2/3
This week at celebrate, I spent Thursday through saturday doing the usual! Working events, in the office putting together menus for clients, emailing and contacting clients and so on.
In relation to my studies, I was assigned the task of specifically figuring out the compost situation. Good news! We are in a little wedge of the county where composting is free! Rhonda, my boss, asked me to reach out the the sales rep, contact our building owners upstairs to get them on board, configure how to introduce composting buckets into the facility/how many buckets and try to coordinate a plan for compost pick up. I’m pretty much in charge of it and considering she leaves town for a week she wants me to get to work on it while shes gone. The biggest problem we face, as I mentioned last week, is how to fit all our garbage, recycling and compost bins into a small garage so that all bins are easy to access for each pick up company (although it seems kind of silly to me that it is a huge inconvenience to move a bin around when they’re already getting paid for it anyways and its for a good cause) but, I need to look into it. I might not be an issue at all but I have to contact the different companies to make sure.
In other news, yesterday we had an event through the people upstairs (Home Builders Association, our owners) for a retirement party hosting upwards of 250 people. What is really cool is Oregon’s governor came! She is friends with the retiree and I got to watch part of her speech, after the event she had a line of people waiting to talk to her.
The food for this event included 300 mini burgers, a ton of corn dogs, cheese platters, hummus and pita bread and apricot meatballs. All of the food was delicious but for some reason this crowd was more of drinkers (we hosted a bar) than eaters, so all of us workers got to take a ton of food home, yay!
