Branch Chairman of the Board of Directors Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. c/o Jones, Bird and Howell Haas -Howell Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Branch: The City of Atlanta has been fortunate in having 1nany citizens and groups volunteer their time and services to help resolve important needs in -our community. As the City has grown and the interest and concern of our citizens has increased, it has become more and more difficult to effectively and efficiently utilize volunteers in meeting the needs of the city. It is extremely encouraging to see the efforts being put forth by the Community Council, the Chamber of C o mmerce, the Community Chest and the Atlanta Junior League in developing a vehicle for providing orderly assignment and utilization of volunteer manpower. It is essential that there be a central point wher e by community needs can be catalogued and consolidated and volunteers enlisted and trained to help .fulfill these needs. I believe only through such a coordinated effort can the talents and skills of Atlanta's volunteer citizens be marshalled and utilized to the best advantage of all the people of the city.
