Diary of a Single Mom

Do you ever have one of those weeks were you feel like you put almost everything on hold to focus your energy to helping a project pull together in the nick of time?

Last week was one of those weeks for the North Carolina One Economy office. One Economy’s new webisode on pic.tv, A Diary of a Single Mom, had its East Coast premier in Atlanta last Thursday. The North Carolina office became the call-in point for all RSVP’s to this event and everyone in the office came together to answer the calls that never seemed to stop coming in. We answered 1000s of questions and took an equally large number of RSVP’s on the preparation end of One Economy’s largest event to date. In those few days, I know everyone had a couple things on their to-do list that didn’t get done on the day they were planning on getting to them, but everyone kept truckin’ and working together, even though the calls didn’t slow down until after the event was over.

We all got to attend the event and see the fruits of our labors. Sadly, there aren’t any pictures or flip videos from the event (to my knowledge) to put up on the blog; all the VISTA’s that attended were stationed to help the event run smoothly through the night. About 4000 people showed up to see the premier and the response that was heard as people were ushered out of the church was very positive.

It was a great event that got a lot of people excited about what One Economy’s doing right now and hopefully will keep them excited enough to check out pic.tv. Pic.tv is a great resource that I’m finally bringing to really understand after seeing the webisodes and people respond to them in a group setting. I’m excited to see where this leads for One Economy over the next couple years.
