Ms. Curtis basically initiated OPERATION P.R.I.D.E. for the
Bowling Green community to assist the people (local
residents) to improve their own community in both physical
appearance and also to establish a sense of price and self
esteem. Attached is a copy of the pamphlet that is
distributed to interested individuals that explains the
mission of Operation P.R.I.D.E.
I have nominated Ms. Curtis for this award for the following
reasons:
She assisted the USDA/RECD AmeriCorps member, Lisa
Hines, in locating affordable housing in the Bowling
Green area. Without her assistance Lisa probably
could not have served.
From the very beginning she has make Lisa welcome in
the community and created an atmosphere in which Lisa,
in just six short months, feels a part of the community.
She introduced her to local public officials and make
sure an introduction to the community was properly
portrayed through the newspaper. (See attached)
Ms. Curtis always introduces Lisa as an AmeriCorps
member providing community service to Bowling Green.
As her day to day supervisor, Ms. Curtis provides Lisa
with overall supervision but gives her almost complete
freedom to organize, implement and achieve her
objective.
Ms. Curtis is also an individual that contributes many
volunteer (unpaid hours) to her community.
I recommend that the Champion Community of Bowling Green,
Kentucky be considered for this award because they did not
see themselves as losers when they applied as an Enterprise
Community but were not selected. Rather they have moved
forward with implementing portions of their strategy plan and
the USDA/RECD AmeriCorps member Lisa Hines is doing an
excellent job.

03-15-96
Dear Joel;
I am nominating the community of Caribou for the community award. The City
of Caribou has done wonders for its people. They have allowed me to use all their
resources in performing my job the best that I can.
I have been to many meetings in Caribou and when I get up to ask for volunteers
to do work on the trails I usually will get between 10 and 20 at a time. All of the
departments have commented on the great job that the Americorps program has had on
the community.
The City of Caribou is recognized from Kittery to Fort Kent as the place to go for
recreation, snowmobiling and most of all to live.
In recognition of the hard work that the Americorps program has done for the city
of Caribou, they had to signs made up that have the Americorps logo on it. Both signs
are out on the trails entering the Caribou area.
I feel very strongly that the City of Caribou be seriously considered for the award.
The citizens of Caribou have opened their doors to the Americorps program, and they
feel that the program has done an invaluable job for their community. Once the program
is done the citizens have agreed to continue the work that the program started. Thank
you for you're time, if you have any questions please feel free and call 207-493-4224.
Thank You

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
COMMUNITY AWARD NARRATIVE (KANSAS)
The community encompassing the City of Hays and Fort Hays
State University is nominated for the community award
because of the way they have accepted and worked with the
Big Creek AmeriCorps team.
The City and the University community have provided
equipment and materials for use in clearing debris out of
Big Creek and for the installation of stream habitat
restoration features
The Hays city newspaper and the University student paper
have published several articles publicizing and applauding
the AmeriCorps members and the program.
The restoration of the Big Creek stream and public use
corridor has raised the level of community service awareness
in Hays and even the surrounding rural communities. AE a
result of this awareness and example provided by the
AmeriCorps team this project is expected to be sustained and
and the public use area utilized by the community for many
years. Additional community service projects are already
being spawned by their example.
Over 18 volunteers representing 116 hours of volunteer
community service have occurred in the community as a result
of the AmeriCorps members and their willingness to provide
community service. Community service areas include:
environment, museums, Fort Hays State University facilities,
high school students, senior citizens, children, and
physically and mentally challenged citizens.
Service to mentally challenged citizens in the community is
exemplified by their painting of the Association for
Retarded Citizens' (ARC) thrift shop. Members of the ARC
were SO pleased with the service of the members that they
presented each member with a certificate, a banner signed by
all of the ARC members, and an oversized thank you card
delivered to the AmeriCorps Members.
Acceptance and appreciation of the service to the community
at large and the museums in particular is reflected in the
comments of Fick Fossil and History Museum Curator, Nancy
Baalman. Ms. Baalman writes, " The quality of the work
and the professional attitude of the team members reflects
well upon the AmeriCorps project
AmeriCorps has helped
shape the future of the community by assisting in the
preservation of the past."

Representatives of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's
Administrative Office, Tribal Land Enterprise, Water
Resources, Natural Resources, and Forestry Departments in
addition to Sinte Gleska University and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs formed an advisory committee for the Rosebud
AmeriCorps Team. The members of this advisory committee
helped select the AmeriCorps team members, developed the
objectives and action items for the team, and are currently
providing assistance in the implementation of the AmeriCorps
projects. Committee members assisted with the location of
facilities for the AmeriCorps team, provided the publicity
for the recruitment of applicants for the team. Forty eight
applications were reviewed and most of the applicants were
interviewed by the advisory committee during the selection
process.
The Rosebud Sioux Tribe, through the representatives on
the advisory committee have made the Rosebud AmeriCorps
Project a success in the community. The Tribal Council,
through their Land and Natural Committee, is supporting the
individual projects being accomplished on the Rosebud
Reservation in South Central South Dakota. This support
truly enhances the success and ease of operating the total
project.

Somewhere in the fabric of our nation is a golden thread which
represents the American dream of "homeownership". Unfortunately many
Americans are unable to make that dream a reality. In St. Mary Parish we are
fortunate to have someone with a vision of helping our residents reach the
goal of homeownership. That someone is Jeffery Beverly.
Mr. Beverly has an overwhelming desire to be of assistance in an
innovative manner to the low-income population of our parish. As such an
individual, he inspires those around him to take notice of the needs of the
community and after doing so to set out to do something about meeting those
needs.
Jeffery Beverly merits the USDA Manager of the Year Award because
of his efforts to help the AmeriCorps program to be successful in St. Mary
Parish. His long time involvement in community service warrants great
attention. His commitment to providing affordable housing to his community
is never failing. The dedication to assisting the AmeriCorps member under
his supervision with community service projects above and beyond stated
objectives is outstanding.
As a USDA AmeriCorps Manager he has done an excellent job of
instilling in member the importance of giving back to the community. The
supervision given by Mr. Beverly has been more than adequate providing the
member with exceptional skills in dealing with citizens and solving problems.
Under such leadership, AmeriCorps members must flourish and the
AmeriCorps vision of getting things done is a reality.

STATE AWARD NARRATIVE (KANSAS):
Kansas is nominated for the State Award because it has demonstrated a
true USDA cooperative example in carrying out the USDA AmeriCorps
program. Kansas program leaders have developed an attitude of
cooperation throughout the program including cooperation by USDA and
state and local agencies. The Kansas program staff has also provided
significant leadership and assistance to the program nationally in efforts to
get the program up and running. The Kansas USDA-AmeriCorps program
has effectively demonstrated how to "get things done."
Cluster meetings are held regularly with Kansas USDA teams and non-USDA
teams. Kansas USDA teams have clustered several times with the Bridges
Across the Heartland AmeriCorps team, Kansas City, Missouri. USDA
teams have clustered with the Kansas Health and Safety Extension Corps
(KHSEC) team and jointly participated in a one-day farm safety instruction to
165 youngsters. USDA clustering involves extra community service
projects and individual improvement training such as: defensive driving,
CPR, first aid, sexual harassment, HIV/AIDS awareness, and conflict
resolution.
Individual member needs are met through a variety of methods including
acquiring government surplus clothing, boots, and equipment. The project
facilitator visits each site frequently to make personal contact with each
member to identify potential problems and observe team accomplishments.
The Project Director and Facilitator participate with the State Community
Commission Director, the State Director for the Corporartion for National
Community Service, and non-USDA project managers in planning for joint
community service projects and special emphasis activities.
The project facilitator has maintained continual contact with state and local
newspapers and television media personnel in providing information and
encouraging coverage of special events and general publicity of the
program.
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency
(FSA) have effectively cooperated to jointly manage and carry out the
USDA-AmeriCorps program in Kansas. A joint management team has been
set up to include NRCS, FSA, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks
(KDWP), and the Shawnee County Conservation District. NRCS and FSA
have cooperated jointly by providing a project director, project facilitator,
common office space, travel support and support equipment.
Twenty separate State and local agencies have been involved in carrying out
the USDA-AmeriCorps program in Kansas including State agencies, cities,
and local conservation districts.
The AmeriCorps program in Kansas has effectively shown how partner
agencies and groups can accomplish significant results working together.

Louisiana is a great state to be an AmeriCorps Member in.
It has provided me the opportunity to grow and to help my community,
my state, and my country. Louisiana is called "the Dream State"
and through my Louisiana AmeriCorps service, I am able to not only
see my dreams come true, but to help others see theirs come true
as well.
