The Halfway Mark

Hi Everyone!

I’m officially halfway done with my summer internship!

This past weekend I got to do some more sightseeing in the Bay Area, which included riding an infamous San Francisco cable car. I’ll admit that traveling up and down SF’s steep hills was a bit precarious at times, but the views were spectacular and well-worth the slight rise in blood-pressure. Once I disembarked from the cable-car, I walked along Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco’s historic fishing district. Despite the plethora of crowded shops and wandering tourists, the views of San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island from the wharf were breath-taking. Due to San Francisco’s vast geographical size and significant historical past, there are endless sights to see here. I’m hoping to squeeze in as many as I can in the next few weeks!

Meanwhile, at MAKM I worked on honing my marketing skills. Every month, MAKM sends out a newsletter to each of its patrons advertising subscription prices and the upcoming concert season lineup. This past week I assisted in constructing the newsletter for month of June.* Even though the concert season doesn’t begin until October, it’s important to advertise the season throughout the summer to acquire new patrons and spread the word. In addition to writing the newsletter, I created an official Twitter account for MAKM. Over the past few years, MAKM has been working to attract more young adults to their chamber series. As a 21st century college student, I understand the significant impact that social media sites, such as Twitter, have on the lives of young adults. Hopefully the new Twitter account will help advertise MAKM’s season to a younger audience. Check it out: https://twitter.com/MusicatKohl

Overall, I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by here. Maybe it’s because I’ve yet to have a good amount of down time or maybe it’s the fact that almost every day has been sunny and pleasant. Whatever it is, I know that I’ll certainly miss this place when I’m gone.
