This Past Week…Hectic Hilary

How hectic has the last week been…Gracie left on Wednesday to visit her son in Arizona and from then on, it was nonstop running back and forth between school and Ruth’s Chris. Wednesday came and went with a flurry of phone calls and emails with vendors. The Networking Meeting at Lucky Strike was incredible, talking with different managers from restaurants and establishments in the area. It was amazing to hear about everything that these people do to market and promote their businesses, all the while learning about what to do and what not to do. The Hyatt, Palomino, The Parlor, and The Melting Pot managers and sales people were all in attendance and all were interested in promoting their business together. I got a lot of information that day, and as this happens quite often, I hope to be able to go back and learn even more from them.

Thursday was my first official day on my own (without Gracie) at Ruth’s Chris and it was very Internet oriented, as I am in charge of the Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn Pages. Trying to come up with new catchy phrases every day is a putting my creativity to the test, but it’s always good reassurance when people comment on what I have written.

Friday entailed a lot of emails back and forth between Gracie and myself, trying to get the final design for the Bellevue Collection cards ready, but we finally did it, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out! This was my first design project and I think it went very well, with the help of the Kinko’s design program of course. I also went to different Event Rental Stores and picked up catalogs and linen samples to show the customers of our new catering service what each has to offer.

Coming up:
-Lunch at The Parlor with Gracie and Kayce
-Candidates Forum at Bellevue City Hall
