My year-long VISTA project is underway. Our pantry is stocked for opening day. My main challenge was having the confidence that our students and faculty would come through with donations. Phi Theta Kappa has been such a blessing as well. They have added a "30 lbs or $30.00" donation item to their service list and the response has been great for the first week. The Metromode is writing a story on Chris and I and the work that we are trying to accomplish here at Schoolcraft.The article will be posted by Thursday. I have already gotten emails from students and faculty interested in being enrolled in the program, or volunteering in the program. I cannot wait for launch date. We are looking to launch the first week after spring break which is the second week of March. Decisions are still being discussed.
Quarterly reports are due soon. MCC is hosting 2 webinars to help us while compiling our second report, since most of the VISTAs had some trouble understanding their expectations.
We also have MCC and VISTA member training in Detroit this month. Our supervisors will be meeting us there on the final day to do some group evaluating.
VISTA recruitment began in January and will be continuing. This means that I need to make a decision regarding what I want to do come July. I need to make this decision by the end of March. That is when new MCC host Campuses will be announced. I am hoping that I can discern what is the correct life choice for me.
