Thinking About the Future.

Serious Fun. 

Recently I've been spending a little time everyday thinking about where I would like my life to go. What I would like to learn before officially leaving Shepherd University and going out into the world on my own. 

Since beginning my time here at Shepherd I've become very interested in Advertising and Public Relations. I have also always thought it would be fun to be an event coordinator, to make staff schedules, plan food and drink arrangements, as well as plan entertainment, send out invitations, and all the other work it takes to do this type of job. Therefore, for my project I plan to plan an event and include a press kit as well as advertisements for the event.

As for my event, I have been an employee of The Little Gym for the Past three years I have found a home with this company.  Not only do I love the ability to have "Serious Fun"playing with the kids and teaching them gymnastics, but I truly believe in the developmental aspect of the program. This is why once I've graduated from Shepherd University I am hoping to pursue a career with The Little Gym International.

I've decided to organize a fun and necessary event for The Little Gym of Hagerstown. This years Summer Enrollment Party! The Little Gym is always very successful through the school years with  student numbers rising from fall to winter while the cold weather is about. Unfortunately, during the summer this is not the case, many parents choose to have their children in other programs such as swimming and soccer and do not see the benefits of the Little Gyms air conditioned and fun facility. Parents do not always take advantage of our Parent Survival Nights, Birthday Bashes and summer camps but this event will hopefully inform and persuade parents to enroll for the summer semester.
