Good News!!

Soooo my boss asked me awhile ago if I'd be interested in a "loaned exec" program for an area volunteer organization. Well, it's a national organization (Unit*d W*y-don't want it to show up in search results). :) Basically, tonsa companies want to participate in the yearly campaign but don't have the staffing ability, etc, to run one on their own. Additionally, other companies need presentations about the campaign. And the campaign is HUGE-they need people to manage contributions and numbers, etc. So, local companies "donate" an "executive" to help during that time.

Sooo.. for 15 weeks or so, that's what I'll be doing this fall!!! I got selected from my company!! I'll be working there full time and basically won't see my desk for nearly 3 mos. That's crazy! I'll be super busy and likely have longer hours...but what an awesome cause and what an awesome experience! My boss actually did it a couple of years ago and I think she handled about 20 campaigns-personally! From public speaking to organizing campaigns to lotsa other stuff, it will be so cool!!

Always up for a new challenge and completely flattered I was selected out of some very qualified candidates!!

As for the reunion, thanks for your feedback, peeps! I think I've decided on Wicked...so I'll be hitting up the picnic at the school for sure. Still up in the air on giving up my concert tix for Eric to take someone else during Friday's reunion cocktail hour... We shall see...

Crazy travel for two weeks + good news on a Friday= Jackie ready to go home for the weekend.. haha! :)
