Week 7

I finished the annual report this week! Although it is under review and some minor edits need to be done after it gets proofread, it is finished. I cannot explain how accomplished I felt after I was able to pass the finished project onto my supervisor. This week I mainly worked on the same tasks as the previous weeks. A majority of my time was spent contacting businesses about donating door prizes for the Fenner Ride. In addition, I updated the social media and worked on a marketing table.

Working on the marketing table was a new task for me. The Big Brothers Big Sisters in another city needed help setting up a marketing table for special events, such as a volunteer fair. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pensacola set up a mock marketing table to be an example for the other organization. We went to different stores looking for block letters for the table and finally found some. After finding the letters, we painted them and allowed them to dry as we set up the table. We had to ensure that the table had the right handouts and materials on it.

After the block letters were put on, we organized the table to look professional. We also added balloons to grab observers' attention as they walked by. In addition, we stayed with the BBBS color scheme of purple and white. Setting up this table taught me how to use organization and professionalism to attract the public to our table. We want our table to stand out when compared to those around it and this can be achieved by appearing clean, inviting, and organized.
