To
whom
is
may
concern,
I
am
writing
to
wholeheartedly
to
endorse
Arielle
Berger
for
a
position
within
your
company
or
organization.
Arielle
contacted
us
in
2015
to
seek
an
internship
with
our
organization
and
as
a
member
of
the
Market
Days
Festival
Event
Staff.
Intown
Concord
is
an
independent
nonprofit
organization
with
a
mission
to
promote
and
enhance
the
business
environment,
cultural
activities,
housing,
and
appearance
of
historic
downtown
Concord.
One
of
the
major
events
we
hold
is
the
annual
Market
Days
Festival.
This
is
a
three
day
festival
held
on
Main
Street,
Concord
NH,
is
free
to
the
community
and
in
its
41st
year!
The
Market
Days
Festival
includes
over
170
businesses
which
set
up
as
street
vendors
along
Main
St.
to
sell
and
market
their
goods
and
services
over
three
days.
Market
Days
also
includes
three
days
of
entertainment.
Intown
Concord
coordinates
and
presents
free
music,
performances
and
demonstrations
in
seven
separate
downtown
park-­‐
like
venues
offering
more
than
70
hours
of
entertainment
to
the
community.
Through
our
marketing
and
advertisement
plan
we
draw
a
crowd
of
more
than
50,000
people,
over
the
course
of
three
days,
from
throughout
greater
Central
New
Hampshire.
Arielle’s
work
as
an
intern
was
critical
to
help
us
organize
and
present
the
Market
Days
Festival.
Arielle’s
primary
duties
were
to
confirm
and
organize
the
Market
Days
performance
groups
in
several
of
the
festival
areas
and
to
be
willing
and
able
to
take
on
any
task
that
needed
to
be
completed.
Arielle
demonstrated
strong
and
professional
communication
skills
including
written,
verbal,
and
in
the
use
of
social
media.
She
had
several
responsibilities
where
she
had
to
write
letters,
draft
and
send
emails
and
make
phone
calls
to
performers,
sponsors,
city
officials
and
the
street
vendors
to
insure
that
these
individuals
had
the
time,
dates
and
information
they
needed.
Arielle
made
phone
calls
to
hundreds
of
vendor
to
insure
they
had
information
they
needed.
She
was
responsible
with
contacting
performance
groups
to
coordinate
and
confirm
date,
time
and
place
of
each
performance.
Arielle
also
was
responsible
for
contacting
and
invite
sponsors
and
city
officials
to
the
Market
Days
kickoff
event.
She
handled
each
task
with
confidence
and
professionalism.
Arielle
has
excellent
computer
and
office
skills.
Arielle
could
think
through
a
task
as
well
as
prioritize
and
handle
multiple
tasks.
Arielle
was
enthusiastic
and
eager
to
take
on
any
task
assigned
to
her.
She
was
flexible
to
work
irregular
hours
and
long
days.
She
would
volunteer
to
run
errands
as
needed
and
to
take
on
new
challenges
as
the
days
of
the
festival
approached.
During
Market
Days,
she
was
the
primary
contact
for
groups
performing
at
several
locations
and
handled
logistics
to
insure
their
participation
at
Market
Days
was
positive.
Arielle
showed
throughout
her
time
with
us
that
she
had
the
skills
to
be
an
asset
to
the
Market
Days
Festival
planning
team.
Arielle’s
role
on
the
team
was
instrumental
in
the
success
of
the
festival
this
year!
