Big Personalities, Bigger Hearts

Well, all of the interns made it to week two!  We’re all fully submerged in our projects, and we’re starting to get things done in the office.  

 

Already I have had innumerous emails, and phone calls from our dedicated volunteers.  Many were replied to with “I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get a response to you, this is my first week in the office.”  Because I started receiving emails in March!  I’ve learned quickly that our volunteers have big personalities, and bigger hearts.  

 

Today is a big day for me, because the box of volunteer letters that has been sitting on my desk since Friday is leaving for the post office!  One of my first tasks in the office was to create the volunteer letter, and registration materials for the 2016 Fair.  I became acquainted with the Fair’s printing department, learned that there is a machine that folds paper, and learned that it takes an 8 hour work day to stuff 480 envelopes. 

 

If you don’t receive a volunteer letter in the next week, we would still love to have you join us at the Fair!  Online registration will open Friday.  Just like the paper forms, scheduling will happen on a first come, first serve basis.  I can’t wait to start filling in the schedule!
