AmeriCorps Alums Pittsburgh Chapter is Back in the Game!

Ok, so I know it's been exactly 16 days since our last post but there has been sooo much going on in the AmeriCorps KEYS office and in the community in general! I just don't even know where to begin! There are awesome things in the works! With that being said, instead of overwhelming you all in one post about a ton of stuff, I've decided to attempt to stick with one topic per post, rather than going on tangents and digressing...which clearly I'm about to do, so let's just get to the point shall we?

AmeriCorps Alums Pittsburgh Chapter is finally back in the game! I am now the Chapter Leader for the AC Alums Pittsburgh Chapter. I served two terms of service with AmeriCorps KEYS in 2001/2002. I am now a staff member with AmeriCorps KEYS.

I want to first point out that you DO NOT have to have already completed a term of service to join the chapter. You CAN be a current member. So please do not let that stop you from joining!

With that being said, I would like to get the Pittsburgh Chapter back in the game! I think the first step is to get feed back from you all to see what you want to get out of the chapter as a member and what role you want AC Alums to play in our community.

Ideally, I'd like to meet with you all in the next couple of weeks and have an open discussion about these topics and go from there. So, if you are interested in becoming more involved in the Pittsburgh Chapter, please contact me no later than Monday, March 24 and let me know what days and times are good for you to meet and from that information I will set up a meeting time and place for our first meeting.

If you have any questions about anything regarding AmeriCorps KEYS, AmeriCorps in general, AmeriCorps Alums, etc please do not hesitate to ask!

As I said, there are many things in the works for AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Alums in the Greater Pittsburgh area, so keep your eyes and ears open!
