Blog Day #5

Today Brody and I woke up a little later and Brody made eggs and toast while I made turkey sandwiches for lunch. When we arrived at the office, we sat in on a meeting with Jen and her part time employee, Sarah. In this meeting, they discussed details for an upcoming event for veteran families. This discussion included cost, location and funding of this particular event and it was interesting to hear how something like this comes together. We took a break for lunch at around noon and afterwards we delivered a printer and other electronics to a recycling center because it was hazardous material recycling day. Then, for the rest of the day we continued to organize important files. 

Total Hours: 8

Blog Day #3

 Today we woke up and made coffee in preparation for fully immersing ourselves into the work that we will be doing for the next two weeks. We drove into the office with Jen where she walked us through the plan for the day and settled us in at a few miscellaneous desks. We then got to work moving and reorganizing various items that are important for funding events and other things that bring in revenue for the organization. After doing this until around noon, we stopped and took  a half an hour lunch break which consisted of some sandwiches that I made in the morning. Next, the founder of the company came in and we got to have a talk with her for a little bit. We then got to work reorganizing files that began in 2011 and led all the way up to this year which to us a while, ending the day at 5pm. Hours: 8

 Today Brody and I woke up and I made scrambled eggs which we coupled with banana bread and some toast. Since it was our last full day out here we decided to do some work on a Sunday just to finish up our hours. We went into the office with Jen and discussed the necklaces we had made and how they were going to be used next week in a fundraising event. Jen then walked us through some aspects of her job one final time, such as the hiring process.
