Ready, Set, RECRUIT! Under the leadership of David Radcliffe, Meriden takes their goal of 757 Friends of Connecticut's Young Children very seriously and they're already more than 100 strong with Meriden's mayor, school superintendent, state representative, and elementary school principal among their many Friends!
"We got to 43 friends with almost no effort," David Radcliffe, facilitator at Meriden Children First, modestly recounted in July. Since that time, Meriden has more than doubled their number of Friends. Their "efforts" include:
Inviting Ready Rabbit to a "Back to School" event, yielding 107 Friends in just 2 hours!
A recruitment message sent to their email list
Coverage in the People's Press, a community "viewspaper" distributed to more than 20,000 people in Meriden and Wallingford
Placement on the Meriden Chamber of Commerce's website with promised coverage in their newsletter.
And, David says that he has "a handful of the RSG cards in my pocket that I give to people I see."
