As you are probably aware, the July 4th event has enjoyed great success for Milwood over the last several years. We’d like to continue that success, and we need your help. Since Milwood is a 100% volunteer organization, and your dues are low and voluntary, we really need the community to pitch in as fuel costs force everyone to look at their standard way of doing things.
So what do we need from you?
Number One Need
If you or your organzation have a way to donate food, provide a dish, or give money that would go directly to food, that would defray our number one cost for this event. Food costs for 4th of July can run upwards to 700 dollars, which we have provided for free. We are committed to continuing that tradition, but we need you to help us keep that tradition.
Co Number One Need
people to help walk flyers around the neighborhood informing our 1700 neighbors about the event. It costs us hundreds of dollars to send what is in effect a door to door mailing. If we can establish block captains who can get information out to their neighbors it would save us all tremendous amounts of money, for this event and into the future.
Additional needs:
– volunteers to help with the day of the event
– any sunshades that can be brought the day of the event
– any musicians appropriate for a neighborhood event want to help us kick off a new tradition?
Contact Ryan Lanier at 799-7994 to coordinate if you can help.
