How to Create Voice Email
[See More] http://www.mys.ca/volunter/how-to
Voice e-mail is one productivity application that non-profit organizations should be using to communicate with their online volunteers. There are certain situations where text-based e-mail is not as effective or efficient as voice e-mail in conveying a message to your Internet-based volunteers.
As part of the how to multimedia best practices publication about Online Volunteering Randy Tyler is currently developing, MYS online volunteer Yu Cheng created an easy-to-follow instructional video that shows how to download, install, configure, record and send a voice e-mail message using a PC-based application called “Audio Record Wizard” (please note: there are other similar programs such as NCH’s “Vemail Voice Email”).

THE CAMP ORD STAKES – 1938
THE CAMP ORD STAKES – Memorial Day athletic event designed to test the training and endurance of officers and men. This clip depicts horsemanship, marksmanship, and quick thinking – all attributes of a good soldier – in 1938!
The US Army had won the Spanish-American war in large measure due to the volunteers who answered the call to “Remember the Maine”. The Regular Army was expanded and on 2 February, 1901, Congress added five cavalry regiments. The 11th Cavalry was formed and designated to live in history as “The Blackhorse”.
This film clip is from the Herman Croninger collection at the Military History Institute, part of the Army Heritage and Education Center, located in Carlisle, PA.
The Army’s last campaign on horseback was the Punitive Expedition 1916, officially refers to as “the Mexican Expedition”. The official beginning and ending dates are March 14, 1916 and February 7, 1917. The cavalry began transitioning to a mounted, mechanized force so this film, shot in 1938, depicts the final days of the of the cavalry on horseback.
This film was transferred to vhs tape, and then reformatted to a digital copy. While the original film has not survived, the images take us back to a time when Army transportation required both the care, and feeding of horses.

One Million Faces – LOVE
Don’t miss Peggy’s first solo show for her One Million Faces project! It is spectacular! Come see the images behind the project!
OM…One Million Faces is hanging in the Lincoln gallery at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. (2130 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 444-0202, www.naropa.edu) through March 19th, 2010.
The OM show features numerous original works mixed media collages created by Peggy and members of the community from the photographs Peggy has taken during the past 8 months.
Peggy Dyer is traveling the country, dotting the map for her causes seeking out community events and local hot spots to host her photo-booth style shoots. Charitable contributions will be collected on-site and additional donations can be made through the official website “http://www.onemillionfaces.org” Each face captured in a photo is a memory of how One Million Faces can impact our world.
While the portrait of America unfolds, potentially millions of dollars can be raised for charities nationwide. Currently, The One Million Faces project donates their time and funds to the following charities: Davis Phinney Foundation, The Chanda Plan, Team 25 – The Shjon Podein Children`s Foundation, MESA (Moving To End Sexual Assault) Program, and Rett Syndrome Research Trust.
This modern art project began with an idea on February 26th, 2009. The first photo shoot event manifested on February 28th, 2009 and Peggys friend Angie was the first of one million faces. Peggy has been tip-toeing around the nation and could come to a city near you soon. She has been in Florida, Alabama, Missouri, North Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin just to name a few. In case you are wondering who will be the #1,000,000 face, Peggy hopes it can be President Barack Obama.
To date, Peggy has photographed 1,334 faces towards her goal for The One Million Faces Project.
What number will you be?

Rett Syndrome Research Trust http://www.rsrt.org/
The goal of the Rett Syndrome Research Trust is to deliver clinical trials of a novel treatment strategy within five years.
Every five hours a girl is born with Rett Syndrome! Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder that primarily affects your girls and women. For the first year or so, the girls with RS seem perfectly normal, but then they can lose the ability to walk, talk and use their hands properly. As the girls grow older, they often develop seizures, breathing disorders, scoliosis, and other difficulties. There currently is no known cure or treatment, but there is hope. On February 8th 2007, a breakthrough discovery was announced. Scientists have reversed the symptoms of RS in mice, giving us all hope that this can also be done for girls suffering from RS.

Should I take a volunteering position at an autism summer camp?
I had an interview at a volunteering centre and I was offered a position at an autism summer camp, I have no prior experience working with children but I am a unversity student planning to continue my education in the field of healthcare, should I take this position? Will it be helpful for me in applying to professional healthcare programs like physical therapy?
yeah, most defiantly, you can use the experience, when it come time for going into that filed, not only will you know already what to expect, but yu can also get references from the camp that will help you , volunteering opens the door to many things, and this one will be a good one for you, besides university like it when you volunteer
Should I get a job this next or volunteer?
I’m 18, about to start college . This summer I had a BLAST volunteering at the center I go to. But I have never had job experience at all. I can’t get one on campus because of income, and not getting one during the school year. But I really want to go back next summer and volunteer, but I really want a job so I can get generate income & have experience. I can only pick one. Which one should I lean into?
and ok what keeps me coming back are these hot guys that work at the volunteer center.
But seriously, what should I do & why? I got really attathed to volunteering, will I let go by next summer?
(I only volunteer this summer because I couldn’t find a job)
Volunteering is wonderful experience and community spirit is a great asset to a resume.
But it doesn’t provide needed income.
Ideally (if your studies don’t suffer), you could do some of both.
