Workin' Hard For The Money
The posts on Charlie's Adventures have not been as frequent as I would like them to be. This is the first time this week that I have had a few moments to sit at my computer and gather my thoughts. By the looks of things, I'll be working harder than I have in quite some time over the next week and a half. Here's the scoop. One of the events that I oversee is the Canadian Cancer Society's annual Daffodil Days here in Moncton. Daffodils are know as the flower of hope (more commonly referred to as the flowers from hell by the CCS staff). As with all the events I oversee there are goals that are to be met - $50,000 for this one. I can utilize anyone who willing to volunteer their time. The office assistant, Julie, has been with the cancer society for the past few years and has worked on the daffodil campaign each year and is extremely familiar how everything is done. I have really looked to her for guidance & assistance. We divided up many of the task and she was planning to take care of many key elements. Long story short, Julie had an emergency appendectomy over the weekend and is out of the office for two weeks! Suffice to say, I'm on my own with this event. It is proving to be quite the learning experience. I am confident that my goals will be met - it's just getting thought April 6th that's going to be the trick. I have a massage scheduled for Monday the 7th to help work out the kinks! If there isn't a new post soon, you now know why.
