chocolatepotI realized today while looking over my checklist for the antique sale - which isn't until April 23rd - that I'm kind of being a boss at being a boss? I've gotten a ton done. Three press releases have gone out (one more to go in a week or so), the radio spot's recorded, we have silent auction stuff coming in and being handled by the volunteers who do that, some volunteers have signed up to work on the day or to bring in desserts for the luncheon, flyers are made, raffle tickets are made, dealers are contracted, the space is reserved, tables are confirmed, the quilt for the raffle's almost finished. All that's left to do is to get the ads to the newspapers (I don't know what the process is for that), make up the layout of booths, and send the program to the printers (need the booth layout for that), basically.
Then apart from that, I've gotten our magazine bulk mailing out and I've single-handedly created the next issue of the newsletter, which I will then bulk mail. Not only did I make the newsletter, but I made the newsletter about the county rather than just our organization, which has been a decent goal people lay on me and then do nothing to help with - the article about summer events includes our Civil War Weekend and the Founders Weekend put on by the Fort de la Presentation people, and there's a whole piece about the Lisbon, Hammond, and Hopkinton museums, which are only open in the summer. I think Sue will be very pleased with it when she comes back.
I even managed to post about two of the #museumweek daily themes on Twitter (people and heritage), and not just RT some people but QUOTE-RT some people, which is a huge step for me. Also I talked to someone at the Newport Historical Society (two applications there and counting) on Facebook and they friended me, so I networked! I feel so accomplished and useful.
