Monday:
I spent a lot of Monday contacting all of the companies that we are working with to confirm the details of all of our orders before my supervisor left that afternoon. Also, I spent a good portion of the morning going through all of the registration packets and double-checking all of the information I had entered on flight arrivals and departures, to make sure we have people at the airports at the right times. I emailed a gentleman at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie asking him for a welcome letter for the tournament to put in the event handbook. Also, I spent a lot of time putting new information into event notebook and reorganizing the notebook so as to make its contents flow more reasonably.

Tuesday:
Following up with all of the companies I left messages with the day before. I confirmed the details on the picture frames and signed an invoice to order those. Also, I drafted a letter to the Graphics company to put in writing the details on the graphics we will need for the signature scrolls to go inside the picture frames. I went through the details with the printer, and I confirmed all of those. My major project for this day was getting all of the invitations in the mail for the Honored Guest Reception. I had to print, fold and label all of the invitations. I sent out a mass email to all the delegations concerning discounts on car rentals for the tournament.

Wednesday:
No one was in the office this week due to a sport business meeting in New Jersey, so I worked from home for the last couple of days. I spent some time working on updating the Event handbook, that was my predominant job for this week.

Thursday:
So as to respond to a couple of emails, I had to go into the office to get some information I needed. I went through event notebook to confirm the Registration summary. I also went through the family registrations to confirm who had paid, who hadn't, and who was purchasing a meal plan. I spent some time in the evening working on the event handbook for the tournament.

Friday:
I was out of the office, at home packing for school...:)

Most of my work this week involved working with either excel or Microsoft Word. However, most of what I did involved phone calls and emails to confirm details of the tournament.

This week, I felt as though I got a lot of work done, and I hammered out a lot of details on some of the things we are ordering. I was entrusted with a lot to do this week with my supervisor being out of town.

The tournament is coming closer, so there is going to be a lot of work for me to get done. This next week, I will not be in the office due to school starting. Because the tournament is coming closer, there will be a lot for me to get done from home. This is going to require me to keep in constant contact with my supervisor to find out what needs to be done.
