Community Outreach Committee Notes, April, 2022

Diane Florschuetz, Committee Chair; Marie Lynch, Board Liaison

At all events, the MMAR tent will be used, and brokers should not remove MMAR sides or table cover to promote their own businesses. Get photo poster of Rotary Wildfire Ready firetruck, so we can support their activities, and place on table at MMAR tent. 

The upcoming events being supported and organized by the committee are:

• Bailey Days - June 25-26th - Volulnteers needed at the booth in two-hour time slots. Diane will create the sign-up genius Mark Steinbach will be in charge of the tent, and Trang Janick and Tessa Larson will assist with coordinating volunteers, food, drink, etc.

• Elevation Celebration,Conifer - July 30-31 - Need volunteer to be in charge. Drawings for prizes are okay, no cost. Diane will create the sign-up genius.

• The Big Chili Cookoff - Septmber 10th - Marie will be the point person if no one else volunteers. Instead of cooking and serving chili (and not entering the contest), it's been suggested that we serve french bread, corn bread, cheese, water, breath mints, tums, etc. to counteract all of the chili people will be eating. Diane will create the sign-up genius.

• Habitat Build Days - Once or twice throughout the year - Diane will follow up to see when the next one is. We will say, "Be prepared to work with work clothes and shoes as needed." 

• Trail Projects - We won't do the Colorado 14ers trail project again, but we will look into the MALT (Mountain Area Land Trust) trail maintenance program.

• Sole for Souls - Haven't done this one before, but this might work for August. Diane will investigate, may be a Coldwell Banker event. 

• Goldilocks & The LIttle Bear - October 27th - Annual fundraiser for local public libraries. Will need new coordinator for silent auction, working with Little Bear, etc.
