Member Benefits
Evanston 02 Aug 2009 17:34
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.
