Official Stream Team Date April 11th

[ollie]

Hello to all who are watching this thread and to those of you who have joined our team. Our first litter pick-up is now official. The date is set for APRIL 11th at noon. That is on a Saturday and hopefully mosty can make it on that day. If the weather is looking bad I more than likely will move back the date to the next weekend. Hopefully though the weather will cooperate. I have made several contacts and the ball is rolling pretty fast right now. It's more like a snowball effect than anything. I have been so overwhelmed by most everyone's generosity and willingness to help that I am beside myself. We have the flyfishing group M.A.K.O. behind our efforts with a donation and possibly some them to help out with the litter pick-up. The city of Neosho will provide the pavillion (thanks to Scott Swope) to us to use down by the ballfields and will make sure the bigger dumpsters throughout the park will be emptied before we start. I have contacted the local paper (Neosho Daily News) and they will run an article for us along with the public service annoucement. I also contacted the local radio station KBTN and they are going to get back with me next week on the PSA they will run for us. Dave at the Hatchery in Neosho is commited to helping our efforts as well. They are donating some hot dogs and their time to help also. Steve Werries from MAKO is also helping out by securing another donor for food and possibly they will be cooking it as well. I don't know that that one will be a for sure deal or not. I have to wait until Monday to find out that one. I still have many businesses to contact before it starts. It's just hard when you have a regular job and kids in school to get everything cooridinated. I would like to see that flyer again re-produced with a few modifications to it. I can't remember at this point who designed it, but none the less please let me know! We need to add some kudos to the MAKO group,the National Fish Hatchery and both news medias as well. Hopefully I will find out about the third possible donor by Monday. If you haven't recieved your packet through the stream team by Monday please let me know so I can call them up and make sure I got your name on the list correctly. It's all starting to fall in place! Almost forgot the start time. It will kick off at noon in the park at the pavillion. Food will be served afterwards.
