This week, I did a lot of researching for Overwatch. The first thing I did was research places in Columbus that we could get a custom poster board and poster stand from. I found that Staples and Office Depot had easy processes that weren’t super expensive. They also had poster stand add-ons. The delivery fees varied based on how quickly you wanted the poster board to get delivered, but none of them took very long. Amazon also had some quality poster board stands that we could buy. I created a list that included all of the prices and relevant information. 

Next, I was tasked with researching how a nonprofit can create a Venmo account. Overwatch currently has a Paypal account that they use to collect money, and Eric wants to add Venmo because a lot of people use it. It is also very easy to use and setup. The instructions said that a Paypal business account was required to setup a nonprofit Venmo account, so it is good that Overwatch already has that. I then looked for the best and least costly point of sale systems for OWP to use. I narrowed it down to Paypal and Square card readers/terminals. I listed the prices, donation and transaction fees for each of them and sent that to Eric as well. 

Other than what Eric has had me working on, I’ve started creating my presentation that I will share at our closing luncheon next Friday. I am nervous to present in front of everyone but I am also very excited to detail what I’ve been doing all summer. Despite being a huge extrovert, public speaking is still hard for me. I will do my best!

Until next time,
