Last Friday I had a meeting with President Todd Parnell at Drury. This was exciting to hear the real story of if they were interested in Graydon Springs. He confirmed that they did pursue a partnership with Good Samaritan to be able to use the property as a lab. Good Samaritan said no thank you. Drury then came up with a proposal that involved creating something similar to Heiffer International. Good Samaritan again said no thank you. So, they just kind of dropped the pursuit.
We are now talking to the group that put together this proposal. President Parnell said that he liked our ideas...we just need to be able to buy the property. So, we now get ready for some fun meetings & brainstorming! Any ideas or thoughts, let me know.
Let's get this rollin'! Woohooo!

15 Seconds in an Elevator & More!!!

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!
