The annual 25th Harley Party event is this Saturday and I’ve been working SUPER hard helping Ms. Campbell get the event together. This past couple weeks have been me putting together sponsors/ food vendors gift bags and delivering them. The picture of me on the top left hand was at the Amarillo National Bank Plaza taking some gift bags to sponsors! This internship has taught me the importance of communication and building strong work relationships for future events

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Hey guys, I apologize for not posting recently. I have been super busy @FSS with the upcoming 25th anniversary Harley Party coming up. I’ve learned through this experience that communication is key to everything.  I truly got blessed with an awesome boo because not only does she understand, but also explains and helps me. Future interns please please always communication with your boss if something doesn't seem right because it probably isn’t.

I will be posting some pictures on my next post of some of the things I’ve been doing around the office :)

My first week as an intern was pretty much paperwork and getting to know my boss, but the second week was when the work started. I drove all around town in two days and got about 27 restaurants around the Amarillo and Canyon area to agree to be food vendors for our upcoming event. 🌭🌮🍜🍔

Pro: Getting to discover new food places to check out. 

Con. Going broke and hungry  🙃
