Ways to support the celebration…
This is not a fundraiser—it’s a fun raiser! The purpose is to celebrate our communities and way of life. We’ll also honor some special community citizens—the Piscataquis County 911 Dispatchers! Here are some ways you can help support this fundraiser.
- Attend the potluck supper, meeting, or both!
- Bring people with you to the potluck supper, meeting, or both. Create a carpool!
- If you truly can’t attend, drop off a dish for the potluck supper. We can also use rolls, butter, drinks…
- Call some friends and tell them about it. Encourage them to come.
- Download and print some flyers then post them around your community–stores, banks, town offices, hair salons…
- Visit the Valley Grange Facebook Page and share the event.
- Tell your local fire firefighters, EMS, LEOs, etc. about it. They appreciate our dispatchers too!
- Invite any local, county, state, and federal politicians you can think of! They usually love things like this! If they can’t attend, ask them to endorse and promote the event!
- Write a letter to the editor of local publications sharing your appreciation for our dispatchers and mention Community Night.
- Think spring and hope for great weather.
- If you have any questions or ideas regarding the event, contact Walter Boomsma, Program Director.
- If you’d like to help with the potluck supper and have questions, contact Mary Annis or Janice Boomsma.
In a recent blog post, Seth Godin noted that ideas that spread win and because of technology and the changes in media, ideas that spread “horizontally” spread the fastest and farthest. Yelling from the rooftops doesn’t work so well. Telling a neighbor or friend does.
