This month's quiz

For the next ten months, the Commission will celebrate its own anniversary and accomplishments.

The milestone coincides with a similar celebraton of both the establishment of AmeriCorps and the creation of CNCS.

For this month's prize, the question relates to the regional CNCS staff and the answer was in a set of minutes used at the October Board retreat!

During the first 2 years of MCCS existence, there was a Maine office of CNCS with a staff person who oversaw the programs in the state. When the office was combined with NH and VT to create the tri-state office we've known for the last 8 years, that person resigned and took a position with Job Corps in Aroostook County.
