Just so you know that the St. Marys EarthKeepers are keeping their word,
below is a short list of what we have going on in the next month for
recycling:
November 14 kick-off at St. Marys Elementary School--7:00 p.m.
Posters will be printed and distributed to 200 businesses in the
next
week to promote this event. Also, we will have radio, tv, and newspaper
coverage inviting the public. The evening's format will include
education,
free giveaways, entertainment by area children, presentation to City
Council
members and Proclamation designating November 14 as "St. Marys Recycles"
Day. (November 15 is the official "America Recycles" day.) A poster
contest
will also be announced that evening. Also, attendees will be invited
to sign
pledge cards indicating their willingness to "fill the bin" each week.
Everyone who signs the pledge will receive a badge that says, "I'm
doing my
part."
Major media campaign:
The first billboard will be posted this week promoting curbside
recycling.
Then after the kick-off, we will have radio, tv, and newspaper--
spots, ads,
and PSAs urging resident participation when recycling begins. We will
have
another poster distributed (after the kick-off) to hundreds of
locations,
and also will produce free bookmarks to be given out at local
businesses.
Our Speakers Bureau has already begun with two committed engagements
to get
the word out to the community. And, of course, St. Marys Magazine will
promote recycling in a big way in our January issue. (By the way, please
mark your calendar for January 19--the next magazine gala which will
benefit
Humane Society this time).
I'm sure there's something I'm leaving out, but just know that we're
working
hard to make sure this program is successful. I've attached a few things
that show what we'll be doing including a press release, poster
design, and
radio scripts.
Hope you all will make it to the November 14th event.
