Bucket Brigade

Today was the first meeting of the Bucket Brigade!
Megan Threlkeld, Rachael Campbell, Mrs. Campbell, and the Pommerening Crew met at the Campbells. We got out the phone book and started calling restaurants that would possibly have 5 gallon buckets to donate, as well as telling each manager about or cook off and inquiring if they would be interested in making a donation for a giveaway or award.


We had pretty good results today, several giveaway donations and a few willing to donate buckets.

We will continue in our quest to call the restaurants of the surrounding area, and will eventually have further dates to go and pick up the buckets. Some requested we pick up the buckets weekly and others every couple weeks.

We are needing to get as many in our group involved to call local businesses to get donations for prizes as well as a silent auction at the Chili Cook-off. We divided the calls into categories and are asking that each family be responsible for one of those areas. Please email me to let me know which your family would like to take. I am happy to help you with a script for the phone calls if you need one, or if you have questions. Categories will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.

Categories:

• Oil change places/sporting-goods stores
• hair and nail salons
• book stores
• clothing stores
• electronic stores
• The Campbells are working on restaurants and recreation
• The Pomms are working on restaurants and Hotels

Please keep praying for our mission!
