Getting Things Done for Americorps Week!

The VISTAs in Provo have been busy this week. We are definitely "getting things done". This week we have celebrated Americorps week by setting up a booth at a local grocery store and giving information to customers, giving presentations to local university students and participating in service projects.

On Tuesday we were able to participate in a fun day, completely devoted to Americorps. We started out the day by meeting at the state capitol, where the Lt. Governor signed a proclamtion declaring it Americorps Week.

We then headed over to a local community garden to help weed and give the garden some tlc. Despite the rain and the mud, we were able to do a ton. It was fun to see the difference we made in the garden. We took a ton of pictures also to celebrate the day!
