Happy New Year Everyone!! After being off work and out of town for awhile, I think it's time to post again. It's been hard trying to get back into the swing of things here at Starfish. Not only did we have our time off for the holidays, but I went on vacation and now we're packing up the office to get ready for our remodeling. I'm excited about the face lift the office is getting... Sheniece and I got to pick out the color of our new office!! :) And we cleared out the upstairs today.
Well, back to my VISTA world. First, I want to wish Katy K good luck as she starts her VISTA assignment at IUPUI! You'll do great! Here at Starfish, I'm moving along with our Mentor Dinner. The invitations are all sent and I'm getting some great feedback from the mentors about how cute and creative the invitations are. I spent A LOT of time tying fabric, gluing invitation, and stuffing mailing tubes and it's good to hear that people like them. Now I'm just hoping that the dinner turns out alright.
I'm also getting more into the sponsorship part of my work plan. I'm trying to get some sponsors for our fundraising breakfast in October. Also trying to book a venue for it. I'll keep you updated on that.
Starfish is starting a once a month College Fest for the scholars. We're hoping to visit a different college every month and help the students learn more about FAFSA, scholarships, applying to colleges, and other such important college information. We're also looking for some fellowship too.
That's all I have for you all right now. Hoping 2009 is treating everyone alright!
