Goals
- Enjoy a plan-free, relaxing weekend. June has been a crazy month and for the first weekend in a long time, I have zero obligations or major events. My only plans for this coming weekend involve a huge stack of magazines and lots of pool time. YES.
- Successfully close out my year as VP of Programs for the Philadelphia Public Relations Association. My last event takes place this week and then I’ll move on to my new role as VP of Communications. I’m excited for a new challenge!
