More Office Work, More Documents

This week was filled with a bunch of office work. I looks as though since the Thanksgiving holiday is next week, we are trying to get all documents taken care of and out. I am using the handy mail merge trick Imani showed me to get proper headings on all of the letters that are needed to be printed out.

While working on stuffing envelopes I was aking about the upcoming Pride celebration. I was wondering about how they planned to tacked training this year. Imani looked at me. He kind of laughed it off but since being at Pride for the past few months, she wants me to be a major part in training this year.

As I told her before about my final 894 project, it looks as though I might be able to build out one of the mondules to see it it'll work. I told her that I had some stuff built out for information booth already. So I will be using the information booth module as a test run for Pride 2010. I am excited and hope that it will be useful. We'll see.

Various Pride Facebook Accounts

I must admit that I am very much so a Facebook junkie. I go on it to see what all of my friends are doing. I think it's a great way to connect with current and past friends. Today I was sent a request to add San Jose Pride as a friend. I added them as I added SF Pride. On both accounts, you can see parties and events that both organizations are throwing. It's a great way to find inforation but is it really interactive?

I bring this question up because I associate SF Pride to an organization not a person. When I want to talk with someone, I look to find someone not an entire entity. So maybe my thinking for creating a community needs to be re-thought. I think I need to still create a community in which information can be shared but I also need to have a figurehead as the spokes person to the site.

I think this relationship will draw people in rather than keeping them out. I want to make people comfortable and welcome. Having a personal touch I believe is a good asset.
