It's going to provide us with a network of people who do similar work without traveling to points unknown - saving us time and money. Thank you for the great ideas, Noble. I'm helping some organizations get "reorganized" and these ideas will come in handy. Penny I’m excited about this blog.

This is one way to developing a virtual peer to peer network with others in the field. We think you will enjoy it.

The MCCS has recently taken a number of steps to insure that all segments of the voluntee initiative are fully informed and have clear line access to a host of volunteer information to make the experience both satisfying and awarding for the volunteer and also of enormous benefit to the organization. Having been invovled with serving and sevicing volunteers around the country for over 4 decades, Maine is certainly a recognized leader in this important segment of our society.
