Miro's Run T-shirts


Hi Everyone,

I think it would be a good idea to have some t-shirts for the run, especially when we are working an event.

I played around with some design ideas and came up with this.

When and if we have some money I know a silkscreen guy who is reasonable and will do small runs.

Cheers,

David


Street Fair?

I believe there is a big street fair coming up ... this weekend? It could be a great time to have volunteers with clipboards and petitions circulating.

Cheers,

David

Carroll Park Flea Market and Petition

Hi all! We had a great time at the Carroll Park Fair Saturday. We talked to lots of people and collected over 150 signatures for the petition. Thanks to David for taking the morning shift with me, to Jackie for the awesome signs and banner, and to Shelly, who collected most of those signatures by calling over everyone who walked by!

We now have 319 signatures. You can help us get more by collecting signatures from your friends and neighbors. See the May 7 post below for links to the online petition and a printable version.

See you at the June 26 meeting!

Next Meeting

Hi All - The next meeting is officially scheduled for Tuesday, June 26th at 7:30 PM at Giardini's garden on the corner of Smith and 2nd Street. Please try and come and spread the word to others that might be interested! If you would like some flyers to give out, let me know.

Thank you to Andrea, Shelly, David, and Jackie for manning our table at the fair on Saturday! Andrea will post an update soon.

Meeting Recap/News

Hi everyone! Here is a recap of the meeting on Sunday, June 4th. Thanks to Andrea for these notes.

Carroll Park Flea Market:
First off, we need more people to sit at the table at the Carroll Park Flea Market on Saturday. I will be out of town. So far we have Andrea there from 9 - 1:30 and Shelley there from 1:30 - 5. We need people to pick times between 9 and 5 to help them out. Please email me if you are able to do this. Thanks to Brownstone Aquarium who has donated some biscuits to our table!

Fundraising Event

Best time would be late Aug/early Sept to allow time to plan. Ideas:
free training demos, pet portrait for a donation, raffle.

Cleanup Day

Lynette offered to head up the Cleanup Committee. She will also call
about picking up free cleaning supplies for Parks Volunteers.

Next meeting

We penciled in Tuesday, June 26 from 7:30 to 8:30 at Giardini's garden
on Smith St and 2nd Place. Might have to change due to Andrea scheduling conflict. Will solidify date/time ASAP. Jackie can help with reproducing flyers.

Officers and Mission Statement

We decided to post on the blog nominations, allowing time for
comments. We will vote at the next meeting. Lynette will bring
some options for a mission statement to vote on.
