These past few weeks I have been given the task of editing the contacts list of the Foundation. Throughout the list I have editing the web address of individual groups that may have changed throughout the past years. Another aspect that I have changed is the mailing address for each organization. This will hopefully make it much easier for the mailing of the newsletter as well as create an opportunity to mail invitations. Lastly I would also like to add on any history related organizations that are new in the Roanoke Valley. All in all this contacts list is
being compiled into an Excel Spreadsheet, with this I will lay out all contacts to where they are far more accessible for anyone to use.
This activity has been one that I have been able to mostly do from my laptop, however I will say there has been many different documents that I have had to refer to. From past contact list to previous award recipients, there is many separate groups within the Valley that I have had to consider. The skills that I have learned from this activity would have to be along the lines of organization and research. Not only am I trying to compile a large amount of contacts into one document, but I am also having to research if there are any changes in the organization’s email, website, mailing address, and phone number.
