Good Morning Megan


Thank you for attending our meeting last evening and for giving us some 
background on the SNWMC. We discussed your request for office space for 
an intern for a 12 month period and we are please to say that we would 
like to accomodate your request.

First I should give you a little background on Clean North.

We are a not-for-profit registered charity composed of a dozen core 
volunteers who coordinate community environmental projects. We have a 
list of over 100 members/volunteers whom we can rely on to carry out our 
projects. We operate a "storefront" information office which is 
presently staffed (sporadically) by volunteers and funded by proceeds of 
our projects and voluntary charitable donations. It costs us about $1200 
per month to operate our office and we are constantly in search of 
revenues to keep the doors open.

Having said that, we would be delighted to offer you the space and would 
hope that you could find the funds for $200 per month rent. Should the 
monies not be available, we would still like to accomodate your request 
because you would be helping us to service our larger "community" which 
extends from Wawa to Blind River.

As outlined at the meeting, should your intern be located in our office 
we would expect them to meet/greet the public and offer assistance when 
other volunteers are not present. We would provide you with a phone and 
computer/internet access through your own "account".

You would have to provide your own liability insurance and WSIB coverage.

Hopefully this will work for both parties and we look forward to hearing 
from you.

Sincerely

Peter McLarty
