Americorps Week!

Mark your calendars for May 8-15th! This week has been named the 3rd annual Americorps Week!

Some of you may ask, what is Americorps Week? Americorps has helped us out and provided some good websites with descriptions of what the week means and what we are supposed to do to participate.

Americorps Week is a recruitment and recognition event created to encourage more Americans to serve, salute the VISTAs who have worked so hard and to thank all the people who make Americorps possible.

So what activities should we plan to make this week a success? We are challenged to all come up with an idea to share at the next VISTA training meeting (don't forget to bring your favorite cereal)

So start brainstorming. Continue reading Americorps sites to help you generate some ideas!
