Last Friday, I finally got to submit Farmers Insurance Group 2.0 ( the name 2.0 refers to the fact that I wrote it twice for two different 'asks' haha) and I am very happy to see it off. It was the first letter I wrote asking for support for First Night-St. Louis, so here's hoping we hear back good news.
Just began a new letter for the Cracker Barrel Foundation...so far it's only made me hungry. I'll be writing again for Students Creating Art for Public Enjoyment or SCAPE. Due to recent developments, I haven't progressed very far with it.
Also last FridayJay and I walked over to Kota to talk with Chris LaRocca about supporting our first official "Young Friends of Grand Center" event, which is going to be held as a part of Cinemania on August 12th. We'll be screening Dirty Dancing. We are expecting about 50 guests and will be giving a short spiel about Young Friends and well as charging $5 donation in return for a free drink at Kota. Jay's working on the e-vite, and it looks great!
This week I came in Monday morning for a meeting with Peg and the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis about their Gala fundraiser they are planning. I was busy before the meeting printing and editing their documents. With those documents in hand, we sat down for an hour or so to discuss some of the issues they are having with their contacts, as well as some of the changes I made to their letters/etc.
I really enjoyed meeting with them, and as of now, I am going to play a big role in the development of their fundraising. I left the meeting charged with drafting a solicitation letter (draft #1- in progress), a solicitation letter for their subscribers (draft #1-complete), as well as constructing a spreadsheet of names and addresses for their solicitation letter to go to.
All of a sudden I have way too much to do in the 16 hrs a week that I am here, but hey I cannot complain. This is all great experience!
I'd give more detail, but I have no time.
