Here at It’s My Park Day HQ (aka the Austin Parks Foundation office) we’re working away on a number of different It’s My Park Day projects, but we wanted to remind you of a few important items:
1) Project Registration is Open. We now have nine projects with a total of 780 Volunteer opportunities. Our goal is 60-70 projects with 3,000 volunteers needed. So, if you’ve led a project before, it’s time to register. If not, but you’re interested, please plan on attending a Feb 5 information meeting for first time Project leaders.
2) If you’re interested in being a project leader, but have no specific project in mind, let us know at apf@austinparks.org. We’ll find you a spot!
3) Our Sponsors. We love them and you should to. As of today, we like to thank our presenting sponsor, Wheatsville Food Co-op.
We’d like to thank our major sponsors CTK | Community TecKnowledge, Jackson Walker LLP and Texas Gas Service.
We’d like to thank all of our other sponsors – MFI Foundation, Backwoods, BMC Software, URS, Hill Country Outdoors, Enviromedia Social Marketing, Austin Simply Fit, Texas Rowing Center, Advanced Organic Products, Ivy Block, Technu, Clif Bar, and REI.
We are welcoming sponsors through Feb 4th, a sponsorship of $1,000 and above gets your logo on the back of 3,400 volunteer T-shirts.
4) And how about that yard sign? Pretty cool, eh? We’re grateful to Enviromedia Social Marketing for their design of the t-shirt and associated graphics, including the yard sign.
