SUBJECT:
Year-to-Date Data on Objectives and Member Forms
Attached is a "year-to-date" progress report showing accomplishments on objectives through the
third quarter report. This data, plus the fourth quarter data, will be provided to members of
Congress representing your state and to your agency leaders. It is imperative that the
information reflected in this report be as accurate as possible. The report also shows the
degree to which you have accomplished your objectives which were agreed to at the beginning of
this program year.
I ask that you carefully review this report. Review each objective with the following items in
mind:
1. Accuracy of the data. This information will be shared with many different groups,
and it is important to be accurate in our reporting as well as getting credit for all the great work
you have done during the year.
2. Completion of community service objectives. One way to determine the successful
completion of objectives is to measure accomplishments against the target quantity measurement
which you established at the beginning of the year. The table below gives you a snapshot picture
of your accomplishments through the third quarter. The last five columns reflects your work
measured against the target quantity.

3. Program codes. Review the program code for each of your objectives. Please be sure
that the data you are recording for quantity matches the quantity for that program code. For
example, the quantity measurement for program code R026A is the number of homes repaired.
Your data must reflect the actual number of people homes actually repaired. If you are counting
something other than the quantity measurement for the code, please indicate exactly what you are
counting.
4. Congressional Districts. Please indicate in which Congressional District(s) the work
was actually accomplished. This will let us be very specific to Members of Congress as to what
work was done in their district.
5. Volunteers. Please explain what the volunteers have done with your AmeriCorps
members. Also ensure that the volunteer numbers you have been providing to us each quarter is
for the quarter only, not cumulative for the year.
Your assistance in this reporting enables us to meet our legal obligations as well as providing us
with the necessary information to promote our USDA AmeriCorps program to all interested
parties. Providing this data in an accurate and timely manner is one of your most important duties
as an AmeriCorps Project Director.
Member Forms
A review of your member forms reveals that your forms are up-to-date. Great job.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact Dee DiFiore at (202) 690-3051 or Ron
DeMunbrun at (202) 690-3894.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

SECTION V - SUCCESS STORIES:
18. Unique Successes or Great Stories : Briefly describe one or two unique and/or exceptional success
stories, a program highlight, or a 'great story' from your state. Please explain any instance in which
AmeriCorps Members recruited non-AmeriCorps community volunteers for projects. Please include all
media coverage, including original newspaper clips, videotapes of TV coverage, and cassette tapes of
radio coverage; any letters of support or thank you letters; "before and after" photographs, brochures,
posters, and newsletters created by the project; and other types of creative documentation.
PSIA
One of the success stories this quarter involves a family of tenant farmers.
The elderly family consists of the husband, wife, and an unmarried son. The
family was forced to leave the home they occupied when the owner of the farm
decided to sell the property. The families income was very low and they were
unable to get the credit they needed to purchase a home of their own. After
several months in the application process, and in the construction of their new
home, I am pleased to announce that the family has just moved into their new
home. If it had not been for the 502 program, this family may have been without
any place to live.
PSIA
The other success story involves a 72 year old woman. The woman's well went
dry and she was having barrels of water delivered to her home by the local fire
department every week. The AmeriCorp worker helped the applicant through the
entire application, loan, and grant process; and I am pleased to announce the
elderly woman has a new well and pump. So, she no longer has to carry water into
her home.
SECTION VI - CHALLENGES
19. Difficulties Faced by the Program: Use this section to report on any problems your Members have

expectations, events or incidents that have caused the Members concern. State the problem concisely and
how the issue has, or has not been resolved. Be sure to outline the steps taken and identify any resources
needed to assist in resolving the problem.

The only difficulty encountered during this quarter was delays in the completion
of several repair jobs, due to the extreme weather conditions. This accounts
for the lack of repairs to homes being completed in the second quarter.

The success story this quarter involves an elderly woman who is one-half
Cherokee indian. The woman's house was in desperate need of repairs. The
roof was falling down, and leaking severely. Also, several of the windows
were so deteriorated they were ready to fall out of the house. The AmeriCorp
worker helped the woman through the entire application process. We are pleased
to report that all of the repairs were completed before the winter weather
set in.
SECTION VI- CHALLENGES

encountered in the program this period. These should be significant issues which were related to
achieving objectives, significant delays in implementation, administrative problems, or any other
expectations, events or incidents that have caused the Members concern. State the problem concisely and
how the issue has, or has not been resolved. Be sure to outline the steps taken and identify any resources
needed to assist in resolving the problem.
The only major problem faced by the AmeriCorp member this quarter was the closing
of the Jonesville County office, and the re-location to the Gate City County office.
It was an adjustment for everyone in the office. This problem was not at problem cause
by the AmeriCorp program. It did cause B. delay in the processing of applications
since all the equiptment and files were being packed for the move. This is no longer
a problem, and everyone has adjusted to the move.
