statewide WV Promise VISTA meeting

I attended the statewide WV Promise Vista project meeting Monday and Tuesday in Shepherdstown. Our two VISTA's, Patty and Kindra, were also in attendance. We attended a regional drop out prevention summit for that Eastern Panhandle area on MOnday, and had our own meeting Tuesday. Shepherdstown is a nice little college town, near enough to DC to have some access to culture and government jobs, etc. but rural and scenic enough to have a great quality of life! The meetings solidified our "bonds" with WV's Promise and the VISTA projects connected to that. Kindra had a bad tooth ache, which dampened her experience, but everyone took good care of her, and there will still be some good experiences and memories generated from the two day adventure.
