Reaching out

So, apparently, I collect jobs like some people collect cars. Or stamps, or antiques or whatever. I've recently accepted a new position at my REI-- outreach specialist.

How exactly will I be reaching out, you ask? Well, I'll be handling our relationships with the local non-profit organizations as well as the relationship our store has with the public. I get to organize and host service projects (ivy pulling, tree planting, etc.), attend and host REI sponsored events (Banff film festival, Bridge Pedal, etc.) and plan and schedule clinics and classes at my store. It's going to be a big change from my job now, but also a rewarding change. I can't wait to start-- which will be at the end of March, after I train my replacement. As if I could be replaced!
