AmeriCorps members complete 2007-08 service year

We said goodbye to our 2007-08 group of AmeriCorps members in late  June. These young men and women came from all over the U.S. to spend a year of their lives volunteering for the Ijams Earth Flag program.

During their service they worked with 24 area elementary and middle schools to enhance their recycling and composting efforts. They also provided quality environmental education in each of their schools. They each completed over 1700 hours of community service. One of these events happened to be the community waste audit in Halls. We wish each of these individuals the best of luck in their future endeavors. Pictured above from left to right are: Megan Shapiro, Ashley Rex, Sejal Shah, Laura Mitchell, Natalie Metz, Pam Trousdale (who is staying with us for another year) and Josh Cousins. Thank you for your dedication and service.
