gyork Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Consider promoting this event by printing the attached flyer, and posting @ your local outdoor sporting goods store, or the like (?ywca, ymca, fitness club). 2022 NTSKW Flyer.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Snyder Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I dropped one at EMS in Concord but they didn't seem to have an appropriate place to post it. I emailed it to my friends at Outdoor New England in Franklin NH who were enthusiastic about promoting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcotton Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Thanks for the flyer, Gary. I sent it to our library that has a weekly email blast on “Things to do in and around town” and they’ll put it in the next posting. I also sent it to all staff at my work and several clinicians are enthusiastic about it and plan to attend. There is a minor typo in the flyer …anyway to correct it? Thanks, Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyork Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Many corporate policies nowadays restrict posting such events. I struck out @ BBLeans and Dicks's in Concord, NH, but both locations agreed to post in employee lounges, where there ?might be aspiring paddlers!
