Week 5

On Monday, I called the members of the Student Advisory Board (20 college/HS students) and informed them that the Annual Picnic/Social would be rescheduled for next Monday, June 15 due to inclement weather. I also went (off site!) to Reed Arts and Village Trophy to have the End-of-Season awards assembled. I was finally able to print out all the different components--plaque wordings, and framed inscriptions--with much help from Joe (Ticketing Manager). When I returned I began to look at the results of my networking survey; so far I have received 8 responses. I am finding that pretty much everyone uses facebook whether it be for office work or personal use or both, and most people find it difficult to use many of the different networking tools (myspace, twitter, blogger, snapfish, etc.) because there is such a plethora from which to choose. A couple respondents have also mentioned communicating within their organization (having to consult the Communications Manager, for example) about which networking tools to use as a roadblock. I will continue to compile these results as more are received.

Almost everyone in the office is writing his/her end of the year report, so it's pretty quiet. We are getting ready to send out one final mass mailing before the end of the fiscal year asking for any last minute donations.

On Wednesday, I filed some recordings away in the secret "Archives" room. :) I edited Julia's end of the year report on all of the Education and Outreach programs that ProMusica has put on this past season. I learned a lot about just how many programs Julia is in charge of, and only began to understand the magnitude of organizing all the resources and funds for such projects. I was then sent on another shopping assignment to purchase supplies(markers, presentation post-its) for the Educational Strategic Planning meeting which is happening on Monday, June 15. I am in charge of ordering/picking up/purchasing all the food for lunch on Monday, any chance I get to go to Giant Eagle-I'm in! When I came back from Staples, I began to assemble the last award for a guest conductor which is going to presented at the Annual Board meeting on Wednesday, June 17. For this award, I went to Target and purchased a triple photo frame, placed two pictures of the guest conductor in it, and with Julia's help, came up with an inscription to commemorate the event for the third photo space in between the two pictures. I really like working on artsy projects like this one. Putting the awards together and compiling the End of Season Reception invitations has been very fun for me.

Also on Wednesday, I prepared some of the index cards for brainstorming in the meeting on June 15 by labeling index cards with each of the programs outlined in Julia's Education report, such as Education Forums, Open Rehearsals (for senior citizens, complete with large print programs), and Stop! Look! Listen! (Sunday afternoon concert series at the Columbus Museum of Art and Columbus Metropolitan Libraries). I'm pretty excited to see what all I learn in this all-day meeting on Monday!
