VIDA, which stands for Vital Intervention Directional Alternative is a program through the Sheriffs Department to work with at risk youth. Our part in it is the psychological side and we work with parents and teens to psycho-educate and process with them. The sheriffs department decided that they wanted to thank all volunteers for all programs at the sheriffs department with a fancy dinner and dancing. As usual the venue is interesting, it happened to be in the warehouse where they process all the counterfeit goods, which is why, as Jess stated, "oh look it looks like we are hanging out in a basketball gym." They also presented us with these awards/posters, which we were totally unprepared for. I took a picture of their cool table decor for Chad, so enjoy. It was a black and white theme...in case you couldn't see that. These pictures are of us receiving and posing with our LARGE awards! It was a practice run to temp us into how good it will feel to get out doctorate degree!
