This could be a great time to assemble buttons (Katy is the key on this project), fold brochures, assemble appeal letters (Austin?), create sound baffling for the 'living room' space next to the office...

This is a great opportunity to get some projects done around the building.
In case folks want to coordinate projects, I suggest we get together &
decide on a couple organization-wide things.

Some suggestions:
- Coordinate with Meme & Architecture group to build stuff for front entry
- Yard work in the green space along Elm street.

anyone else want to chime in?

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you regarding participation in the University of
Illinois' Homecoming Volunteer Project called iHelp.  This year, it
will take place on Saturday, October 16, 2010.  We would love to send
students to your agency/organization to help you in any way possible.
Here are more details:
iHelp is a one-day volunteer project organized by the U of I Student
Alumni Ambassadors that sends more than 1,500 University of Illinois
students into the community to help with a variety of different
activities.  This day of service not only offers assistance in large
numbers but also unites students all over campus and creates a
positive impact within the Champaign-Urbana community.
I am writing to see if your agency/organization would be interested in
hosting a group of students.  We encourage agencies to "think outside
of the box" with projects that they might not normally be able to
complete, but with a large group of students, could get done or
improved within a a 2-3 hour range since students will volunteer
approximately from 10am-1pm.  These projects include painting, grounds
clean-ups, group projects, or other tasks like stuffing envelopes or
helping at an event.  More importantly, this is a great opportunity to
recruit student volunteers for your agency as well as educate college
students about the C-U community and the services that you offer.
It is a possibility that another student group will contact you about
creating a project for iHelp.  In order to avoid your confusion, we
would like to explain the reason for this.  Starting this year,
student groups have the option of creating their own project for the
day of iHelp.  In the case that an organization decides to ask your
agency/organization to be a partner, we ask that you first prioritize
the primary project for which we are contacting you.
The best way to ensure the largest number of volunteer opportunities
is to continue to coordinate with the Student Alumni Ambassadors
(likely Lauren Michels or Brittany Koteles).  If you are able to
support a secondary project with a specialized student organization,
it is both welcomed and encouraged.
We wanted to give you notice in case you receive multiple contacts,
and we apologize for any confusion.
Let me know if you would like to work together with us on this great
event by filling out the google document that I will send in a
following email.  The email containing this form will have a subject
line of iHelp 2010.  Please let me know if you are not able to access
this form.  We would appreciate your response by September 11th.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.
With your assistance, iHelp will continue to make a difference in the
Champaign-Urbana community, and I thank you in advance for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lauren Michels
