Week of April 7, 2008

Hello and Welcome to our new members!

I am getting questions about how people can help in this effort. Below is an immediate breakdown and what you can do right now.

Tell as many people as you know about our website, and that we exist and get them on board! We still need to get our numbers up to show that enough people do care about CFCP and its importance in the Pgh community.

Print out of our flyer on the website www.bringbackcfcp.com (click the archive button on the left) AND hang it up in your neighborhood, at work, at your kid's school, at any local businesses willing to put it up.

WE need to start planning the demonstration! We need YOU to make signs!!

Some suggestions for signs:

Bring Back the Center for Creative Play (make website visible www.bringbackcfcp.com)

Kids AND parents Love CFCP!

We need support AND leadership. This effort will not work without dedication on everyone's part. Please email bringbackcfcp@yahoo.com - If you would like more specific information, or on how you can take on
a leadership role.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
