Hello Fellow Vista's,
This year of service is winding up to a close. And its been fun, very productive, and at time just plain hard work.
We are well engaged in transforming our Jail to a Jewel. We have a full network infasture now that has both Administartive and open access conectivity across High speed Fiber and virtual private networking between switch closets in multiple buildings.
Recently hundreds of Wellpoint health executive volunteers turned out to blase hiking trails and exercise sites accross our 47 oak forested site and along the stream that winds through the center of the campus. The site is really becoming park like. This is going to be a very good place to retire, stay engaged, and grow old! We will find wonders and engagement for kids of all ages!
I have had the honor to work with some wonderfull volunteers. One Jim W is a 90 year old retired EE and rocket scientist. What a role model! He is there every day and stays fit as a fiddle welding railings, building Picinic Tables and a host of other tasks. He recently flew to DC for a recognition dinner and photo op with the Congress and the Senate. For his picture goto our web site under RSVP (another AmeriCorp division for volunteers 55 and older). HELP of Ojai Site. My first Drupal experience :-^)
I want to wish you all the greatest success and hope you all have found your year of service as wonderfull as I have. It is clear being of service pays great dividends for all; and, I am convinced it should be a lifetime engagement!
The very best to all of you!
