Girl Scout Troop #10435 Bronze Ceremony
During the fall of 2016 and winter of 2017, the members of Raymond's
Girl Scout Troop #10435 worked on a leadership project which earned
each Scout a Bronze Award. The project included learning about
voting registration, civic participation, and the value of voting by
interviewing Town staff, VIP members, and a State Representative.
With that foundation, the Troop created a video, C'mon Raymond
Let's Go Voting which was broadcast on RCTV in time to encourage
attendance at Deliberative sessions and March voting. Subsequently,
they held a ceremony to award Certificates of Appreciation to VIP
participants and to receive their Bronze awards.

Hello!
Please help us spread the word about Raymond VIP by forwarding this
e-mail
or printing it out for your friends and neighbors. We are a small group
of
citizens who've taken on an extraordinary task. We provide every Raymond
household with a voting guide to local elections every March.
Our town has no print newspaper. Our town and school voting guides are
limited by law as to what they can include. Few voters have time to
watch
every government meeting on channels 22 and 13. The ballot is brief
with
no room for depth.
Raymond VIP fills the gap. For four years our guide has provided the
freedom of choice that comes with complete information on both sides of
issues. Our guide does not endorse candidates or take sides. We believe
government works best if every citizen has the facts and votes.
We need your time and we need your financial support. Please act
today.
If you can do research, interview, and write, join Raymond VIP and
participate in our upcoming training. We need reporters to gather
information, readers to test for clarity, and editorial committee
members
to make sure the guide is factual and not biased. You will learn a lot,
make your own voting decisions more confidently, and know you are making
a
difference for other voters.
If you believe that elections are about more than yard signs, sound
bites
and someone else's recommendation, please make a tax-deductible
donation,
today. Raymond VIP is a nonprofit corporation and a charitable trust. We
are an IRS 501(c)(3) organization
Printing and mailing the guide to all Raymond households and PO boxes
costs about $1,800 every year. We also maintain a website, a post office
box and have administrative expenses like state fees. We have no paid
staff.
Please support the Raymond Voter Information Project by mailing your
contribution and/or membership dues today to Raymond VIP, Box 813,
Raymond
NH 03077. ($20/$10 for additional family members/students). You
