Last Friday, we of Project XIII held our First Friday for the month of October. For those who may not know what a First Friday is, a First Friday is a small event we at Hambleton Enterprises hold on the first Friday of every month. At these events we pass out information for various events that are planned to be held at the school. We also tend to base these events around a certain topic, this latest one being based around breast cancer awareness. At this event, I was given the task to act as the events security, making certain that only the intended audience group was allowed into the event area. I also was given the task to distribute mandatory papers to seniors that would inform them of the fees that they could be expected to pay this year. When looking back at the event, I've noticed the amount of work that was put into making this event the success it came out to be. Plans had been made to determine where tables would be placed, as well as determining who would be assisting at which table. However, the event could have been better had we put that bit more effort into promoting the event, drawing in a bigger crowd. As for the event itself, we did magnificently. Tables were well decorated any very attracting. The music created a very upbeat and energetic atmosphere. However one problem I came to notice was a lack of communication, with one event worker leaving without notifying the others. In a real job, this lack of notification would lead to a reprise, seeing as it could disrupt the flow of work. And this was not done by only one individual, but by a small sum of workers. This small issue aside, the event was a success. Although, in the future, it may be advisable to increase the target audience, allowing us to further spread information of our up and coming events.
