Idenfication
of Yes Voters
- Voter
Registration
— Margie Vaughn
Margie is getting a current updated voter registration list
from the 3 counties. We will need 30 people from the three communities
to make telephone calls with a script to identify our "yes"
voters. We need to get volunteers to commit now. The calling
will be done the first two weeks of January or later until we
are done. Each volunteer will have approximately 50 names to
call. The night before and the day of the election, the callers
will be calling to remind the yes voters to vote. If you are
interested in doing this job or know of a friend or relative
who would be interested, please let me know.
- Voter
Registrars
— Nancy Gibson
We need to get parents and/or teachers in each building to get
training as a registrar in each county. Need 6 trained people
per building to set up tables at school events to register folks.
The Supt and principals will also go through the training so
that they can register people on a walk-in basis. This can be
done as soon as we get the training. I will contact the clerks
to see what is involved and how to go about it. If you would
like to help with this let me know.

Poll Watchers — Malinda
We will need 27 people to sit at the polls the day of the election
to mark off the names of the voters. There are 9 precincts --
figure 3 per precinct to work the day. They will give us the
names of yes voters who have not voted on that day. We will
give them a reminder call or ask if they need a ride to the
polls.
Neigborhood
Coffees — Tori
-
We are organizing a series of coffees in individual homes during
the months of January, February and March. We plan to have 3-4
of these a week. We would like to ask the host or hostess to
invite 10 to 15 friends, neighbors and family to discuss the
referendum. Teams of two folks will faciliatate the conversation.
(might be bd member and committee member, faculty member and
committee member, supt and committee member) We would also like
to use some of our more articulate high school students to help
with this too. We need 40 volunteers to commit now to host the
coffees and volunteers to help faciliate the conversations.
If you would like to do either of these things, please let us
know.
- We
will need volunteers to bake approximately 80 dozen cookies
for the coffees.
Letters
To The Editor
We
need two kinds of volunteers for this activity.
- Five
individuals to develop a letter to the editor that someone could
use as a model.
-
40 individuals who will write letters to the editor during the
months of January, February and March. Of special importance
will be the last two weeks of the campaign.
Distribute
Literature and Signs
We
need 20 volunteers to help distribute literature and signs during
the first two weeks of March. This would be going door to door
to pass out the literature. Students could help with this activity.
Community
Rally
We
would like to sponsor at least one community rally right before
the election. This would involve students, teachers, parents and
community members who are in favor of the referendum. A candlelight
walk to the square as a symbolic gesture of support is being discussed.
Superintendent
and Committee Member Coffees
Dr.
Gibson will be meeting with business and community members on
an informal basis over a cup of coffee at the local cafes for
a short conversation regarding why we need the referendum. She
will be doing 3-4 of these a week beginning in October and going
right to the wire in March. She hopes to take a board member,
committee member or community member with me to help with these
conversations.
