If you only have 15 seconds in an elevator with someone, what do you tell them about what we are trying to accomplish?
[elevator doors open & GSOL supporter enters]
"What floor are you going to?"
"3 Please"
"What have you been up to lately?"
"My friends & I are a non-profit interest group looking to purchase, protect and promote the historic Graydon Springs Resort in Polk County, MO. We want this 220 acre plot of land to be a resource for education, families and healthy living for future generations of Ozarks families."
"Wow! That's amazing! What can I do to help?"
*DING* "Oh, this is my floor, but I will email/call/text/send you a postcard/skywrite you with more information...oh & we need donations!"
[end scene]
Becky, has done a wonderful job word-smithing this statement. Please feel free to use it as needed - that means tell everyone you know!
We have a lot of meetings getting lined up with possible organizations to partner with GSOL & to find funders & friends (see my next blog)! Lot's of people are asking what they can do...get the word out! Please let me know if you have questions of what to say, who to say it to or what to do when people say they would like to help. We are in the "Make New Friends" stage and of course we want to "keep the old". Now, you can't get that song out of your head, which means you need to go & talk to people!
Talk to you soon!
