My Last 2010 Post

This is my last 2010 post, to wrap up this past year.  For this blog I truely don’t know what to say or think of the last year.  Was it good? Was it bad? I am not sure; I honestly have not thought much about it.  This is what I do know about the past year

Some of the good things about 2010 are attending Loyalist PR, and finding my career path finally.  Loyalist PR is amazing not perfect but a good course.

Another Foursquare, the whole program/site I enjoy and I still think it’s an amazing thing for businesses to get into.  Foursquare could open new marketing tactics.

The top thing would be that I did learn how to blog, one go do thing about the year, if not I wouldn’t be doing this right now.  Thanks to Loyalist PR again.

With all good things, there are still bad moments.  There are many things I didn’t like about the year.  I don’t want to bring down the New Year but two are the amount of people passing away due to cancer, and the amount of problems in Belleville, Ont.

But with everything that has been said I am proud to say Good-bye 2010, Hello 2011.

Thanking the Local People

Just a quick blog on something I had noticed over the holidays.  I had heard some talk about a dinner one of the local churches were having and I decided to attend it with my family.  My mom and her friends go to them every year, talking about the good food.  This year I had heard others talking about the Parkdale Baptist Church having a dinner and I thought I would go.

The meal was alright, the entertainment was good.  I am not sure if it was something for me, I’m just not a fan of huge crowds for dinner and lining up to eat.  I like the whole big family thing but 12 people is good for me.

I got thinking, for the locals in the area this was their family, most these people came with a one or two people and knew most the others, than I got think these dinner was what some people to forward to each year, as a kind of group get together.  I found it a good way to get out and get to know more people in your community.

I do have to thank Parkdale Baptist Church ad all other non for-profit organizations that help out this this holiday get together and dinners they provide to the communities.

A Busy December

December has been so busy.  I know December is always busy for everyone due to Christmas that month but I did not plan my December to be this busy.  My school semester ended on December 16 but my work has not stopped.  I didn’t thinking about it at the time but that day would have been two months blogging.  December is almost over now and before we know it, it will be January, so here is a little inside information on how December went.    So much has happened this December.

I tried to relax for a couple days but I was thinking to much about Christmas and getting it done and the shovelling all winter long, to add to all, I have had my internship that is coming up in the spring on my mind, I wish I could just get to work on it.

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and or Holiday, if you didn’t than I hope you had a good week.  My week was amazing, stressful, and fun.  Christmas was amazing and Santa was amazing to us.  I hope Santa was good to everyone else. Now Christmas is over.  Thank You, Santa, see you next year.

Another thing that has been an experience for myself in December, I started Volunteering for the Belleville Bearcats.  I just volunteered to help promote their upcoming event in January, so look for those posts soon.  I am looking to start their social media, like facebook as well so if you interested you and check them out there soon, as well.

Now with a total 4,591 Page views, I am looking to reach the 5,000 mark soon.  It’s been just over two months blogging and this will only be my tenth post in December, but sixtieth post over the time frame of blogging.  I hope you all keep reading and look forward to the upcoming posts.

Blogger Report: Where Attention is Needed!!!

This is just a quick blog to bring the attention, where it is needed most.

In my opinion my Blogger Reports are where the attention is needed, so always remember to read them.  I made the Blogger Reports to get their attention out there and help out some local people or business in the local area, for that reason you should do more then read them if there is something going oon you should attend it.  So please make sure you read the Blogger Reports

Here are some good Blogger Reports.

There is a post how Youth Darts needs members, the organization is located in Belleville, Ont. Downtown. Here is the Post; Youth Darts Needs Members.

The Most Handy Gloves I have ever seen, the Twittens.  Check them out; Twitten Hands Needed Them

One of the most important Blogger Reports are about the Canadian cancer society and there connection with foursquare and they need check-ins in December 2010.  Check out; Please Help a Local Charity.

My Experience with Community Partners For Success was  another.

Work Made Fun

This is just a quick blog on the lovely local weather we are having.  I had woke up this morning and saw all the lovely snow on the ground.  I had a dinner to go to tonight and work to do today; I had not planned on going outside today.

I had noticed a young kid shovelling snow so I thought there was no time like now to get the shovelling done.  I had gone out and help him and than done mine.  After finishing mine, I had willing shovelled a few other front paths, knowing they would never do the same for me, as they didn't, but it was a good deed done.

Once I was done the front I had moved around back.  After shovelling  a path in my backyard, a friend had stop over, and we start by making a little snow hill for the little ones and one thing lead to another and we were out there for 5 hours and cleared 5 yards of snow, that was about a foot high, into a tobogganing hill, about 10 feet long.

After playing for a while the hill was well packed down.  The snow did not look like it was going to let up so we had headed on inside hopeing the snow would keep snowing all day and over night.  As I am type this now, I noticed it has slowed down but my phone does say it will be snowing until Monday morning, I am sure the work will pack on and a lot more fun will come due to the work.

I think Belleville or some business in the local area should hold a snowman building competition, I think it would be a fun event a lot would attended to, good for local branding also, it would build your customer list.  I wish I knew one I could go to, until then I will be building them with the little one in the back yard.

Belleville, are you ready for the snow? They say it going to snow for 24 more hours and its back on Wednesday.   Other than that the say leading up to Christmas looks sunny and not to cold, so does Christmas day.  Christmas looks to be a white one this year, and a good one.

& Safe Holidays

To Everyone

Loyalist PR Christmas Get Together

Loyalist PR had a get together with the students after semester one was over, for a little Christmas get together.  In one house? This was understandable for the small classes Loyalist College has had for Loyalist’s Public Relations Course in the following years.  This year we started with 42-44 students, more than double some of the years in the past.  Personal I thought we would do it at Loyalist College but one of my classmate had suggested we could have the get together at his house, he had enough room for the all of us.  Now, my class is a wild bunch, I was sure he could not fit us all, if we did all fit it would be a tight fit.

As arrived I had to slap myself to make sure  I was not sleeping because the driveway I had just pulled into looked like something out of a fairy tale movie.  Yard as far as the eye could see, with forest all around, and mansion in the middle, I must add a dozen like 25 foot solar panels in the back yard.

The day was amazing.  We started with some socializing and exploring the giant house.  I must say the house was epic. 

The get together was a pot luck, so everyone had brought something, and I must say the food was also amazing.  The class had planed out a Secret Santa for the class to do, with the limit of a $10 dollar gift, which was another amazing idea the instructor thought of.

We all were all given a secret gift, which was a personalized 2011 calendar, from the instructor.  The day was filled with fun, song, socializing, food, and just an all around good day.

I must say thank you to the classmate that hosted the event, also opening his wine up to us, everything was amazing.

Loyalist PR is such a friendly course, but the Christmas break is needed for this student.
