Events Galore at Atlanta Magazine

I have been very busy throughout the last few weeks at Atlanta Magazine! First, I finished my work for the Top Doctors event as it occurred on June 19^th. Throughout the past couple of weeks, the other intern, Jessica, and I were instructed to call all 350 doctors offices and ask if the nominated doctor had received his or her invitation. Our boss, Randy, was worried about the RSVP count at the time, so this really helped as we were able to resend an invitation if they were not sure if they had received it or not. Randy was very grateful for our work, because when we reached the event, the turnout was great. On the day of the event, Jessica and I arrived at about 9:30 at the office where we stuffed the “goodie bags” with a few other employees. Jessica and I then worked until about 3 to get all of the nametags in plastic sleeves, put them in alphabetical order, and transport them to the event. For the rest of the night, Jessica and I stood at the Sponsored Giveaway table. Mini Cooper sponsored the event, so they were offering two packages of a weekend stay at The Westin Hotel as well as a Mini Cooper to use for the weekend. The event went really well – from speakers, to good food, to great giveaways, - everyone who attended definitely enjoyed the event and felt honored to be named a Top Doctor!

            I also attended the Crown Royal event the following Wednesday, which was a Whisky tasting event. Though Jessica and I were not very involved with the planning that went into the event, it was still great to attend. We stood outside in the driveway and checked each car in, which was very busy (and very hot in the Atlanta heat). We had to eventually turn people away once the venue hit capacity! Randy was extremely appreciative and let us know that previous interns had bad attitudes regarding similar tasks. Even though it’s not the most glorious task, I know that somebody has to do it!

            In the next few weeks, we don’t have any events. I’m looking forward to working on basic things in the office and seeing what Randy does on a daily basis!
