• We assisted the Peace Corps with its annual recruitment drives (March, September and November 2003) in the Fairbanks area.  Several of our returned volunteers participated in a slide presentations for the community at the public library.  We now are doing all of the recruitment drives in the Fairbanks area for the Peace Corps and receiving a small fee for our efforts.  The Peace Corps is unable to justify the expense of sending their recruiters to Alaska.
