The following is a draft outline of the program.
Input and suggestions are desired.
Mission. We would like to set up an organization to find and place volunteers where they are needed throughout the community.
Why?
Because it is needed and because, as a community, we can do more than we do now.
Reference the Colin Powell concepts on volunteerism publicized a few years back.
I believe there are people of all ages who would volunteer their talents if asked.
Teens in the school system.
Adults during their working years.
Retired Folks.
Where – Shawano County
Who – Joe Gellings to do the bulk of the calling people to be volunteers, at least in the beginning. I am willing to do the cold calling.
How should we get going? - A steering committee will be organized. Try to include representatives of groups needing help and groups that can supply help to be on the steering committee to form this committee.
Goals
See if we can do this as an all volunteer project to include the leadership. Try to avoid the need to apply for grants at least initially.
Partner with the Community Education program in the School District for telephone answering and handouts and web site support (their website). Sandy Kane volunteered to do this.
Do most communications by email, blog, local media, and phone.
Contact local media print and radio for help.
Register our web/blog address with Statewide County and Local Civic association lists. Set up links to our web site from other local, county and state websites.
