VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Win a trip to Washington, D.C. for one of your volunteers!
ACT is pleased to announce it is accepting nominations for Volunteer of the Year. This is an opportunity for ACT members to share inspirational accounts of volunteers in action and have them gain national recognition for their local contributions! This award is open to any individual (board member, community organizer, pro bono consultant, etc.) whose volunteer efforts have made a contribution to urban forestry by improving community trees and the neighborhoods which they are in.

SPOTLIGHT
Leveraging NeighborWoods Materials
Shreveport Green has had NeighborWoods Month 2008 on their calendar since last October. So when it came time for early registration, they qualified for 50 free NeighborWoods Month Tshirts. Then, using their NeighborWoods Month Mini-Grant, they applied for 50 additional shirts. So now on October 25, their South Highlands NeighborWoods Day will not only leverage the national campaign, but also be a clear picture of volunteer service in action among a sea of "Mix It Up" green shirts. Pretty smart.
