After a month...

In January, I started my internship with the McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity, helping them plan their 11th Annual Run, Walk, or Ride for Habitat event. The event will take place on June 16, 2012.

In the first month of my internship, I started working on gathering sponsors for the event. I redid their sponsorship packet to make it fit on two pages and researched new companies to send sponsorship packets too. We want to have sponsors from not only McMinnville, but Amity, Sheridan, Willamina, Carlton, Yamhill and Lafayette since the McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity builds in those areas.

I have participated in many meetings and have helped perfect the design of their new website with their volunteer, Serina. We had a lunch date at Thai Country that was phenomenal. I have also been put in charge of getting new yard signs for the event. I am now just waiting for the okay that the new site has been ported over.

I am now starting to take over the registration aspect of the event. I am receiving pre-registrations and starting the binder and Excel spreadsheet to be used on registration day. I am also started to prepare a brochure on how to become a Team Captain and create a team to race on the day of the event.

So far, it hasn't been super busy, but I know it will pick up very soon. Next Tuesday, we are meeting to discuss t-shirt and hoody options!
