A
Time for Color 
(Allow
me to be a cornball for a moment. Thanks.)
Springtime is an exciting time for me. A time for color and growth.
A time for new ideas, new projects, for setting goals and pushing ahead.
La, la, la.
Around HQ, we're gearing up for a new set of VISTAs. Applications for
next August are pouring in already. Did you know that the CTC VISTA
Project is among the most popular AmeriCorps*VISTA projects? It's true,
and I have a million and two email inquiries and apps to prove it.
We're
also preparing to say good-bye to Liz Barnes
and eight graduating VISTAs: Shlonda Brouchet, Derek Hixon, Ella Holden,
Dirk Knoedler, Colette Mahoney, Katie Peterson, Ilirjan Qirici, and
Ted Simpao. Congratulations to you all. I
hope your next adventures are totally awesome.
What's
on your agenda this spring? If you want, I can help you share that with
the rest of the VISTAs here, with VISTAs in general, with our supporters
and our new applicants. Please send your updates (personal and VISTA)
to me, along with any pictures you want to share and any events we can
highlight.
Happy
spring, everyone.
