Today I worked with the special events department, which was great because there was an event this morning. Most of the special events are held in the PNC Club area, and there aren’t many events during the season due to availability.
The event this morning was the Rotary Club of Durham, which is held most Monday’s at the ballpark. I helped set-up and take down the event, which was similar to the set-up for most of the events held at the ballpark. The catering is done on-site, which makes it a great place to hold events. During the meeting, we got to eat the food and stay out of the way of the guests. After the meeting was over, we had to return the room to normal game-day set-up because there was a game tonight as well.
After finishing up with Rotary, most of the day was spent responding to emails and phone calls about potential events or getting the final details for upcoming events. The season is the down time for special events, but there is lots of planning happening because most events are planned months in advance. I got to respond to a few emails and even book an event in their event software myself.
