Out-Processing and future posts

Regarding the absence of entries this past month, there are more on the way as well as a continuation of the Colorado posts in the near future.    The Q&A area is still open for questions (see the right side of the blog for the submission form) and will remain open.

Out processing started off on a Friday as teams gradually arrived back to the region campus followed by the weekend which was open and free to visit with friends from other teams.  Starting on Monday there was a week of activities and meetings that were needed to finish up our ten month term of service.  Each day the things on the agenda would range from three to four things on a busy day to two things on a slower day for us, usually involving turning in equipment and so on.   This being said, the schedule did change a number of times and this was simply one closeout at our campus and experiences will vary some depending on the region campus.

By the time we all arrived back, many of us were ready to finish the ten months and were keeping track of how many days left we had before we were done.   Its been a great time all in all and our corp has had many great people volunteer ten months of their life to help those affected by disasters.   Many corp members may have not seen the end result from their work during some of their assignments but the contributions made have made a difference.    For me, Colorado made the ten months for me in addition to spending the time with my team and the transitions with the corp as a whole.

Keep an eye out for new posts and new questions are always welcome.  More to come.
