Resources
The following resources will support you as you plan and execute your club’s event as part of Cavaliers Care:
 Broadcast e-mail
This message will be from your club through our office to all alumni, families, and friends and will announce your club’s specific 2008 Cavaliers Care Worldwide project(s). It will direct volunteers to the Cavaliers Care website to register to participate in your club’s event.
Registration links
Friendly links to your club’s specific club project(s) will be provided two weeks after receipt of time/place/date details. These links can appear on your club’s website and in broadcast e-mail messages.
Automatic Notification
When a participant registers online, you may receive an automatic notification containing the participant’s contact information and other relevant details. This enables you to keep up with responses in real time. However, you can also ask your REO to supply lists of registrants.
Regional Engagement Officer
This person will be a resource for you as you plan and execute the volunteer project in your city. From brainstorming project ideas to helping with communications tools to draw out participants, your REO is an additional resource. Your REO, however, is not the lead on your program, since she or he will be assisting more than one club.
Cavaliers Care Website
The Cavaliers Care website (http://uvaclubs.virginia.edu/cavalierscare) will keep you updated on the latest developments regarding the worldwide program. This site also allows you to submit key information on your project to the University of Virginia’s Office of Engagement specifically for members in your area. An online form to submit this information will be available soon.
Strategies, Tips & Tricks
Various helpful hints on planning and executing your volunteer event will also be available. These hints will be posted on the Cavaliers Care website and you will be able to add your suggestions, too.
Madison House Alumni List
If requested, your REO can help you to contact Madison House alumni in your area. Because of their involvement in Madison House while at U.Va., these potential volunteers may be more inclined to get involved in this program. You may potentially reach new alumni, families, and friends for club involvement through this list and this program.
T-shirts
As a token of your club’s appreciation to volunteers for coming out and joining in the service project, high-quality T-shirts will be available for distribution during the event. Please discuss quantities with your REO.
