New Adventures

As summer comes to a close, we bet you are all wondering what new adventures are in store.  No doubt you've picked out your "first-day-of-school-outfit" and purchased new notebooks and writing utensils for the year ahead.  You've said "goodbye" to camp friends, traded your flip-flops for sturdier shoes and soaked up the last bit of sun before summer vacation ends.  A new chapter in your life begins.

The same goes for me (Catherine) and Lea.  When we started working with YAC last August, we didn't know what to expect.  We've had a lot of ups and downs, but we could not be happier about the great things the Arkansas YAC chapters have accomplished.  Now we are wrapping up our year as VISTA workers and heading out to find our places in the world.  We would like to say "thank you" to each one of you (YAC members AND advisors) for making this year special for us.  We hope that the YAC program will soar to even greater heights this coming year!  We have no doubt in our minds that great things will come from all of you and we can't wait to hear about what a difference YAC has made in Arkansas.

Keep up the YAC spirit,

Catherine and Lea
