Update: Thanks to those that came out for our meeting last Thursday, 12/8! Here’s the meeting notes:
Here’s the notes from our meeting last Thursday!
We discussed the MLK Day January 16, 2012 project and are looking to piggy-back with the CRC’s theme of childhood wellness, anti-obesity, and physical activity. At the urging Points of Light Institute, we’ll reach out to our local Food Corps volunteers and see if we can partner with them for a service project.
Kate M. will renew the Community TV Network membership, and if anyone relishes being in front of the camera, let me know, since they will run promos for our programs any time. I’ve done it through my work and it’s very non-threatening (assuming you don’t automatically turn beet red in the vicinity of a video camera).
We discussed having a monthly networking meeting at Dimillo’s (free happy hour buffet!) on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, which next month is January 21st. I’ll let you know if that comes through.
That’s what you missed if you weren’t there! Stay tuned for more MLK Day project info.

Hi Alums!
I hope everyone had a nice summer; it was nice to have a break from obligations and let the sun and BBQ’ing take you where it wanted. Now that our schedules are calming down (they are, aren’t they??), let’s meet up again to discuss future volunteer opportunities.
We’ll meet a Brian Boru’s upstairs on Friday, September 23rd at 6pm. Our agenda will include volunteering at the Maine Marathon, Day of Caring, and reviewing MLK Day mini-grants for the Maine Commission for Community Service. Feel free to bring details on projects that interest you.
Hope to see you, and email kate.mccarty@americorpsalums.org if you have questions or can’t make the meeting, but still want to be involved.
