I got to the YMCA today at 9:00 AM. I talked to Kim about writing a couple of press releases for the YMCA. The Marketing Director left last week and a vacancy exists. My undergrad has a writing component, so I was more than happy to contribute. I talked to Linda Reilly to get information about an upcoming Healthy Kids Day. I wrote the press release and had Kim send it to the newspaper (we agreed that coming from a YMCA email address would be better received than from my personal email address). I then worked on alphabetizing the stack of applications for Kim.

Friday, March 22, 2013: I got to the YMCA today at 9:00 AM. The first thing that I had to do was to verify the member applications for Wilkes’ students. I also went into the TRINEXUM program to link all Coventry Cares members as their corporate sponsors. The Coventry Cares members need to verify attendance dates for the initial month of YMCA membership, so I had to check the dates that each came to the YMCA and not that on their paperwork. I also had to enter their email addresses into the Vertical Response program. I left the YMCA at 1:30 PM.

During the past week or so, I have become more acquainted with the TRINEXUM program. Doing a variety of things such as verifying information, writing notes to to the front desk personnel which will alert them to members with different issues when they try to sign in, and billing. I also worked on a survey using SURVEY PRO.

Internship:

I got to the YMCA today by 9:00 AM. The first thing that I had to do was to update the addresses on the Aquatic Director’s roster for swim meets using the Excel program. I also added e-mail addresses that she had. This would allow easier communication between her and swimmers that are not on her team. Previously she had to communicate telephonically or through the US Mail system. Once that was completed I verified information from the latest stack of Wilkes students. I also learned how to register Wilkes’ students as new members using the TRINEXUM program.  With that completed I finished updating information for the Camping Director pertaining to this year’s summer camps. I left the Y at 1:30 PM

Sunday, February 17, 2013:  I got to the YMCA today at 8:30 AM. There was a swim meet at the Wilkes Barre YMCA today that I worked to give me more exposure to the various programs available. I did a little running but most of my day was spent at the concession stand. Many of the concession stand volunteers also had children competing, so my staying there allowed the parents to watch their children. I helped set-up, make and sell various items, then clean up and tear down afterward. I left the YMCA at 6:00 PM

Friday, Feb. 15, 2013: I got to the YMCA today by 9:00 AM. The first thing that I did was to verify that the information on the TRINEXUM program matched the information on the member application. I then worked with the Camp Director inputting email addresses on his camp participants. Before finishing that task, I had to work on various tasks for the Aquatics Director concerning the upcoming swim meet. I mad copies, worked on signage and did different short term tasks. I left the Y at 2:30 PM.

Time today: 5 1/2 hours

Internship, Wednesday, February 13, 2013: I got to the YMCA at 9:00 AM today. The first thing I had to do was put stamps on the envelopes from yesterday’s project. Secondly, I found some duplicate member entries in the TRINEXUM program that I merged. I then worked with the Aquatics Director on things she needed done for the swim meet on Sunday. The first thing I did for her was to add the checks for the competitors. I then made out the bank deposit slip and photocopied the checks to keep as a record. I also began researching information for a Member Survey, that the Membership Director wants me to create. I left the YMCA at 1:00 PM.

Time today: 4 hours
