[Summit] Save The Fountain Kickoff Meeting

[Jesse C. Polhemus]

Hello, everybody!

I shared my Save The Fountain materials with the SNA
Board on Monday, and now I'd like to open the project
to everyone.  If you want to help or are just curious,
please come to a kickoff meeting at my house (39
Langham Road) at 3:00 on Sunday, February 3.  If you
can't make it but would still like to help, just send
me an e-mail and I'll fill you in on all the details.
  
A few people from this list have already expressed
interest, and I'm extremely grateful.  Without them
and you, this would be a one-man project, so please
drop by, even if it's just for a few minutes.  We
desperately need volunteers if this is going to work.

One of the easiest ways to volunteer is going
door-to-door for pledges, and we'll talk about that at
the meeting, but I also have a list of action items
that I'll include at the end of this e-mail.  They're
the larger-scale efforts in the days ahead, and
they're extremely important.  Rather than spring them
on you at the meeting, I wanted to let you look at
them now in case one interests you.

If I can answer any questions between now and the
meeting, just give me a call: 450-2082.  Thanks for
your support, everybody!
