March+Food+Drive


 * Neighbor 2 Neighbor **


 * March Food Drive **
 * __Finalized__ __Date:__ March 21, 2009**


 * __Current Assignments:__ **
 * //Brian//**//-//will set up the tent at 9:30 AM (He will bring water as well)...Are we going to use the tent which we purchased last year? ** Y/N **

//**Brian**-//will bring the small table that we used for leaf raking event

//**Anthony**-// I will contact City Hall to have the event put on the calendar and on the City Marquee. I will also contact the service department to have both the chairs and the collection bins ready. Last year they were placed just inside the main doors for easy accessibility. -**__//This has been completed.//__** **__//RG will place both the bins and the chairs directly inside of city hall the day before.//__**

//**Volunteer Needed for Signage and decoration:**// Brian has suggested that we construct some sort of signage to hopefully attract more donations. People cannot always see the sign on the marquee while driving by. Any ideas? I know that there is that sign shop in Lyndhurst right down the road from City Hall. Perhaps we should buy a banner for our food drives as it is a regular occurrence. What do you all think? I think that I will send a letter to that sign shop asking for a reduced price or a donation. //**Anthony will contact sign shop in Lyndhurst.--- __I have not completed this yet. How much do we have in our budget to purchase a sign? Or should we just make one this time?__ **//

//**Judy:**// She is going to get the names of the families in need from our local community.- This has been taken care of. We will be taking the collected food donations to the Church of St. Clare. ** //__I talked to K. McC on Monday, March 9th....although my cell phone died during our call. They are very interested in our collected food. We will either take it over at the conclusion of the drive on Saturday or the following Monday. I can take it over at either time...so I am not too worried about this issue. I will call him back today.__// **


 * Dorothy:** will contact the Sun Messenger to advertise the event. I think that Dorothy also volunteered to make some fliers. **//__ Who can we distribute these fliers to? __//**


 * Volunteer Needed:** We need boxes to place the collected food in when the drive is over. Can we round up some medium sized boxes? Not too big though. **__// We still need some boxes to use for the collected food. //__**


 * Anthony:** I will sort the collected food into categories and place them into boxes at the end of the food drive. I will also count how many pounds of food that we collected. I think that this is helpful for us to know for future drives. We can start setting goals. When we find out the drop off location of the food, I will be more than willing to also drop it off.

//There should only be 2-3 people there per time slot. Last year there were way too many volunteers. I do not think that we will need more than 6 volunteers from Brush/Memorial for this event. What does everyone else think?// **__// We still need at least 1-2 more volunteers for each time slot. I will send an email out to the City Council Members today. I would welcome about 4-6 students from Brush or Memorial....but anymore that that is just silly for this passive activity. //__**
