02/03/10 Greenwich Residents Are Invited To Volunteer / Support Tom Foley for Governor

Dear Greenwich Roundup,

We are looking for people who would be willing to volunteer to support Tom’s campaign.

There are currently three (3) major volunteer opportunities that we have at either our main Stamford HQ or our West Hartford Field Office. These three programs are the most important things that volunteers can do to contribute to a successful convention and campaign. We will provide full training and instructions for all tasks associated with these opportunities:

Make phone calls to key grassroots activists to help us identify issues and encourage them to support Tom.

· Timeframe: Ongoing

· Hours: Evenings are ideal.

Database work: includes helping with tagging issues/support into our database and organizing various lists in our voter file (training provided) and Microsoft Excel.

· Timeframe: Ongoing in conjunction with the phone calls and mailers.

· Hours: Anytime but regular business hours are ideal. This type of work must be done from one of our offices.

Help with our in-house mail production

· Timeframe: Ongoing in smaller quantities with significant projects happening several times a month.

· Hours: Anytime. This type of work must be done from one of our offices.

Note: Other activities as needed on a case by case basis. Closer to Summer the range of volunteer opportunities will increase. The extra opportunities will include helping to set up precinct walks, volunteering for precinct/neighborhood walks, calling likely primary voters, helping with various chase mail programs, assisting with events, volunteer recruitment, distributing yard signs, etc.

If you’d prefer to discuss over the phone I can be reached on my cell phone at: 203/994-4814.

We will continue to update you as we move forward with our efforts.

Thank you,

Schuyler Merritt
Regional Field Representative
