Well, our time is up here at the Chamber and it is a bittersweet good-bye. Lindsay and I have had so much fun interning at the Chamber and have not only learned about social media but also more about Siouxland and community members. It has been a great experience that neither of us will ever forget!
Chelsey- “I would like to say thanks to everyone who read our blogs and “liked” them on Facebook or left a comment. It really meant a lot to me! I’d also like to thank everyone at the Chamber that helped make this experience such a great one for me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Chris’s expertise in thank-you notes, Beth’s camera recording abilities, Nicole’s help unjamming the printer, Joseph’s push to be an entrepreneur all the time, Barbara and Teresa’s hilarious comments throughout the day, and Debi’s stylish outfits to try to imitate. And don’t forget, Mary’s smiling face when I arrive every day and Dianne’s hard work fixing my computer when it’s slow. Not only was it great to work with amazing people every day but I also had a great time interviewing and writing about the local business community members.
Well, as for future plans, after graduation on May 8th, I will be driving down to Texas to live and work! It’s a big step but I’m definitely ready for sunny days and “a whole other country” atmosphere. I haven’t quite landed a job yet, but I’m hoping to get one with a public relations firm. I’ll keep my fingers crossed! But thanks again to our social media friends and God bless!”
Lindsay- “This semester has gone by so fast! I have learned so much during my time here at the Chamber, and met a lot of wonderful and interesting people. Thank you to everyone for reading our blogs and interacting with us on Facebook and Twitter. I know you will give the next interns a wonderful welcome as well. I am very much looking forward to graduation and am excited for the future. As some of you may know, I recently got engaged to the wonderful and amazing Jeremy McClure of the Sioux City Police Department, so I will be very busy planning and preparing for our coming wedding. I am excited to get back into acting both locally and, hopefully, regionally. I also plan on writing, writing, writing as much as I can. Next year I am planning on furthering my education in graduate school. I am very tied to Sioux City. My roots are deep here, so I will be around, at least for the near future. Thanks again to everyone here at the Chamber, its members, and the Siouxland community.”
