Topic Twelve: Thanking Those That Helped You

Topic Twelve: Thanking Those That Helped You

As you're coming closer to completing your internship, it is important to show your appreciation to the people who helped you find success in this course and this term at Classic City PLC. Every community member who took their time to help you deserves a thanks and token of your appreciation. This would include your internship supervisor(s), mentors, parents, etc. Please complete the tasks below to help make sure that the folks who help us will want to continue helping our students and staff in the future.

Task 1: Thank You Letter for Internship Supervisor
a) Click here to open a thank you letter template for your internship supervisor. Fill in the appropriate information and write thoughtful paragraphs that address the information needed for each paragraph. As you go be sure to modify or remove any information from the template that should not be on the final draft. Be sure to use proper spelling and grammar in your letter.

b) Copy and paste your thank you letter onto a Microsoft Word document and save it in your My Documents folder. Place a copy in your advisor's drop box.

c) Edit your thank you letter with your advisor before printing your letter.

d) After editing, print your letter and pick up an envelope from your adviser. Address your envelope.

e) Stuff and seal the envelope. When it's ready to go, give it to your advisor to mail.

Task 2: PLC Spring Cookout Invitations
Create invitations for the guests you would like to attend the PLC's annual Spring Cookout, and present your guests (people who assisted you this term (service learning supervisor(s), mentors, parents, etc) with the invitations. You may choose to make a paper invitation or create an evite. Be creative and have fun while meeting the criteria below.

Each invitation needs to contain the following elements:

  • Event Title: PLC Spring Cookout Celebration
  • Host Name: Classic City PLC
  • Telephone: (706) 353-2323
  • Location Name: Classic City PLC
  • Address: 240 Mitchell Bridge Road • Athens, GA 30606
  • Date: Thursday April 29th 
  • Start Time: 4:00 p.m.
  • Message: Create a personal message that explains that the cookout is a celebration for all people associated with the success of the PLC and its programs this year and that you hope they can attend to help us celebrate.
At a minimum you should create at least two paper invitations, or send out at least two evites. One of those two needs to be your service learning supervisor. Show your advisor when you have completed this task so they can write down the names of the people you invited and award your points for completing this activity.

Please make sure that you actually present or email your invitations within the next week so that your guests have enough time to arrange for it in their schedule.
