As you know, the AmeriCorps Team in Dade County, Florida
has been extraordinarily successful. All of the existing
members have expressed an interest in continuing in the
program if the site is renewed for FY 97. The AmeriCorps
Team in Duval County, Florida has been less than fully
successful.
Accordingly, we are seeking to renew the Dade County
Program for FY 97 with slightly revised Community Service
Objectives (CSOs). We are also seeking to convert the
Duval County Program to the South Florida Urban Community
Assistance Program (SFUCAP) Office in Broward County,
Florida. We have developed a new set of CSOs for SFUCAP.
The AmeriCorps Program ethic fits closely with the ideals
and objectives of SFUCAP. The SFUCAP Coordinator has
tremendous experience in managing large, diverse Earth Team
groups.
Enclosed are the five new CSOs for SFUCAP in Broward
County, Florida and four revised CSOs for Dade County,
Florida.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

Enclosed is the third quarterly report for our AmeriCorps
projects in Dade and Duval counties.
Included is a clipping from The Times Union newspaper and
various other advertisements describing the Mobile
Irrigation Laboratory (MIL) services provided by the Duval
County AmeriCorps Team. Also included is a letter from a
Jacksonville resident who received MIL services thanking
the AmeriCorps Team for a "job well done."
Both the Duval and Dade county AmeriCorps Teams

tragedy. A report of this event and other conservation
efforts accomplished by both teams are enclosed.
