May 2008

I hope everything is going well for you as summer approaches!

Reminder

Progress and fiscal reports and this year’s Institutionalization Checklist are due soon—by June 15. You’ll find a new (slightly shorter) Progress Report form on the Hub (https://bonner.grouphub.com/login) along with the Fiscal Forms workbook and the Institutionalization Checklist.

Also, LASSIE reports must be completed online by June 30. Log-in information was sent to you (each campus’s primary contact) via email in late March/early April.

If you need help accessing any of this information, please let me know right away. We do need your reports so that we can send complete year-end information to our funder, Learn and Serve at the Corporation for National and Community Service.
