Grocery Stores
Always introduce yourself to the store manager. Let the manager know you will only ask customers as they leave the store. As folks enter a store, simply greet them with a smile and say hello. Ask folks as they leave if they would like to sign. If you ask folks as they enter and leave the store, you will most likely ask the same person twice to sign and they will not be happy about that. Also. by asking only as they leave, those who oppose our efforts will be less likely to complain once inside the store. Be extremely polite, dress professionally (neat and tidy appearance is mandatory) and carry the packet of information with you provided when you were retained to do this work.
Cheney Stadium on game days
Below, find old flyers and photos from our petition collecting efforts.
We had a wonderful day of collecting signatures at the Jr. Daffodil Parade. Please join us at one of our next events, or call Donna to volunteer with other campaign needs, like making phone calls to those who have signed the petition and indicate they want to help further. So, if you have time to do something like that, give Donna a jingle.
