Great Job ACMAC

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:24:18 +0000

Hey ACMAC, I just happened to be bored at work and decided to check out the wiki to see what was new. As a past Coordinator and newsletter editor, I want to say GREAT JOB! Everything looks awesome. I love the new pages and info, this site is really becoming a comprehensive resource for AmeriCorps memebers. The newsletters look really good too, I'm impressed with how many articles you've been able to publish. Keep it up! :)

Member Benefits

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:34:27 +0000

I had one more group of items to add to the ACMAC wiki, which I will not be able to accomplish. (You can see my entries on the wiki as "Evanston.") Those items relate to the recurring problems members have with local officials regarding so-called benefits, such as food stamps, public assistance, housing, etc. I planned to post official information on the wiki. I heard recently that VISTAs get this info as part of orientation. Unfortunately, AmeriCorps State members are lucky if they do. The State Commission does not maintain such information on its web site. … so, the wiki should.

This task should be taken up by the Ambassador Committee.

Service Day events across Montana

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:27:30 +0000

Dear Program Director:

I am writing as a member of the AmeriCorps Member Advisory Council (ACMAC). One of our tasks is to help members meet and work together in service events in their communities. Some AmeriCorps members have succeeded in finding other members in their community for service events. However, many need some help to do that, which leads to our request.

ACMAC will send a regular email to you, asking for proposed service events during the next month. This is the first such e-mail. We are requesting the typical who, what and where questions: Who is the contact, what is the event and where is it (town)? April has several possible service days, including Global Youth Service Days, April 24-29, 2009, among many other recognized national events.

We will post your response on our wiki site for AmeriCorps members to access. If you have not visited our site, you can get there through this url: http://acmac.wikidot.com/

Though April is fast approaching, please try to send your response by March 31.

Thank you for helping us assist your members.

Fundraising

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:09:13 +0000

Our recent success in Missoula's Make a Difference Day included some small scale fundraising, and there are a couple of national organizations offering funds for MLK and Global Youth Service week. Perhaps we should link those fund sources on the wiki. For example, COSTCO store managers have discretionary funds for local non-profits and Disney offers small grants for Global Youth Services week. I have collected a few of the links for these that could be a start.

Miles City

If you're passing through Miles City, I have a messy, small, and simple apartment that you can use. You'll probably be sleeping on the couch or floor, but I have a sleeping bag!

New ACMAC members?

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:20:15 +0000

Hi Jordan and Rebecca,
Have you all brought the new members on board yet? There is a new VISTA in Missoula that is interested in joining you all. Her name is Jenna Finney. You might have an application from her, but if not just send me a note and I'll get you her contact information. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at BEC.

Carpooling to AmeriCorps Trainings

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:13:08 +0000

Hi all ACMACers!
As the MTCC VISTA Leader I'm starting a new focus on carpooling for AmeriCorps members. Especially when we are all going to the same place there is no need to travel alone in a vehicle. Is anyone on ACMAC down with this? Can I post carpool information for you all and AmeriCorps members on your WIKI? Also, how is everyone doing? Who are the new members? Kay
