Bats In The Belfry

I received word yesterday that I have been chosen to be a Facilities Coordinator for a local church! The church is 105 years old and many couples love to rent the facility to have their wedding. I will be coordinating each wedding event, making sure the church is in good order for the bride and groom's special day. I will also be adding my skills as an event planner and administrative assistant, dealing with contracts, forms, venues, etc. During my interview for this position I was told a story of one of the earlier weddings held at the church. It was in the winter and at one point if you looked up you would see some black things hanging around. As you continued to look, you realized that there were bats flying around! Eeww! The exterminator that had been called the next day stated that the bats had made their home in the rafters for the winter--it was a warm place for them. We just happened to "wake them up" when the wedding was held that day. Fortunately, no one had screamed or made a scene about them during the wedding, and matters were taken care of quickly thereafter. I am very excited about this position, and have begun my wedding emergency list. I am putting together a kit of things that might be needed incase of an emergency, like a hem that needs to be fixed, or a wedding dress that has gotten soiled, etc. I shouldn't have to worry about any bats in the belfry, but I will be ready for other emergencies. I'll have to keep you posted of my experiences and wedding excitements in the months ahead!
