The departmental meeting was very informative because most of what we did was revolved around trying to start both the party and bake sale. I mostly absorbed information on what I needed to do first to get the bake sale rolling which meant that I needed to do sign up sheets for the bake sale items, decorations, as well as time slots for the day of the sale. Aside from that we talked about themes and came up with the idea of using Star Wars as the theme, focusing on the light and dark side for the booths. We want to reserve tables at both Randall as well as Cameron in order to get good locations.
As far as the week's assignment, I finally got in touch with Monte Yazzie to set up our interview which happened at 7:30pm on Friday. He was very helpful and even though I was a bit anxious he was very eager to be interviewed. He helped me understand a lot more specifically about his festival as well as giving me tips to help keep me grounded as I learned more about how to be effective with Visions. I was impressed by the end of the interview when he also let me know to get in touch with him if I needed any more help over the year. The assignment as a whole was very helpful to me.
When reading the Developmental manual as well as my specific duties as the development assistant and bake sale coordinator. I felt a bit overwhelmed by everything I might have to do over the course of the semester but felt as though everything was self-explanatory. It was good to know exactly what was in my job description as well as having a manual with examples of what will work for future use. I am glad that I was able to see what was beneficial to past Visions fundraising as it really does help me not feel as though I am working from scratch.
