Front Yards In Bloom 2024

Subject: Front Yards in Bloom - Call for Volunteers this month!
Good afternoon,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Claire, and I am the Program Coordinator of the Front Yards in Bloom (FYiB) program. As we celebrate our 25th anniversary season, we are thrilled to reflect on the program’s many years of fostering community pride.
We are excited to be collaborating with leagues throughout the city to support our volunteer operations. If your league is already involved—thank you! Your support is invaluable.
Why We Need Your Help:
Volunteerism, celebration and creativity are essential elements that our communities need right now, and they have always been at the heart of what FYiB stands for. We are asking for your support to gather volunteers for the program. With thousands of sites throughout the city needing nomination packages delivered, there's truly no such thing as ‘too many volunteers’ for Front Yards in Bloom. The more hands, the merrier!
How You Can Help:
We need volunteers by the end of June! Here’s how your league can assist:
· Website: Post a volunteer call-out
· Social Media: Share our volunteer opportunities
· Community Boards/Newsletters: Include our request in your communications
· Share any other ways you can think of!
In everything you share, please include a link to the registration page! Register to volunteer >
Here's a caption to accompany your posts:
Volunteer with the 25th Season of Front Yards in Bloom!
Registration is now open to volunteer with Front Yards in Bloom. This is a short term commitment, where you will help deliver nomination packages and celebrate the hard work of our community!
Message for New Leagues:
If you represent new communities, volunteering and nominating with FYiB can help build foundational connections as your neighborhoods and league establish. This is a fantastic way to bring together those who are putting down roots and to celebrate those who are making a home.
Get in Touch:
For more information or to discuss further, do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
Thank you for your support. We are looking forward to seeing all the effort and creativity of your communities this season!
Warm regards,
Claire

Subject: Advertising Help Needed for Volunteer Weed Pull Events
Dear Woodvale Community League,
We are reaching out on behalf of the Invasive Plant Outreach Program to request your assistance in promoting our upcoming Volunteer Weed Pull events to the Woodvale communities. These weed pulls aim to stop the spread of invasive species through awareness, education and action while helping to bring members of the community together over a shared cause. We believe these volunteer opportunities could be aligned with the interests of your community members and the events would benefit from your support. We kindly ask for: the inclusion of our upcoming events in your newsletter and/or the placement of our poster on your website or physical notice board. The events near your community league will be happening at Mill Creek Ravine on June 15th and at Tawa Park on July 12th.
Thank you for considering our request.
Best Regards,
Amy Smith (she/her)

Affordable tennis programs for kids near your league
Hello! My name is Tamara Salajic and I am the Marketing Coordinator for the Edmonton Junior Tennis Society. We touched base earlier about an ad we ran with your league in February. Again, thank you so much for doing that, we really appreciated it! Just for a recap: If you are unfamiliar with the organization, EJTS is a tennis non-profit in Edmonton and the surrounding area which offers affordable tennis lessons for kids ages 4-17 and adults! I was wondering if it would be possible to run an ad with your community league again. We are now advertising our affordable spring classes and there is a location near your league. The write-up could be: "Spring Registration for tennis programs at the Edmonton Junior Tennis Society are still open (EJTS)! EJTS is a tennis non-profit which offers affordable tennis programming, and expert coaching to kids ages 4-17 and adults (18+)! Junior and Adult programming has room for more participants. Adult programs run Thursday-Saturday evenings at the Saville and Kinsmen Sports Centres, and junior programs run Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday afternoons and evenings at various locations. The Meadows Rec Centre near you has spots available for kids ages U5-10+! Please feel free to message us should you have any questions. For more information, or to register, please visit www.edmontonjuniortennis.com." I have a poster as well with more information that could be posted alongside the caption. Let me know if you are interested in running another ad with us! If there is more to be talked about, feel free to shoot me an email back and we can discuss further. If you are looking for a different type of media (example: instagram post), I can create that as well for you. Thank you and have a great day!
