During winter quarter we finished up our event of having a backyard harvest collection day. When we returned to school for Spring Quarter we held an after action review. Following that we had some challenges starting back up our project. As a group we didn't really have any ideas of projects we wanted to work on with gleanslo. In addition, GleanSlo didn't really have any projects ideas either. This made it challenging for our group to get engaged and excited. With the lack of drive from our team and the business of GleanSlo we didn't complete any project for spring quarter. 

 

I myslef (Julianna) felt a little discouraged during spring quarter. I had enjoyed getting to know gleanslo winter quarter and I wish we had been able to continue working with GleanSlo during spring quarter. I also wished that as a group we could have been given more responsibility and treated more as partners. I think that as a group we needed to communicate our feelings more towards GleanSlo so we could have felt more impacted and satisfied with what we accomplished. In sustain I got to watch a project evolve from the original idea into what actually got accomplished. 





My (Regina's) experience with GleanSLO was not as great as I would have hoped it to be. I was put into this project because my first choice was full but despite that, I left the community partner meeting feeling good about the project and GlanSLO as an organization. For me, I think I was really excited at first because I saw so much potential for involvement with farmers and the people receiving this much needed food but unfortunately that never really panned out. I feel like I was given too little time to come up with an exciting project for an organization that I had just newly become affiliated with which resulted in little involvement on my part and a lack of motivation. 
I felt like the project we worked on first quarter was not that successful and I felt like GleanSLO didn't really even need me or my team. Winter quarter was also a downfall because we didn't have any idea's for a project and we didn't get much done. 
I think overall there was a lack of communication between us as a team and they as a community partner. We didn't really like I got to utilize my skills as a person with GleanSLO simply because I was not familiar  with the organization and they didn't seem to know what they wanted from me.
