Sept 18th meeting

What was discussed at Tractors for Trenton meeting, was officers, and positions. Which is on this page. Collection sites, I will let everyone know where they are once there. Getting big boxes to collect items, Angie Lett Montgomery and Missy K Solomon Schultheis, are looking into this, we needed these like last week, lol, I would like to get these asap, we thought about dropping them by the school for kids to decorate. Flyers were passed out.
Needs were dicusssed
Flyers are always a need, if anyone is willing to print some colored flyers this would be wonderful!!!
Wish lists have been created at amazon, Walmart, and Usborne books, they have many ideas of donations we are seeking.
We are going to come up with an application for families to apply for organization, this would be the kids that that we are giving too.
We talked about getting other organizations to maybe helping us with collections, or making items for us, example maybe toddler size blankets, bracelets, any kind of kid friendly craft item. Also, about kids helping make tags for gifts.
We talked about having information booths at the school fall festivals, also about asking each PTO if they would be willing to make a basket up for Tractors for Trenton at their silent auctions, and take the money to buy items for us.
Homecoming parade, we are wanting to walk in the parade and have kids ride their tractors, gators, or bikes or us pull some in wagons, and pass out flyers to people. Missy said she could get a banner and Brittany Harbin said she could get a truck to drive, if any kids got tired we could put them in the back of the truck.
Lori Loveless is talking to FFA about maybe helping. Also, Subway has already donated some tractors, and she is going to see about have a collection box there and closer to Christmas displaying a tree with our needs on it, maybe paper tractors on it with needs that we need.
We talked about anyone having connections with newspapers, radio stations, about maybe running strories on this, to get our name out there.
We have people checking into Memorial hospital connections newsletter about doing a story on me, and attaching Tractors for Trenton flyers. If any business has an email, that would like to attach flyers to tell employees about us that would be great.
I talked about once we get incorporated about getting swim lessons established somewhere for kids, maybe this spring. Our first focus is Christmas.
That basically sums it up, I again want to thank everyone who came last night and for all of the wonderful ideas they offered up. Also, if you are interested in the parade, please let me know. Most of all I want to continue to thank God for leading me in this, and for always having Jesus there to life me up when needed, I needed Him yesterday afternoon and He was there, He is always there for me!!!
God Bless you all and love to each of you!
