The Milwaukee Peace Corps Association would like to start a collection of photos of all of our Peace Corps Volunteer service. These photos will be arranged by country alphabetically, then year of service, and then alphabetically by name (your last name is not necessary).
Please email 3 pictures with a one sentence description including name of group or person in the picture and the city and country. Also, please include your name (last name not necessary), country of service, program (TEFL, Health, Agriculture, etc), and date of service.
Please email your photos and questions to:
milwaukee_rpcvs@yahoo.com
Many of us served before the dawn of the digital camera. You can scan your pictures at Walgreens, Target, etc. onto a CD and mail that to:
MILWAUKEE PEACE CORPS ASSOCIATION
P.O. BOX 511322
MILWAUKEE, WI 53203-0221
If you would like the CD returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
The Milwaukee Peace Corps Association is excited to announce our new grant guidelines and application procedures for 2008. We are growing and with that growth, we have increased capacity to support local and international charitable work, through small grants. For more details or to apply see Grant Guidelines and Application.
The next round of grants are due April 30, 2009.
Do you want to meet more newly returned volunteers? Want to meet others who like the same outdoor activities? Want to try a new ethnic restaurant? We invite you to host a social activity and use this listserv to promote it.
Our MPCA network is a great way to connect with others who share an interest in global issues, international travel, ethnic food and music. The MPCA listserv includes RPCVs, prospective volunteers, current volunteers and their family members, and other globally minded individuals.
MPCA sponsors major events each year that provide an opportunity for you to socialize (July summer picnic, November Parent and Family Brunch, December Ethnic Potluck, the Spring send-off, and two Peace Corps Partnership dinners at ethnic restaurants).
But now it's up to you for other activities! The MPCA board and social coordinator have scheduled monthly social activities with limited attendance in the past few years. So we offer you the opportunity to plan something that you want to do and welcome others to join you. Give folks the details they need about location, cost, and how to contact you. (Include your email address as a link so they don't reply to entire listserv).
