Event Description

Hey Everyone, as some of you know, I am the Fresno community organizer for Engage 360.  We're a community outreach organization that promotes energy conservation and efficiency.  I have a need for some more volunteers this weekend, and I'd love to have some support from the Green Fresno community!

 

Our first door-to-door canvass is taking place this Saturday, July 30th, and we need all hands on deck.  Green Fresno is the online community where people who are committed to green-living come together online--but can we also walk the walk (literally)?  Join your fellow green-minded volunteers this Saturday from 10am - 2pm and let's work together to make a real difference in our community!

 

Here are the details:

Date: Saturday, July 30th

Location: Sierra Bicentennial Park, Clovis (84 N. Sunnyside Ave.)

Time: Arrive at 9:45 AM for a brief training, meet & greet, and then we'll go door to door from 10 - 12 and from 12 - 2pm.

 

I will have water and snacks available, as well as all the materials you'll need.  We'll simply be going door to door talking with folks about ways they can conserve energy and save money.  We'll also be giving away free packets of cold water detergent as an incentive for people to start saving energy right away.  It should be a fun and very successful event.  If you'd like to volunteer but aren't physically able to walk for a couple hours at a time, I could also use someone to just hang out at the table in the park for a few hours and watch our stuff/help anyone who comes by late.  That way I can get out on the doors too!

 

Please let me know if you can make it by contacting me at brendan.mcphillips@engage360.com or at 559-697-4219 or on my cell phone at 951-970-3268.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing many smiling faces from Green Fresno!

Hello Everyone!

 

I just finished tallying the data from today's canvass event.  We knocked over 100 doors and collected a large number of commitments as well!  Overall it was a great success for our first shot at canvassing in the Fresno area.  Thank you to those who participated!

 

Also, I want to add that multiple people contacted me asking if this was still going on because they didn't see anyone respond to it on Green Fresno, or leave comments...  Green Fresno is a great resource, so let's put it to use.  Don't be shy about commenting on people's posts, accepting event invitations, and starting discussions on here.  Social networking only works when you're actually social!

 

I hope to see all of our great volunteers at our next canvass a week from today, and hopefully some more of you who were lurking from the depths of cyberspace!
