FYI – UPDATE – Pledge form created, published and distributed

Working all day and late into the night Saturday  and Sunday volunteers kicked off  of the Bolles Hill Road (BHR) – Save the Bridge Campaign  this weekend.

Many thanks to the volunteers  computers, paper & envelops, gas, personal time, brain power and leg power to get it done.   Here’s what we accomplished:

·         Created the fund raising campaign strategy

·         Developed a  schedule with check point and completion dates

·         Created a 2 page fund raising letter with schedule

·         Created a pledge form

·         Coordinated the entire effort over the internet and telephone

·         Printed 70 copies and stuffed 70 envelops

·         Leg work – hit the road and distributed to the residents of Bolles Hill Road, Mead Road, Pleasant View Drive, Apalachin, Little Meadows, and local business.

·         Published the fund raising letter and pledge form via email and BHR blog

·         Developed pledge tracking system

The success of the day was when the pledges and phone calls started coming in.

We have a tight very short timeframe for raising the $10,000 to save the bridge.

Special thanks to Paul & Vivian Novak, Sue & Dave Diehl, Bob & Donna Gemmel, Dave Hellman, Pat Brown and Ann Hoffman.
