Weekend here I come!

It's been a week packed full of things to do. Stuff on the agenda:

1. College Cost Estimator on Saturday - This event NEEDS to go over well! While it's not my job to get the families to come, I'm feeling the pressure. I really want people to understand that this workshop is going to be sooooooo helpful in letting our families know that college is doable.

2. Gala venue selection - After about a month of ballroom visits (6 or 7 if I'm remembering correctly), the gala committee FINALLY picked a venue for our March 2010 gala. The vote was so easy yesterday, I only wish the road to the decision would have been less stressful. Because this is Starfish's first gala no one really knows what we want and it's been difficult communicating our needs to some of the venues we've talked to. But the First Annual "Dancing with the Starfish" Gala will be held on March 6, 2010 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Phew!

3. Gleaner's - I've made 2 separate trips to the food bank this week. One Tuesday and one this morning.

4. Open House mailing list - This mailing list has been one of the most involved and mind numbing projects I've worked on in the 4 months I've been a VISTA. You would think that, given an excel template to plug in your contacts, the job of compiling all the staff's personal lists would be a breeze. Well, think again! I've worked on it (with the help of an intern) for 2 days now! And it's still not finished!

5. Sam's Club - Gotta run to Sam's Club to get food for College Cost Estimator and pick up some other stuff for the office. This has to happen tomorrow... in my free time...

6. Webisode filming - Also happening tomorrow, Paul needs help filming his new webisode about prom. It'll be fun, just bad timing for me.

7. A/V set up at Ivy Tech - I have to make a run to Ivy Tech and make sure all the A/V is working and learn how to fix it should something go wrong on Saturday. When do I have to do this? Tomorrow (along with the Sam's Club run and the webisode filming)

As you can see, it's been a busy week and it won't be over until Saturday. The bright side, I have a friend's wedding to go to after the event on Saturday. Good times!
