As soon as I got into the office this morning, I had a stack of new CYD paperwork to get to. I'm starting to become excited to see it, since I now know exactly where everything goes and am able to problem solve myself. Next to this new paperwork, however, were some instructions from Emily to write Thank You notes to people who donated to the education department during Amplify Austin. I spent most of the morning hand-writing about 15 thank you notes which I then stuffed into envelopes, stamped and mailed off to our donors. I must say, I'm getting pretty good at signing Emily's name :) Every week, it is emphasized to me how important donors are. Even in my internship at Williamson Museum - I spend so much time sending correspondence to donors. I'm sure this is a common theme at non-profits everywhere, but it's just making me realize that there really are people out there willing to support these great institutions. It's a very refreshing realization!
