Hand over Day...

Hi,

Excitement is brewing and I will say I am rather nervous. My supervisor left on holiday on June 1st, this meant that she had to hand over tasks to all of us in the office as she will be away for 5 weeks. Today the CEO Fiona Kalaf, took us out for lunch so we could have a proper de-briefing session, coffee and macaroons!

Melissa handed over to me the following:
. Social Media
. HBF Run Prizes
. HBF Run database log
. Media Monitors
. Stress Down Day
. Suicide Prevention Month
. BDSC - Wine Wall
           - EDM
           - Fashion Shoot
           - Social Media (Twitter Account) 

It seems like a lot but I am very excited to take over and be able to show Lifeline WA what I can do. Of course I still have a supervisor, Natalie Bird, Fundraising coordinator, I report to her and she tracks my progress. I am excited to be able to take on these tasks and really use what I have learnt, I will admit I though it weird at first for a company to hand over so many different jobs to a volunteer. I have realised that it must mean they think I have the skills necessary to be able uphold and do these jobs well. The one task I am looking forward to the most is Stress Down Day.

Stress Down Day is a National Lifeline initiative that all Lifeline networks get on board. Lifeline WA are taking this initiative and putting a spin on it. What they have asked me to do is put together a booklet of information using both Lifeline's information and my own research that ask for a call to action from corporate clients to fundraise for us. Within the booklet I must talk about where the donations go, how to donate, what stress does to the body, fun activities that work places can get involved in etc... I then have the privilege  of sending these to our corporate clients. Along with that I also must come up with an idea that the Lifeline WA offices can get involved in as well.

I look forward to posting about how I'm going on all these new tasks, till next time...

Regards,
Karla Cavalli
