[Community-service] Community service group CORPS committee

[Chris Parsons]

Hi all,



I am a co-chair of the Community Organizing, Recruitment, and Participation Subcommittee (CORPS), a committee within the larger community service group. The purpose of the CORPS is to network with state affiliates to get people involved in talking about community service and doing service projects on a local level.



I’m writing to see if any of you would be interested in helping out with this effort. We are looking for people who would be willing to ask for a time slot on the general session agenda of their next state convention to give a short (five- to ten-minute) presentation on the community service group—its purpose, history, and main projects.



We will be having a CORPS conference call on Thursday, September 15 at 8:00 PM EST. If you are interested in giving a presentation at your state convention, we’d like you to attend this call so that we can give you some additional information about the presentation and answer any questions you may have. Please e-mail me at Christine-parsons at sbcglobal.net if you are interested in giving a presentation. Also let me know in that e-mail if you will be attending the call on September 15.



This particular conference call will focus on states with conventions from now until the end of 2011. I have provided a list of those states below. If your state is not on this list but you would be interested in giving a presentation, e-mail me and let me know what state you’re from, and I’ll put your name on our contact list and get in touch with you closer to the time of your state convention.
