First off, an announcement: I found a food truck! \u00a0Julie was a little nervous, but it all worked out.<\/p>\n
The thing I am seeing less success with is sponsorships. \u00a0I’m not sure if it has something to do with seeing my name instead of Christine’s, or if I am simply going about it in the wrong way (though I do copy Julie’s format each time I send out an email soliciting a sponsorship from a specific company). \u00a0It also could be that it’s simply a tougher task. \u00a0On the bright side, the new development director starts on October 1st, so communicating with potential sponsors with won’t be part of my job for much longer.<\/p>\n
It feels as though I am making significant progress. \u00a0I don’t have the prior experience to judge where I am in the planning process as compared to where I should be, but it seems like things are moving along well.<\/p>\n
It’s also easy to lose myself in the tasks and forget why I do this work. \u00a0At CASO today, someone new came in. \u00a0 She\u00a0has been concussed for almost five years. \u00a0As she was telling me about her struggles (and signing up for Team Trinity), I was reminded of the people I’m working for. \u00a0As I heal, it’s easy to lose touch with how difficult it used to be to even have a conversation with someone. \u00a0My meeting with this person helped put me back in touch with the struggles of a survivor. \u00a0I hope this humble reminder stays with me for awhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
