UMVIM and The Advance Brochures

UMVIM Coordinators,

I hope all of you are doing well. I wanted to send an email pointing out just a few things:
1) If you have not received a shipment of the "UMVIM and The Advance" brochures, please let me know. I had at least 200 shipped to each of you for you to use in your UMVIM team-leader trainings. If you have any questions about this brochures or what to say about The Advance during team-leader trainings, please call me. 212-870-3717. Also, contact me if you need more brochures.

2) I have attached a pdf of the brochure so that you can see. Do not print out and use this brochure unless you are able to print it double sided, like the actual brochures. There will be a simpler 1 page 8.5x11 pdf version available shortly.

3) The International and Domestic project listings have been updated with links to the projects' Advance pages at www.umvim.info. Lorna Jost (NEJ) and the SEJ office helped me make it so volunteers can click on a project's Advance number to learn more about the project and donate online. Please peruse the lists and click on a few projects so that you are familiar with this feature. Then share it with persons at UMVIM trainings and events.

4) I am creating a new page for the UMVIM training manual about The Advance. If there are any common questions you get regarding The Advance which I could address, please let me know.

Also, please let me know if you have been able to use the brochures and if you think they are helpful. And please give feedback on the clickable project listings. I'm here to help you resource your volunteers and help our projects create long term partnerships with teams. Let me know if I can assist you better in any way. If your email has changed, please inform. Thank you.
