Any volunteers to develop the site?

This is one of the reasons I feel we need to get the others who signed on so
long ago more involved. We have so many groups and organizations who want
to help and have lots of money but, they don't know what we are doing. I
talk about PASS all the time, at the SRC, LICB, BCID and elsewhere. I just
did a presentation to the downstate ILCs: some of whom are signed on to the
PASS letter to the Mayor. I explained then that we are all volunteers and
we did not have the time or backing to put up a website but perhaps we
should think about that. If we keep our people informed we would find it
easy to ask for funding in a case like this.
More thoughts,
Mike

Mike,
I'm so glad to hear your thoughts. They're basically begging us. They
already have a draft of the flyer, and it says "presented by Manhattan
Borough President's Disabilities Task Force and Pedestrian for Accessible
and Safe Streets." The problem is that it's all so close at hand. Maybe we
can just do a coffee service for about 150 people, but even still, can we
come up with some fast moola. I'm willing to throw in something, but not to
write the whole check.
Karen

I really feel we should be a cosponsor. Can we find out the minimum
contribution to be involved. I am sure we have the right people to be on a
panel and I am sure together we can dig up some funds.

Hi All,
Scott stringer's Disabilities Taskforce is planning to do a forum on
pedestrian safety, it's to be held on the mourning of May 13 at Lighthouse
International. They have said that they are anxious for PASS to be involved
in the planning. I've been down at the borough Pres's office to talk with
them a bit about planning. They would like someone to be part of a panel,
any volunteers? They would also like us to be co-sponsors, which gets our
name out there, but it also means they would like us to contribute toward
the breakfast. They're expecting 200 people. I already told them there's
no way we could pay for breakfast for 200 people. But it is a pretty good
publicity opportunity for us and our issue.
What's your pleasure? Should we agree to cosponsor?
Please let me know what you think.
Karen
