The Savannah River Chapter of the Project Management Institute is helping to sponsor a Project Serve work team for this year's Project Serve work day. Project Serve is a United Way initiative to provide volunteer work teams at their agency facilities throughout the CSRA. Project Serve this year is being held Friday, April 25. Teams disperse to their assigned agency sites after a welcome breakfast in Augusta that morning. Our team will perform an assortment of tasks including landscaping, painting, minor repairs and miscellaneous improvements at the Shiloh Community Center in Augusta. We anticipate a work team of approximately 25 people. Please consider joining us for this very worthwhile day of service and fellowship. A home cooked lunch will be provided. Please contact Dan Armstrong at (803) 507-8265 or vp-administration@pmi-savannahriver.org for details.Dec. 7, 2007 thru May 2008 - GAAC Camera Project
The Greater Augusta Arts Council (GAAC) has asked for our help. The GAAC was recently awarded a Georgia E Challenge Grant from the Georgia Tourism Foundation to promote tourism in Augusta. In summary, the project will install a camera at the James Brown statue on Broad Street, take a photo by simply dialing a phone number, transmit the photo from the camera to the GAAC website via a wireless link, and allow the tourists to retrieve the photo from the GAAC website. The GAAC website also has a calendar of art events in Augusta which will hopefully interest the tourists. The grant requires the project to be completed by May 2008.
Roger Duke, PMP will be the project manager for this project and is requesting 4 or 5 chapter members to volunteer as members of the project team. If you have an interest in photography, experience in wireless information technology, have corporate contacts in this field, or just want to be a part of the project team, then please don’t hesitate and help us make this project a success. If you are interested in volunteering, or would like more information about the SRC's project, then please contact Roger Duke at: rduke@energysolutions.com as soon as possible.
