week #6 2/24- 2/26

2/24- Today i was given the task to work on reaching on to Greek life organizations. This has been a continuing project. Today i called the social chairs of many sororities and fraternities and received emails from the people who are interested in possibly using our event space for banquets. I was able to email these people menus and swatches for table cloth coloring. I have not received feedback from anyone yet, bu this will be an ongoing project, in hopes to be successful at the end of the semester and allow me to book my own event on my own. I was also given the task of inputting RSVP guest numbers into a check in spread sheet. This sheet will be what i use to check in guests at the open house. Each bride was given up to 4 additional RSVP's. I was able to input about half the brides RSVP'S but not all brides responded yet, so this also will be a continuing project until all brides RSVP. If the brides do not RSVP we will do an additional invitation.

2/25 - Today I did some contact work at home. I was able to contact a  women who does invitations who I previously contacted for the bridal  open house. I was not able to get her into. The open house so we chatted and I was able to give her information  to contact my boss for future work. This vendor was looking for a possible partnership  with The Barn for her invitations and stationary work. I felt very accomplished because I was a able to set up hopefully a future work relationship for the Barn. This helped me to use my PR class skills and business class skills.

2/26- Today I went into the office and did some packet work for the bridal event. One of the papers we placed in our bridal packet had incorrect info so we had to fix the paper and switch them out for the old ones in the packet. This also meant we had to go over other packets to check If they had the correct info. I also created two other packets for the event with policies of the barn and the other with a comparison of both venue locations, I put these together in a packet. I had to do a a large amount of computer  input work for the bridal show. I created an official vendor lost for the day of the show. I also create a spreadsheet with new vendors information so that they can be easily contacted.
