DowntownMatters!
kicks off Friday for Labor Day Weekend
Main Street Greenville...
GREENVILLE, OH – Main Street Greenville has announced a new annual
giving campaign initiative called downtownmatters! Our Story. Our
Place. Our Future. The downtownmatters! Initiative will kick-off Labor
Day weekend at the downtown district’s First Friday and Farmers’ Market
events, Friday-September 2nd and Saturday-September 3rd respectively.
According to Amber Schmerge, Executive Director of Main Street
Greenville, the events were the prime venues for launching the drive.
“Labor Day weekend traditionally carries a mind-set of closing out the
summer months, its back to school and thoughts move toward fall and
winter holiday planning. They turn their attention back home, with
local experiences and community needs given a higher priority and
focus. Incorporating the launch into First Friday and Farmers’ Market
activities -two very active social venues - became the idea time. We’re
pumped!”
The downtownmatters! Initiative is Main Street Greenville’s sole
funding drive and volunteerism solicitation vehicle for the
organization. The annual drive consists of four Mini-Campaigns
scheduled throughout the upcoming year, in coordination with existing
downtown events hosted in partnership with various downtown and
community based business supporters. Each mini-campaign carries a
different theme to coincide with its specific downtown event and donor
incentive.
A fundamental goal of the initiative is to bring a focus to all
individuals and respective segments that play a critical role in
creating a downtown that matters, the underlining service and impact
Main Street Greenville works to achieve. Acting together; individual
community members, businesses, organizations and government parties can
become the key investors of a sustaining and impactful Downtown
Greenville that continues to build the standard of living and quality
of life we want to reflect and enjoy...to the end of downtownmatters!
Since it is Our Stories. Our Place. Our Future.
