Motorola Global Day of Service
October 15, 2008
Event layout:
FPDCC and FOTP are planning for approximately 650 Motorola employees to attend the annual Motorola Global Day of Service event sponsored by the aforementioned organizations. Individuals will be placed into teams of 13 and will be led under the guidance of a team leader. FPDCC and FOTP are planning for two shifts in which half of the Motorola employees will be working on activities in the morning and the remaining completing those same activities that afternoon. Individuals will be asked to work for approximately 2.5 hours in each shift. In the event of any questions or concerns regarding the task assigned, questions should be directed to the team leaders, which in turn should be directed to the FPDCC and FOTP staff. There will be 7 FPDCC staff on hand and 3 FOTP staff with additional individuals who will assist in secondary roles. Additionally, FOTP will have 4 first aid/water stations set up throughout the designated work area at Busse Woods.
On October 1, 2008 FPDCC staff will train team leaders in all activities in preparation for the actual event on October 15th. Additional Information will be made available online, such as the leader training schedule, the site map, etc. It is recommended that all team leaders read through the information before the scheduled training on October 1, 2008.
Team activities:
Buckthorn Removal
Selected teams will be stationed at various sites around the preserve and will be involved in removal of marked buckthorn (including resprouts) and placing all brush along the curb for pickup by FPDCC staff
Litter cleanup
Roving teams will be placed at various start locations and will move along selected routes collecting litter in specified areas within the preserve
Mulching

Priorities for the day:
Work areas will be determined by FPDCC and will be viewable online prior to the leader training on October 1st. Additionally, all constituents involved will have access to online event documents and information as well as the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the day’s schedule and activities.
