BLESSING OF ANIMALS  – August 4, 2025

IMPORTANT TO DO NOW

1.      Blessing of Animals September 20th  with Pastor – Music & Worship

a.     EXPECT to make multiple visits and/or calls to reach the manager.

Leaving a message is much less effective. -what I do on the 2nd or 3rd call is say “I am hard to reach so I will keep trying. But if you have a moment, please give me a try.”

Visits are much more effective but calls can work.

                                              i.     From their perspective we are asking a busy person to do us a favor. That’s not true and I explain how this is an opportunity for the community to know more about them.

                                            ii.     When we do reach them, we invite them to display and ask them for a couple donations for the free drawings.

                                          iii.     I say we want to list them on the promotional material so please let us know ASAP

Green – coming and/or donating a prize

Red – not coming or donating a prize
