Re: Volunteers -- Solutions/Ideas

Possible solution for sources of volunteers:

1. I have written a grant proposal to use a team of Americorps-NCCC volunteers for the past 4 years at the Chesapeake Regional. Here is the wonderful team from this past year: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/31092

It appears that Michigan has a fairly active Americorps program. I would suggest that the Michigan planning structure look into this program to see if a team could be used going from event to event. Housing would need to be found for the team, unless they are within about 50 miles of their base.

2. Connect with the Michigan Volunteer Centers. http://www.michigan.gov/mcsc/0,1607,...115---,00.html
