Dear Sandra,Namaste! My name is Rajeev Goyal (Nepal 01-03). As the National Coordinator of the MorePeaceCorps.org Campaign, I am reaching out to members of the Peace Corps community across Ohio to ask you host a MorePeaceCorps.org House Party!With 84 parties confirmed in 30 states and 9 countries, including parties in Kabul, Micronesia, Jakarta, Taiwan, Barcelona, and Santiago, the MorePeaceCorps 100 House Parties effort is becoming a global phenomenon!By registering today to host a September 6th House Party, you can put us over the top! It's very easy and fun to do. You control whether your party is a private affair or a public event. If you would like, we can even help publicize to local RPCVs. Anyone inspired by the mission should feel welcome to host or attend these parties - not just former volunteers. The idea is to have fun, build awareness and increase support for the MorePeaceCorps.org Campaign!
To sign up for hosting a party or to learn more, kindly send an email to House Party Coordinator, May Wilkerson at maywilkerson@morepeacecorps.org.

MorePeaceCorps.org Campaign is a grassroots campaign launched in 2008 by the National Peace Corps Association and supported by M+R Strategic Services.
The campaign goal is to build a bigger, better and bolder Peace Corps – one that is doubled in budget and the number of volunteers by 2011, the 50th anniversary of the founding of Peace Corps. We want a Peace Corps operating with a renewed vigor and expanded opportunities to serve.
Currently, the Peace Corps sends out just 4,000 volunteers per year. This is half the number of four decades ago.
Demand for volunteers exceeds supply. More than 20 countries have requested Peace Corps programs but the Peace Corps, which operates on a shoestring budget of $332 million per year, lacks the budget to respond.
Doubling the Peace Corps budget would cost just over $1 for every American.
The September 6th MorePeaceCorps 100 House Parties aim to build support for a bigger, better, bolder Peace Corps. We selected this date to draw attention to the ServiceNation Conference taking place in New York City five days later on September 11th where both presidential candidates are expected to attend and address the issue of national service and greater resources to the Peace Corps.
To sign up for hosting a party or to learn more, kindly send an email to House Party Coordinator, May Wilkerson at maywilkerson@morepeacecorps.org.
