Exciting weeks at Pro Peninsula

It has been another exciting week at Pro Peninsula!!!

I feel like the team and I have achieved so much! We have worked on finalizing the Film Program for the Wild & Scenic Film festival : http://www.propeninsula.org/window/1/55.html as well as finding sponsors for the WSEFF and participant for our environmental fair.

I have been busy and my head was spinning by the end of the day but I feel like organizing a Film Festival is such a great process to be a part of and to put your input towards.


Its really been so fun and exciting ! I feel proud to present you guys the trailer of my favorite piece if the WSEFF "Tapped"....The trailer is so amazing and its an absolute MUST SEE : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72MCumz5lq4.


It'll be fun - Come out on Tuesday, March 23rd and Thursday March 25th, at the Hazard Center’s Ultrastar Cinemas in San Diego.
See you there!- Rowena

Rowena's Experience Interning at Pro Peninsula

It's been one exciting week since I started interning here at Pro Peninsula and I have learned so much already. It is truly great to work with people who can teach you things you never even heard of, to explore the world of national and domestic non- profits, and to achieve insight knowledge upon environmental protection programs and efforts. I am stoked to be a part of the the Pro Peninsula Team and to have a leadership position in organizing the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, WSEFF.

Even though I have organized professional events in the past the WSEFF is certainly a unique opportunity for me. It is amazing to see how many people are involved in organizing and planning an event at the scope of the WSEFF. On a day to day basis I am reaching out to the Pro Peninsula volunteer community and interacting not only with our great staff but also with our committee members.

Last night, we held the first committee meeting for this year's Film Festival. My supervisor, Gigi, Frances and myself each spoke to the members and provided them with all the necessary information needed for them to provide their resources such as their knowledge and skills to help us promote and establish the big event.

It was truly exciting to be a part of the meeting and I honestly got a bit nervous prior to the meeting.
I am more than thankful to have the opportunity to partake in something that the San Diego Community can greatly benefit from. The outcome of our Film Festival can and will be powerful and essential to each one of us!

Internship at Pro Peninsula

Hello,

My name is Rowena Serafez and I am the new intern at Pro Peninsula. I am stoked on having the opportunity to connect an internship with my passion which is to help the environment as well as our community.
About me: I was born and raised in Germany. At the age of 19 I decided to start an adventure and moved to the USA by myself. I spend my first two years of college in Rockville, MD where I graduated with an A.A. in International Business in December 2007. In February 2008, I moved to San Diego to attend San Diego State University. Today, I am a senior at San Diego State University and am majoring in Management / Entrepreneurship. I am more than excited about this intern opportunity and look forward to work with the Pro Peninsula community and to network with members as well as friends.

My objectives for this internship are to get as much field experience as possible and to be able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired at school to a hands-on experience at Pro Peninsula. Starting today I will be in a leadership position organizing the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, WSEFF, which will be held in Mission Valley’s hazard Center in San Diego. I will act as a liaison between the volunteers who are helping us and the company, Pro Peninsula, with the organization of the WSEFF. I am more than excited about this opportunity and look forward to work with the Pro Peninsula community and to network with members as well as friends.

Cheers,

Rowena Serafez
