As a VISTA, you should be eligible for food stamps. ''Food stamps and many other social services (especially child care) cannot be taken away from you if you obtain them before becoming a VISTA.'' All prior federal assistance is unaffected upon becoming an AmeriCorps*VISTA.
I got my first check yesterday. yea it was a little dissapointing. I thought maybe i would be better off as a migrant worker lol. The work is good. i'm not sure why i only recieved $85. Anyway i lived off less. after all i wasnt working for the whole summer. hopefully the nearby shelter will supply me with dinner until the next check.

Will, the checks we just got are only for two days, because the pay period was Aug 29 to Sept 11th and we all started on the 8th. So, Paul said we'd get 20% of our regular checks. mine was only $75 and due to me giving Paul the wrong number for my account I haven't gotten it yet.
Our next check will be on October 9th and should be much better, if still not a lot.
Here's the payroll schedule: http://www.ctcvista.org/forms/payroll_schedule

Man, that's bad. I haven't worked all summer either, so this check is all I have... but I was lucky: my relocation allowance was tied in. It's paying my rent this month. Hope it works out for you.

je je,
a wise move to hold bac a bit on the Drupal part until your org gets their purpse redefined a bit. They should REALLY talk with Helen De Michiel at NAMAC. She's really been pushing this idea of a 'Digital New Deal' http://www.namac.org/node/4526
Remember that session at the CTCNet Conference where we went over challenges and opportunities for the CTC movement? Many of those issues are THE SAME ISSUES that the field of media arts is facing. We also want to align with larger policy goals to not reinvent the wheel and synergize change that is broad and deep. Hope that's not too out there, but it was a pattern I noticed throughout the strategic planning session my org had, the sessions we had at CTCNet as well as what I see happening in the larger picture. whoa. anyway.
do you have a 'sand box' server to play around with Drupal on yet? Maybe Josh King might be able to point you in the right direction...
Cheers!
