Hello, all! After a slight delay, the flyers are ready for you to pick up at 4103 Dauphine Dr.

Come on by! Come by tonight! 4103 Dauphine Drive. If one person from every block grabs some to distribute to their neighbors we’ll be done in no time.

If you’re unsure of the process, just roll up the flyer at leave at the front door of the house. If the house look empty/for sale/for rent your can skip it. If you have extras and are willing to bring them back to home base we could pass them out elsewhere.

Please sign the space next to the street you take, and we thank you so much for helping with this process! We couldn’t do it without your help.

Any questions? Please call Ryan at 799.7994.

Hand them out ASAP since the event is fast approaching on SATURDAY the 3rd!

Do you want to help us make this event even more fantastic? Let us know if you can donate supplies of food goods towards a successful event. Food donations should either be of a generic variety (hamburger buns, etc) or some sort of baked good for dessert (i.e. cookies).

ALSO, do you have a business that you want to promote July 4th weekend? We have an easy solution for you – donate a gift card towards something of general interest to help us make the raffle a sucess. In the past our prizes have ranged from the massage gift certificates, restaurant gift cards, to hardware store gift cards supplied by realtors, or even sponsoring the water bottles for the parade. If you are willing to help, we usually turn out 350+ people, last year substantially more than that. Your donation ensures that we broadcast your name over the PA system to all the guests NEW THIS YEAR-we will have a table at the picnic designated for flyers and/or business cards to promote “Businesses in Your Backyard” and spread the word about your local business. Let us know if you would like a space on that table for your flyers/cards.

Can you lend a hand getting the word out about the neighborhood parade and picnic?

We always make sure to get info out to every house in the neighborhood before the weekend of the 4th so that new and old residents know they are welcome to share some neighborhood spirit.

If you can walk a street or two, and just drop off the flyers on the stoop, it is super easy: come to 4103 Dauphine Drive, the flyers are on the porch, already broken out by street. Take flyers for a street, sign up on the clipboard, and deliver in the next several days

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!
