Friday I helped out a lot with the business side of Fine Arts. I did the programming again where I type up and alphabetize names in recital programs, which is easy but time-consuming. Then I went through files. Fine Arts does a lot of off-site work where they visit schools and have art/music workshops. Each off-site spot (which are mostly just schools including Hawken, Andrews Osborne, St. Gabriel, etc.) has its own folder where all records are kept, like contracts and copies of e-mails. I went through all of the folders and pulled out unnecessary information, copies of papers, fax covers, and anything from more than a couple years ago. This was satisfying to be finished with, and kind of challenging since I wasn't exactly sure what I could pull out. I didn't want to accidentally pull out something really important and shred it. This was valuable to my sponsor since it was a step towards putting all of these files on the computer.
There was a benefit event at Fine Arts on Friday evening, so I also helped with the behind the scenes part of that. I cleaned glass cases that would hold signs later for the items in the "Chinese Raffle," and then made a board that would show the raffle winners. I also typed up and cut signs that would go up on the baked goods that were for sale. I didn't go to the benefit event because my sponsor said she didn't want/need me there, but I definitely feel that I contributed over these few weeks to making it a success.
