[Imcamericorps] [IMC] Want volunteers???

Fri Sep 17 11:33:14 CDT 2010

Hey Tina ,
 Great Idea these volunteers are only available on Oct. 2nd for two hours in
the afternoon. The contact needs to know by the end of the business day if
she can send 40 volunteers to the IMC at that time. So really this email is
a call for people to say they are going to lead X number of people on Y
project. So far BTP could take a few(3-4) I could take about 5-6, C4A could
take 5 or so that leaves 25 volunteers with no leader and no project. Unless
others set-up to lead americorps and non-americorps this is not going to
happen. A Big Clean up around downtown would work but the lady is really
looking to serve the IMC projects, because the volunteers that are coming
may be starting a media center in Ohio, however if people are willing to
volunteer to help with a big clean up project I would gladly propose the
idea.

Thoughts?
