The last few days, we have done multiple hospital teachings. These included at Tennova North, Parkwest Hospital, and Fort Sanders Regional. It was a great experience getting to meet with nurses and collaborate. We spent time teaching how to make prints and also listening to what works for them. Additionally, we have been actively working to further develop out Precious Prints committee for the upcoming year. This has been a very busy few days for the project!
I have spent 3 hours today drafting our candidate list communications, organizing all interview time slots and questions, and comparing member lists.
Today I went to East Tennessee Children's Hospital to meet with a clinical educator, the nurse that leads the project at ETCH, and a representative from pastoral care. We had great discussions about how to improve the project, new educational ideas and opportunities, and how we can better support our partners that utilize Precious Prints.
Additionally, today I spent a few hours reading through responses and choosing candidates to further develop our Precious Prints team to carry the project on.
We put on an educational meeting and presentation for our partners at Union University. Additionally, I have been working and coordinating our upcoming interviews, as well as communicating with potential new members to continue the project on.
We packaged 330 meals for Vols today! It was a great day!
We traveled to UT Medical Center to meet with our project partners on all of the different floors. During our meeting, we were receiving project feedback and working to develop better ways to utilize the project for our Precious Print recipients. Additionally, we are working on expanding the project into another sector of the hospital.
We met together to strategically coordinate our future positions on the Precious Prints team. Additionally, we began coordination for our annual fundraising event.
Fundraising breakdown, distribution of volunteer items, and semester of service recap.
Saturday October 28th was our annual Precious Prints fundraiser. As a member of the Precious Prints committee, I had many different jobs. I obtained all of the volunteers, helped set up everything at the event, hosted families at the event, and helped break everything down and cleaned up the UT gardens at the end of the event. Additionally, I also picked up supplies from donors and returned equipment at the end of the event.
