2008 Eco Pass letter

Dear Pine Bluff Neighbors,

As you pick up your 2008 EcoPass decals, please take a moment to plan ahead with me for our 2009 fundraising efforts.

Obviously, our 2008 decals arrived later than desired. This occurred because we were late getting our contract amount to RTD. In order to guarantee that we receive our passes by the end of the calendar year, the full payment of our contract amount must be made to RTD BY THE END OF OCTOBER (the exact date varies depending on the year). For 2008, we were still fundraising in mid-December 2007. In order to make sure that we get our passes on time in the future, please respond promptly to the first EcoPass fundraising request, which will be mailed in September.

Also, I would appreciate any help that you can give to our Neighborhood EcoPass enterprise. Ideally, we would have more of our neighbors involved. Currently, only 24 of the 124 eligible households choose to support our EcoPass program. I think more people would participate if they understood the value, and, in some cases, knew of the existence, of the Pine Bluff EcoPass neighborhood. If you are interested in helping in any way: talking to neighbors, putting together flyers, talking to neighbors, addressing envelopes, talking to neighbors, making signs, talking to neighbors, and/or whatever else you can think of (I’m open to any and all suggestions; and, it’s obvious what I think needs to be done), please let me know.

Also, I set up an email address and a blog site for our neighborhood. This will enable you to ask questions, to offer your suggestions and services, as well as to track the status of our fundraising efforts (starting with our 2009 fundraising drive).

The email address is: PineBluffEcoPass@gmail.com

The blog site is: PineBluffEcoPass.blogspot.com

Thank you for your support of our 2008 EcoPass drive. I look forward to working with you on a successful drive for 2009. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Very truly yours,

Kariane
