Greetings fellow VISTAs... and to the world!
I thought creating and maintaining a blog detailing our time as VISTAs here in South Dakota would be a great way to not only share our experiences with each other, but with future VISTAs as well. Plus, it will give us an opportunity to tell our stories to others in the state and elsewhere who may not be aware of what we're all about.
My inspiration was the blog published by the VISTAs in Indiana. I'm not exactly sure what direction ours will take; however, considering the wide range of our positions and our locations, this site should turn out to be quite eclectic.
VISTAs, please take a look at what I've setup thus far. Shoot me an e-mail with your thoughts and suggestions. After all, this is our blog.

What exactly is VISTA?
VISTA stands for Volunteers in Service to America. The program has been fighting poverty since its inception in 1965. Instead of performing services directly, our goal is to increase the capacity of our sponsoring organizations.

This blog is fantastic! Great Job Brian! I'm using exclamation points at the end of every sentence!
Brian,
You did an awsome job of setting this up. You might want to list the VISTA week that is coming up in May for the upcoming events.
Done!
Pretty cool blog, Brian! I enjoyed reading the sites that were included in this blog so now I'm more familiar with our programs in SD. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
