ACT is pleased to announce it is accepting nominations for Volunteer

inspirational accounts of volunteers in action and have them gain  
national recognition for their local contributions! This award is open  
to any individual (board member, community organizer, pro bono  
consultant, etc.) whose volunteer efforts have made a contribution to  
urban forestry by improving community trees and the neighborhoods  
which they are in.

SPOTLIGHT
Leveraging NeighborWoods Materials
Shreveport Green has had NeighborWoods Month 2008 on their calendar  
since last October. So when it came time for early registration, they  
qualified for 50 free NeighborWoods Month Tshirts. Then, using their  
NeighborWoods Month Mini-Grant, they applied for 50 additional shirts.  
So now on October 25, their South Highlands NeighborWoods Day will not  
only leverage the national campaign, but also be a clear picture of  
volunteer service in action among a sea of "Mix It Up" green shirts.  
Pretty smart.
