Hello,
My name is Whittmin Reese. I am apart of the Charlotte Jaycees and I wanted to reach out to you promote our drive coming up in August. I understand that most newsletters for neighborhoods are quarterly so I wanted to reach out early for assistance. Also, if you are able to promote in your neighborhood meetings that would be great as well. Please see below the information for our event:

Please help us promote this event in your upcoming newsletter and/or community meeting.
