Kudos go out to our ten Bucket Brigade team members (plus Rosie the dog) for being friendly faces at the 2010 Battle Road event at Minute Man National Historical Park today! They braved the chilly weather and intermittent drizzle to talk with visitors, hand out membership information, collect donations and reward donors with stickers!

Thank you to Adrienne Beaver for taking our photo!

I’m thrilled to report that the Bucket Brigade raised just over $600 in donations, plus we received two new memberships at the event. In addition, the bucket brigade team members handed out over 400 stickers and nearly that many membership discount cards. That’s a lot more people who are now familiar with the Friends and if you were one of the many visitors that helped the Friends today, thank you!

It was wonderful to connect with so many visitors to the park, many of whom were local and very enthusiastic despite the inclement weather. The Friends website (www.friendsofminuteman.org/br2010) will feature the Battle Road 2010 discount membership promotion through next weekend and we look forward to welcoming many new Friends to our community!
