Six Months Into My Vista

As I sit here looking at my things to do and my calendar I've realized that its just just about six months into my VISTA -ship already. Wow, times really flown. There certainly have been a lot of obstacles that my organization has been facing in the six months I have been here including funding, moving locations, and a few other internal matters. We've still been working through things and doing what we can do though. I've been doing my share in helping to write out certain areas of our strategic plan mainly focusing on ways to implement better community involvment and awareness in the technology/broadband policy debate. I also wrote a letter of inquiry for grant not too long ago but haven't heard anything about that so far. Right now I'm also organizing our "Meet the Funder" event that will provide community organizations to hear from grantmakers, get the scope of the grantmaking and grantwriting process and just ask general questions on the grant proccess. 

All in all its been an interesting six months. Great nontheless. I've really learned a lot about  the non-prof world.
