"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
Hi everyone! My name is Naomi and I'm from Philly. I headed to Oakland and I'm really excited to be serving in the beautiful state of California. It's a big move for me since I've never lived anywhere else. If I end up loving California (which I know I will), I will stay after my year is over. Well, I guess I will keep everyone posted on how things go. See ya!

Hi Naomi!
I'm a CTC VISTA member down the road from you (okay, maybe a little further than just down the road) in sunny San Diego. I started my service in mid-September and moved to California because of it. I was born and raised in Indiana, never living anywhere else (except for a short year in Michigan my freshman year), so the move out here was a big one for me too. As predicted, I've fallen in love and plan to stay out here and find a job when my term is up! Good luck to you and welcome to California from one newcomer to another!
In service,
Laura

Hey Laura,
Thanks for the California greeting! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who up and moved far from home to serve. I think I was the only one at the this years PSO that was relocating (I stuck out like a sore thumb with all my baggage and my cat). It's a little scary because I don't know anyone but I am looking forward to this experience of living somewhere other than Philly. I hope to fall in love with Cali as well so I can stay when my year is over. Take care of yourself!
