On November 18, 2010, more than 500 Michigan's AmeriCorps*State, VISTA, and National Direct members gathered together for a day of training, teambuilding, networking, and festivities. Each fall the Michigan Community Service Commission hosts the Michigan's AmeriCorps Member Celebration. This year's Celebration was held at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing.
The Celebration highlighted the various streams of service within the national service family, including AmeriCorps*State and National, VISTA, Senior Corps, and Learn and Serve. At lunch, AmeriCorps members heard from a keynote speaker and watched an improv troupe.
The Celebration also offered several workshops focused on leadership, professional development, service project planning, and other topics relevant to members' year of service. The day's events not only helped members see the impact their AmeriCorps service has on communities throughout Michigan, but the Celebration also helped members understand they are part of a significant national movement.
The swearing-in ceremony concludeds the Member Celebration by reaffirming members' commitment to AmeriCorps and national service. The Celebration was an exciting day that served as a springboard for a successful program year.
