For those of you who have not already done so, I encourage you to create a manual for the person who will take over for you once you finish your service. Some of you may have had the advantage of using manuals that were created by previous members. There are a lot of different aspects to the AmeriCorps positions and each site is unique, so I think having a "how to" guide could be extremely helpful.
Some of you have created some excellent volunteer manuals this year and I'd like for us to have a way to share those with each other. I'm open to suggestion, but perhaps converting them into google documents would enable us all to collaborate in a useful way.

My site has manuals created by previous AmeriCorps members, which I am supposed to be adding to throughout the year, but honestly, as I've never actually had to use the manual myself, I wonder how useful it will be to my successors? I would like to hear from other people who have used their manuals regarding what information was contained, what made the manual useful, which parts were indispensable, et cetera.
