What 92s New
The Chatham Citizen Corps Council is now a free standing Non-Profit Organization. With its inception, the Council has now been approved for 9 VISTA positions to continue building the capacity of the Homeland Security Programs the Council oversees. New VISTA 92s should start arriving around May, with the VISTA program lasting for 3 years. The non-profit status will now enable the council to pursue grant opportunities. We are now recruiting VISTA members to develop our volunteer programs CERT, MRC, Teen SERT, Fire Prevention and Safety, Community Watch and the Council itself. If you know of anyone who would like to work as a VISTA, please have them contact Jamie Dickens immediately at 663-1181.
