way to access it because we only get this funding once and we don ' t want to lose the opportunity to take advantage of it. 2. Serve America Act- Ms. Michael explained that the Serve American Act anticipates expanding the number of AmeriCorps members from 75,000 to 250,000. As far as we know, Congressman Hoekstra is the only Michigan legislator that does not support the Act. 3. Federal Legislation Updates- Ms. Michael shared that the House inh·oduced the FY09 Omnibus Appropriations Act to provide funding for federal departments and programs. The House and Senate are expected to pass the Omnibus bill quickly as the continuing resolution expires on March 6. We will be meeting with federal legislators in April when they return to their districts for spring break and will be discussing legislation relating to national service. Commissioners will also be invited to participate in the legislative visits. There is also some discussion that reauthorization is moving quickly and may get connected to the Serve America Act. 4. CNCS Update- The CNCS has named a new Chair, Alan Solomont. He has been very supportive of service and has served on the CNCS board. The Corporation has not named a CEO as of yet. The President issued his initial FY10 budget summary and proposes $1 .13 billion for the Corporation, an increase of $261 million, to increase its capacity to manage its programs. 3 �D. AmeriCorps - Marcy Bishop Kates and Jeanine Yard 1. Program Update -Marcy explained that the program staff is committed to providing training and support to the Program Directors and has held conference calls monthly and will be holding a 2 Yz day meeting with them in March for indepth training, planning, and strategy sessions. At the meeting they will focus on program standards (both Corporation and MCSC) and discussing plans for the economic stimulus funding. The AmeriCorps competitive grant was submitted in January and the MCSC will hear in May which programs will be funded competitively. The program staff met with the Member Council in January. Marcy highlighted the Member Council blog they have created. 2. AmeriCorps Week- AmeriCorps Week will be May 9-16 and this year emphasis will be on educating the public and making sure they know what AmeriCorps is. Michigan's AmeriCorps programs are also planning various projects and events. 3. Russ Mawby Signature Service Project- This year's event will take place on May 15 and 16 in Flint and will be recognized as one of the signature closing events for AmeriCorps Week. Commissioners are urged to attend. Chairman Mulhern asked how we know about our effectiveness (standards are important so that we follow procedures). But the bigger question is how do we as a Commission know if we are serving AmeriCorps well and how do we know if AmeriCorps is really having an impact with our citizens and communities. Marcy explained that Megan Sargent surveys the grantees at the beginning of the program year to find out their technical assistance needs and we pay attention to that. We are also in constant communication with our grantees to know how they are doing, what they are doing, and what their needs are. As far as the programs and the members serving and how they are making an impact, all of our programs are required to do a progress report outlining what members are doing, and tracking their outcomes. Chairn1an Mulhern asked whether we are asking the "clients" how effective the AmeriCorps members are. Marcy stated that the programs conduct perforn1ance evaluations of the members and those are included in their progress reports. One of the sections of the progress report focuses on the impact. All of this information is then submitted to the Corporation. She also shared that on program site visits, they talk with executive directors, site supervisors, and members and get a subjective feeling of what is happening. Chairman Mulhern asked if AmeriCorps could present at a future meeting the effectiveness and impact AmeriCorps members are having. 4. Inclusion Update- Jeanine Yard gave an update on the Inclusion Committee and its members. Commissioner AI Swain also is a member of the committee. Several members attended the National Disability and Inclusion conference in the fall and then shared information from the conference with the committee during sh·ategic planning meetings in November and January. They have developed three goals to be more inclusive across the state. The first goal is to promote Michigan's national service program as an opportunity and a bridge to skill building, career development, and community inclusion. Some committee members will be attending the Michigan Transition Association Conference and will serve on a panel to share with counselors and transition coordinators in K -12 schools about how service can be a great transition oppOLiunity for those that are 4 �exiting school who may have some kind of disability (physical or learning). The second goal is partnerships that will develop ongoing state and local level relationships with stakeholders in the service and disability communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in volunteerism. The third goal is around policy and procedures by identifying and addressing local, state, and federal policies and practices that present barriers. The committee also has several presentations and exhibits scheduled in different communities. Also, each AmeriCorps Member Council representative is required to give one presentation to the disability community locally. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC receives a grant from the Corporation (this year it is $70,000) for inclusion that helps cover the costs of these trainings. The new AmeriCorps recruitment video was shown to Commissioners. The videos will be sent out to school counselors and resource coordinators, will be on the MCSC website, and shown during AmeriCorps week. The video will help to generate general awareness of AmeriCorps. We would like to connect with Campus Compact to distribute the video to campuses to help recruit members. Commissioners suggested having the video shown in the lobby ofDHS offices, school associations and charter schools, Secretary of State offices, and video-on-demand. E. Mentor Michigan - Amber Reiss 1. Program Update- Ben Gulker, a new AmeriCorps*VIST A member joined the MCSC staff in December. His focus areas will be men in mentoring, children of incarcerated parents, and youth in and aging out of foster care. He has great skills that he brings to Mentor Michigan with a faith-based background and is tech savy so he is a great resource with MentorPRO and our online directory. With Ben on staff, we've been able to increase our capacity with MentorPRO. He has been providing training and technical assistance with MentorPRO and outreach with other programs to get them on board with the system. There have also been some recent updates to our online directory. We had the opportunity to partner with MENTOR to merge the Mentor Michigan Directory and the National Mentoring Database. Programs are now registered in both online systems but only need to maintain one record. This program has enhanced features for both volunteers and programs. 2. Wave VI Census Results- Results were released in December. We had the highest participation rate ever but saw a decline in the number of mentors and youth served. The programs did show an increase in quality mentoring with more one-to-one matches compared to team mentoring and more programs are implementing the Quality Program Standards. 3. Mentoring Month- Elyse Walter shared highlights from Mentoring Month. There were 62 recruitment, recognition and/or celebration events this year that registered with Mentor Michigan and promoted on the Mentor Michigan website. We offered 38 Michigan Mentoring Month mini-grants that were distributed to some of these 62 events to help cover expenses for their events. Special promotions included the Lloyd Carr PSA that aired during each Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings game on Fox Sports Network- Detroit during January (the PSA aired nearly 100 times during the month) and also aired every hour for six days during the 2009 North American International Auto Show on two LED 5 �screens (PSA aired over 150 during the week) located outside of Cobo Hall. Governor Granholm also officially proclaimed the month of January as Michigan Mentoring Month and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern addressed mentoring in his weekly "Reading for Leading" e-newsletter. There were also several media hits throughout the month including an op-ed from Commissioner Joe Lubig in the Mining Journal. Ms. Michael announced that Amber Reiss has recently become a classified civil servant as the program officer for Mentor Michigan. This will provide stability for Mentor Michigan. F. Learn & Serve- Angelia Salas 1. Program Update - The 2009 Learn and Serve Outstanding Service-Learning Awards were presented earlier this month to outstanding candidates at The Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. Award categories included School Administrator, Innovative Program, Student Award, and Teacher/Practitioner Award. Commissioners Williamson and Alexander attended and helped present the awards. We were a sponsor of The Institute, a two-day event for K-12 and higher education representatives to gain professional development and training in service-learning. There were over 350 attendees this year. Learn and Serve - Michigan is working with RMC Research to conduct an evaluation of local Learn and Serve programs. Next year we will be working with other states who have agreed to use the same evaluation protocol and to look at whether service-learning in the classroom is high quality, meaning is it integrated into the curriculum and is it providing all the things outlined in the service-learning standards. Next year we will also evaluate school connectedness because we know that students that aren't connected to their schools, teachers, or communities tend to fall through the cracks. Last year we had more than 24,000 students involved in Learn and Serve programs, more than 1,000 teachers using Learn and Serve in their classrooms, and students provided more than 500,000 hours of service. Learn and Serve is using social media as a strategy. This year we received a small supplemental grant and have awarded three web 2.0 social media grants to look at how using this technology will help them engage more teachers, engage more students, and keep them connected in supporting one another. The Learn and Serve formula application has been submitted for funding for the next three years. We will be doing outreach and trying to reach high-poverty areas to make sure they have access to these funds . We are in the beginning of a three-year cycle which is an open competition, meaning all of our current grantees will have to reapply. We expect that most of them will be funded and are looking at funding approximately five new programs as well. Our competitive application will be due in April and our community-based application will be due also. 6 �G. Volunteer Investment Grants - Angelia Salas provided Commissioners with a current list ofVIG grantees who were awarded renewal funding. These grants look at the capacity of organizations to be better equipped to mobilize volunteers. The focus areas identified for the 2009 VIG were mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service, and dropout prevention. VIG grantees were required to develop activities that increased the number of volunteers in these focus areas and address current capacity issues. Grantees will meet in March to talk about program requirements, share best practices, and talk about social media techniques that can support their capacity. H. MLK Day Recap - Jeanine Yard shared that we had a very successful MLK Day of Service. This is the second year the MCSC has taken a leadership role in promoting MLK Day of Service. Through blast emails we were able to promote the different projects that were taking place and encourage organizations to register their projects. Last year there were 32 projects on the website and through partnerships with CNCSMichigan office, Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact, the LEAGUE- Michigan, and Michigan Association ofUnited Ways, Michigan registered 366 service projects. The President promoting the MLK Day of Service helped to increase this number substantially. The goal for next year is to continue to maintain the momentum, if funds are available offer mini-grants to those organizations that would like to do something, and to promote the day as a premier day of service. V. I. Governor's Service Awards - Janice Harvey explained that the Commissioners have received an overview of the Governor 's Service Awards and the Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits to use when making fundraising phone calls. A list of potential sponsors was included with follow-up information for Commissioners. The fundraising goal will be $100,000. The event will be held on June 25 1h at the Governor's Lansing Residence, which will be a smaller but nice event. We will be able to cut some of the expenses of the event by holding it at the Residence and therefore have the same proceeds to support programming. J. Financial Report- Kevin Reeves outlined the financial statement presented to Commissioners highlighting the expenses for the first quarter. He also shared that the Mentor Michigan proposal submitted last fall was not approved for the budget. The potential savings to the budget was not enough to offset the cost of the program. Ms. Michael shared that it was the right proposal but the wrong economy to request additional funding. New Business A. Transition Discussion 1. Mentor Michigan Sustainability Taskforce- Paula VanDam shared that the Taskforce, chaired by Tony Campbell, met in January. Three Mentor Michigan Providers Council members also serve on this taskforce. Gail Manza, former CEO ofMENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, was invited to present. She explained that there have been six other states that launched statewide mentoring initiatives from their Governor's office. Of the six, only one has successfully sustained itself and the other five are no longer in existence. It shows the 7 �challenge we have ahead of us but it also made us more determined that we are on the success side. Gail shared what she thought the key components of why it was successful in the one particular state (Connecticut) and why it was not successful in the other five . Mentor Michigan will be developing a plan. The intent is to have the Taskforce present their recommendations at the June board meeting for Commissioners to vote on. The taskforce was in agreement that they want Mentor Michigan to stay within the Commission but they want some options of which it can be sustained based on resources and leadership changes. They are advocating for an Executive Director or Deputy Director that would provide the sort of leadership that is going to allow Mentor Michigan to continue to be the type of organization it needs to be. They also talked about a second leadership body to be clearly defined in terms of roles and responsibilities that would have Commissioner representatives and other key leaders across the state represented. Options will be presented to the Taskforce at a meeting on March 26, and then to the Board in June. 2. MCSC Transition Planning Committee - Lori Jewell presented a draft Organization Transition Plan to Commissioners. Key strategies necessary to move forward were identified. The first is to determine the components of an effective plan including sticking with our vision/values. This includes how we will tell our stories and the message we will use, who will be in the leadership position to help us execute that as we move forward, what will the MCSC structure look like during a transition, what resources (human, financial) will be needed to tell our story to make it a success as we move through the transition, and advocacy/awareness. The next key strategy is scenarios and being prepared for any leadership change situation. The third is assigning champions that can tell the story. The fourth is execution. There is not a timeline but that will be added to this section later. The last two strategies include monitoring/report progress and then wrap up/celebration. The Committee and key staff will help fill in the details of the plan. 3. MCSC Succession Planning Committee- Janet Lawson shared that the committee met via conference call and discussed succession planning, not with names, but what a plan would look like. The Executive Director position, which is a limited tenn appointment, was discussed. The role of the Commission is to support the Governor's selection for that position. Both the Executive Director and the Chairman should not transition off at the same time. There seems to be reasons to have the Executive Director transition off first. One of those reasons is for stability; the new Executive Director should work with the existing chair so that there is continuity to programming. Also, on a national level, there are significant things happening in Washington DC and there is an immediate need for Michigan to step up to the plate, to be present, to claim our money, and to have a consistency with ASC and CNCS. We don't want them to see too many changes going on in Michigan at the same time. We discussed the immediacy of the Executive Director change to happen first. The chair transition was also discussed. The Chair is nominated by the Commission and is approved by the full board. During the last transition , Russ Mawby stepped in as chair and led the organization well through the transition. Similarly we need a Chair to come from 8 �• our group, to be non-political, and who can lead us through the transition. Vernice Davis Anthony has recently been appointed to the board and has agreed to Chair the organization into the next administration.

Four focus areas were identified for the 2009 Michigan ' s VIG: mentoring, engaging baby boomers, engaging youth in service and dropout prevention. The following programs were awarded renewal funding: Legal Applicant Counties Served Washtenaw Focus Area Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Mento ring_, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living/Washtenaw Youth Mentoring Coalition Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Flint Genesee Camp Fire USA West MI Council Communities In Schools Detroit Kent Wayne, Oakland Human Development Commission Boomers, Dropout Prevention Kalamazoo Communities in Schools Huron Sanilac Kalamazoo Michigan Nonprofit Association-Mentor Michigan Ingham Mento ring Oak Park Business and Education Alliance Oakland United Way ofNorthwest Michigan Volunteer Center Antrim, Benzie Leelanau, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Chippewa, Luce, Mackinac Berrien, Cass, Van Buren Wayne Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Boomers, Dropout Prevention United Way of Eastern Upper Peninsula Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan Volunteers in Prevention, Probation and Prisons, Inc. Boomers, Dropout Prevention, Mentoring Youth Service Mentoring Dropout Prevention, Mentoring, Youth Service Michigan's VIG requires grantees develop activities that both increase the number of volunteers mobilized in the focus areas and that they use innovative strategies to address current capacity issues. Examples of strategies to be employed in 2009 include: The Volunteer Center of Southwest Michigan will support potential mentors in the time between when they complete the mentoring application process and the time they are actually matched. The delays in placing mentors can be discouraging for volunteers. The Volunteer Center will implement a training and support system to keep the potential mentors connected to the agencies while their background checks are completed. The Volunteer Center will also assist local mentoring agencies in strengthening their internal capacity according to the mentoring Quality Program Standards. These activities will increase the overall capacity of mentoring organizations in the three county regton. �Camp Fire USA West Michigan Council served more than 2,600 low-income youth during the 2007-08 program year. To increase their long-term capacity to serve youth, the program will continue to implement Operation SAGE: Seniors Active, Giving and Enriching. The program locates and recruits 55 years and older Camp Fire alumni as mentors and volunteers. Because of their existing connection to the program these alumni are viewed as means for increasing the number of volunteers available to meet long-term volunteer leadership roles. The Michigan ' s VIG allowed the initial search for program alumni. Grantees will be convened in March to discuss program requirements, share best practices and examine how Web 2.0 technologies can be used to support their long-term organizational capacity. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The next MCSC Board Meeting will take place on Friday, February 27, from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, at the MCSC office, 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4, Lansing. Lunch will be available at 11:30 am. We will give program updates and further discuss the MCSC transition and Mentor Michigan sustainability plan. An agenda and background material will be sent out soon. Please let me know if you will be attending the meeting on February 27th. I have also attached a list of the 2009 MCSC meeting dates and special events. Please note that our June meeting was formerly scheduled for June 17th. Due to the new date and location of the Governor's Service Awards (they will now take place at the Governor's Lansing Residence on June 25th), we thought it more convenient for Commissioners to hold the Board Meeting that same day so that those of you who travel will only need to make one trip to Lansing that week.

Members will continue 5 capacity building projects within schools, and initiate 2 new programs to help these schools better achieve their missions. 75% of school partners will indicate an increased capacity to achieve their missions within in the first year, while 50% of partners in the second year of a project will indicate the project is less reliant on CYD and moving towards sustainability. Jumpstart Michigan Counties Served: Washtenaw, Wayne Jumpstart Michigan's AmeriCorps members work individually and in teams to enhance the literacy, language, and social development of young children by implementing research-based best practices from the field of early childhood education in preschool centers serving lowincome communities. Corps members accomplish this during structured sessions and regular visits to preschools throughout the school year. Jumpstart AmeriCorps members also engage volunteers and perform service projects to meet community needs. Jumpstart members will recruit 120 volunteers who will assist in increasing literacy resources for young children and their families and increase the reach of the Jumpstart Program in the community. Members will provide 73 preschoolers with individual school readiness support. Member will also receive training to equip them to become future teachers. MSU Extension/4-H Mentor Michigan Initiative Counties Served: Berrien, Cass, Cheboygan, Clare, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Gladwin, Gratiot, Ingham, Ionia, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Leelanau, Luce, Mackinac, Macomb, Missaukee, Muskegon, Oakland, Oscoda, Ottawa, Shiawassee, Wayne, Wexford The 4-H Mentor Michigan Initiative AmeriCorps program will enroll sixty full-time members in order to build the capacity of mentoring organizations throughout the state of Michigan by expanding youth mentoring programs, recruiting, supporting and evaluating volunteers to become mentors in schools and community-based mentoring programs. These members: 1) develop and enhance mentoring programs for at-risk youth in 45-50 counties statewide; 2) plan and carry out community-based service-learning activities with these same youth; 3) train and match adult and older youth volunteer mentors with at-risk youth through one-on-one, small group, or peer mentoring; 4) form and/or expanded mentoring collaboratives in at least 80% of the participating counties; and 5) participate in trainings using MCSC and CNCS developed materials to increase understanding ofkey citizenship principles and to aid in the development of a strong interest in life-long civic engagement. Members also design, promote, and deliver mentor workshops. In addition, they plan and conduct a community service project in their local community. �Michigan's AmeriCorps Education Award Only Applicant Connect Michigan Alliance/Michigan Campus Compact Counties Served: Statewide The Michigan Service Scholars (MSS) AmeriCorps program will enlist 400 minimum-time (300 hour), Education Award Only AmeriCorps members to support 1) Volunteer Recruitment, 2) Strengthening Communities, and 3) Education. This program provides a much-needed link in the continuum of service opportunities for young adults. Those who were engaged in service-learning and community service while in the K-12 setting have the opportunity to give back to the community while developing as engaged citizens who will continue on in a life time of service. Due to the facilitation of the Michigan Campus Compact, large numbers of students may become involved as they attend compact member colleges and universities. This makes the program very cost effective. 225 or more MSS AmeriCorps members will serve at 100 community/faith-based partner organizations in fulfilling their mission to serve the community. In 2007-2008, members recruited 3462 volunteers who engaged in 7744 hours of service. In 2009-2010, 25 or more MSS AmeriCorps members will recruit 500 volunteers to serve 3,750 hours in schools and community/faith-based organizations. This ability to generate volunteers has remarkable implications for agency capacity across Michigan. This program is also on the forefront of service learning. A specific cadre of members is focused on developing and piloting service-learning lesson plans in the classroom. In order for servicelearning to take root and be sustained, it must be integrated in programming at the higher education level. The MSS program is successfully achieving this objective and can develop a model that is replicable for other states and institutions of higher education across the country. 150 MSS AmeriCorps members in the pre-service teacher education track will produce 150 K-12 service-learning units as measured by actual submissions of serv-ice-learning units. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The 2009 AmeriCorps Week, which took place May 9-16, has been deemed the best AmeriCorps Week in history as thousands of individuals participated in events throughout the country. AmeriCorps members were recognized th rough news articles and other media outlets while multiple Governors and state legislatures officially declared the week across the U.S . Members and alums celebrated AmeriCorps Week by doing what they do best- service! Projects varied from commun ity beautification to a disability inclusion film festival and everything in between. Members also took the time to thank their community partners and recruit more Americans into service. Millions of Americans learned about AmeriCorps through school presentations, recruitment fairs , service projects , and media coverage during the week. What is AmeriCorps? AmeriCorps is commonly described as the domestic Peace Corps. Individuals, called members, commit to a specific term of service (usually one year) and are housed in nonprofit organizations, schools, or other agencies. Members range in age from 17 to 70+ years and represent a wide spectrum of other demographics. Upon successful completion of their service, members earn an education award to pay for college , graduate school , or to pay back qualified student loans. During their service, members may also be eligible to receive a modest living allowance , health insurance, childcare, and student loan deferment. More than 574 ,000 AmeriCorps members have helped recruit, train , and supervise community volunteers, tutor and mentor youth , build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, respond to disasters, and build the capacity of fa ith-based and community organizations since 1994. Together with the federal initiatives Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America , AmeriCorps is meeting critical needs in communities and promoting civic participation . �Michigan's AmeriCorps Week Russ Mawby Signature Service Project Impacted City of Flint More than 250 Michigan's AmeriCorps members gathered together to help restore Flint's Grand Traverse neighborhood as part of the 2009 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project (SSP) .
