​

• Hospitality Tables: Hand out brochures, sign up new members, and answer questions about the Trail. We have a table at seasonal festivals and community events and celebrations.

​

• Brochure Distribution: Develop and update a list of businesses (contact person, address and phone number) in your area that should have Trail brochures; check with businesses to see when they need more; deliver more brochures when businesses run out.

​

• Community Activities: Let us know what is happening in your community. If you know of any up-coming events that might interest our Trail users, please e-mail or call us. Alert us to chances in your community to publicize the Trail, educate people, and recruit more members and volunteers.

​
