Re: Volunteer Citizens Services

Dear Mayor Allen: oy

I am writing to you as Chairman of the Board of the
Community Council of the Atlanta Area. I, and the others
who will be with me, appreciate and look forward to talking
with you on next Wednesday afternoon, March 5, regarding a
plan for the greater use of individual and group volunteers
in the Atlanta area.

Those with me on Wednesday will be Dede Hamilton,
who is the current President of the Atlanta Junior League,
and John DeBorde, who is the representative of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce working with us on our volunteer project.
You perhaps know John. He is the general agent here for New
England Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Some months ago there was a meeting of representatives
of the Community Council, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and
E.0O.A. at which we discussed the possibilities of jointly
establishing a means of making a more effective use of volun-
teers. Dan Sweat was also present and is generally familiar
with what has taken place. Following this meeting there was
a larger luncheon meeting of about 16 or 17 organizations at
which there was a general discussion of the same subject. A
Steering Committee was appointed to formulate a means of ef-
fectively recruiting, screening, training, and placing of
public items show
