VISIONS Post 4: The Film Kid Mixer

So this weekend we had the Film Kid Mixer, and I'd say it went very well. There was a pretty big turnout and I think we gave many newcomers to the department a chance to get to know the various opportunities that exist within our film community at UNCW. As far as the specifics of my tasks, I think I was able to make sure the proper announcements were made the night of, giving each organization represented at the mixer and chance to discuss some of the details about what they do and how to get involved. Also, the volunteer sign-up sheet had seven names and email addresses on it at the end of the night. Considering we haven't even officially launched a volunteer campaign, I'd say that's a pretty awesome start. Most of the people wanting to volunteer are new to the university and department. This is good because that's precisely the demographic I wanted to appeal to when it comes to volunteers we get outside of ACE. I'm very excited to present this week. In addition to my presentation, I will be showing a write-up of a tentative form letter to send to our prospective volunteers. I will also be developing a shift schedule and job descriptions in the next couple of weeks.
