Week 12
Monday I worked at the Pensacola State College's Pensacola Campus VITA site. I gathered success stories from people that were getting their taxes done that day.
On Friday I typed and put together the success stories. I also worked on printing out and putting together the pieces that will be matted and framed for the VITA volunteer awards.
Below is the myfreetaxes.com ad that I designed and then it was translated by someone within company.

Last week in March
On Monday, I spent the entire time on a save the date graphic for United Way's day of caring. On Friday I spent my time at the Pensacola State College VITA site. At that site, I interviewed people who were getting their taxes done and the volunteers that were helping them. I interviewed a lot of happy residents that were pleased with the service that the VITA program is bringing to our community. I will take what I have gathered from my time at the site and write a few short success stories.

It's March!
This year seems to be going by very fast... It's March already!?
On Monday, I worked on the ad design for myfreetaxes.com. This ad will be in the La Costina publication. The ad will be translated and then sent back to me for revisions with the new wording. We hope that by creating this ad, the latino population in our area will be better informed on this great service. Myfreetaxes.com/unitedwayescarosa has a free translation service 24/7 that they will be able to take advantage of. Along with the online service, two of the VITA sites have spanish-speaking individuals on their volunteer staff.
This is the ad before it will be translated into spanish:
Wednesday, Gretchen and I brainstormed campaign ideas for myfreetaxes.com/unitedwayescarosa. Unfortunately, the numbers are down on the use of the myfreetaxes site. This is very important because if we do not have a certain number of people that utilize the myfreetaxes site, a substanstial amount of funding will be lost next year. Gretchen and I are currently working on contacting colleges in our area to promote myfreetaxes through a mass email to their students, or possibly implementing a free tax seminar on their campus.
We are still working other possible ideas and it will be interesting to see how all of this will come together at the close of tax season on April 15th.
I also created a rack card on Wednedsay that is specifically for myfreetaxes.com/unitedwayescarosa.

Last week in February
This is the last week in February! On Monday I worked on a template for the monthly reports for the 2-1-1 department. The department was having trouble branding their reports so below is what I made them. They can use this template for each new report by simply changing the date at the top and updating the numbers in the tables.
On Friday I worked on brainstorming for Myfreetaxes.com. United Way is working on getting more people in our area involved in completing their taxes online. I researched possible locations to have a "Learn to do your taxes" event and started on the design for a rack card that specifically promotes myfreetaxes.com/unitedwayescarosa.

This week at United Way...
This week at United Way I sent out the mass email that I have been working on for the past few weeks. I worked on putting together an email list of the churches in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties.
On Friday I worked on designing two posters for VITA that will be displayed at UWF, directing people to where they can get their taxes done at the University Commons.
This is one of the posters that I made:
