DESCRIPTION : For the past three years, the city council
has approved free use of the Regional Meeting Room by the Valley
Volunteer Center for their management assistance workshop series for
the nonprofit community. The Valley Volunteer Center is once again
aSking for the city's support of this-program by making the Regional
Meeting Room available at no charge for their 1993/94 workshops.
During 1992/93, the valley Volunteer Center conducted 20 seminars in
Dublin which were attended by over 325 nonprofit staff members,
volunteers and board members. The seminars were designed to provide
information to local community based organizations so that they can
stay current on topics crucial for a nonprofit's well-being.
Presenters spoke on topics such as personnel management, time
management, media relations and legal aspects of screening volunteers.
As stated in the attached correspondence from Program Director
Christine Lafferty, they are requesting use for a maximum of 25
separate workshops and have indicated that the scheduling of these
workshops can be fairly flexible so as to not interfere with city use.
As was done during the previous three years, the workshops would be
scheduled on a quarterly basis for Fall, Winter and Spring, and the
actual workshop dates would be selected approximately six weeks to
two months prior to the start of the quarter.
If the city were to charge the Valley volunteer Center for use of the
Regional Meeting Room as requested, the revenue generated would total
approximately $1,450. However, by waiving these use fees, the city
would become a major donor for the Valley Volunteer Center and be
listed as such on the major donor list.
It is the recommendation of Staff that the City council consider the
request from the Valley Volunteer Center for use of the Regional
Meeting Room at no cost for 25 Nonprofit Management Services workshops
between September of 1993 through June of 1994.

Dear Diane,
Plans are under way for our 1993-1993 management assistance workshop
series for the nonprofit community.
As in past few years. I am requesting to use the Regional Meeting Room for our
training site. We plan to hold 20 half day workshops and 5 full day workshops
between September 12, 1993 and June 20. 1994. We would work with your
department in scheduling the workshops so as not to conflict with the city's use of
the room.
Many nonprofit organizations are facing massive cutbacks and affordable training
is critical. We intend to maintain our current fee structures ($35 for half day
workshops, $65 for full day) in order to make the workshops affordable for the
vast majority of agencies in the area.
We are very pleased to list the City of Dublin as a major donor and to acknowledge
the city's support on the workshop materials.
Thank you for considering this request. I would be happy to provide any
additional support materials you might require and we are open to doing whatever
we can to continue our partnership with the city.
Sincerely,
r!;I~
