Three years; where did the time go?
Our original four VISTA members - Alan Gedeon, Bridgette Halliburton, Brenda Freeman and David Kaminski - came on board November 17, 2007. They met for the first time when they attended pre-service orientation in Atlanta and have been a "family" since then.
Even when Brenda completed her second year and was hired by her site - the Anna E. Gayle Resource Center - they still remained close. In fact, in January 2010 the 20/20 VISTA Vision Project members "adopted" Brenda's Kelly-Brown Center clean-up project for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
On November 9th, as Al, Bridgette and Dave were winding down their third year of service, the four VISTAs attended a farewell luncheon hosted by remaining VISTA Leader Joyce Whitworth and Project Leader Rosie Wiley.
After lunch at Mattison's, the VISTAs got together to recreate the picture taken three years ago when we first met them.
While there VISTA time is over, we will still be working together to serve our community. But, I will miss the close interaction that we had these past years.
We wish you all the best, dear friends!
