Day 1

So my first day at my VISTA site was fun filled and very busy!!  I was so excited to go in this morning, since I had been warned that they have been putting together a "to do" list for me since March!!  Everyone was super nice to me too!!  They started by showing me my desk and introducing me to everyone.  They had put together a welcome lunch for me, which was really good, and we talked about the upcoming Cinco de Mayo festival.  The rest of the day I spent directing and helping volunteers put together stuff for Cinco de Mayo.  I did have a great talk with my site supervisor!  She told me what grants I needed to check out and what projects need funding at Amigo de Cristo.  She has wrote grants for over 20 years, so I'm looking forward to her sharing her tips with me!!  Tomorrow I will be going to Salvation Army to find out what they do here in Sedalia, MO.
