Up Date....

Things are moving right along....Meeting with the editor went great, the artticle should be coming out this week. Speaking at city council went wonderful. Everyone seemed to be very supportive. Sandy did a great job with radio Disney and her interview should be airing some time during window fall prevention week and we should have a link from http://www.stopat4.com/. Koin 6 has us on their agenda for Tuesday the 5th. They are coming to Molalla to flim our fire fighters passing out brochures and clings to people in the community, the Hardware store in town who stocks the window stops(being the first retail store in Oregon to do so) and the Mayor of Molalla signing a proclamation to support our campaign and challenge every town in Oregon to follow Molalla's example. This will take place at the Rotary meeting on the 5th at our public library. The Rotary club of Molalla has been wonderful and I am so thankful for their time and service. Sandy and I are doing a radio interview with Handyman Bob on April 2nd. I can't believe how far we have come since the beginning of all of this and I can't wait to see how far we go.

This week....

We are gearing up for window fall prevention week. This week I am meeting with the Molalla pioneer editor and she is writing an article on what the town of Molalla has done to support this fight and also what we as a campaign have accomplished.
Wednesday, Sandy and I with Bob's support are speaking to the city council in Molalla in hopes to get them all on board. Mayor Clarke (Molalla Mayor) has been wonderful and he wants to help anyway he can. We hope to have the town of Molalla be the explain of what we want all towns and cities in Oregon to follow.
Thursday, Sandy will be doing an interview with Radio Disney talking about window fall prevention week.
Wonderful things are happening....Keep up the good work! Parker is proud :)

A good day for our Campaign!!

Today was a good day for our campaign. We had our monthly meeting in Molalla at the fire station and the Mayor of Molalla, Mike Clarke was able to come. He showed great interest in our campaign and we shared how we want Molalla to be the example of what we want all towns and cities to do. I am looking forward to meeting with some of his staff to iron out details for window fall prevention week (April 3rd-9th).

After our meeting I headed down town to the MAC club to meet Sandy, Jan and Adrienne. Sandy and I were guest speakers for IPM ( income property management) Company. We share the CBS video and than I was able to share a little bit about what I hope to gain from this campaign and speaking out. Sandy than went over in more detail about the risks and our goals as a campaign. We had many people ask questions and want to know more and are interested in helping. A few people told me that are heading to the Safety store as soon as they can to buy product.

It's amazing the flood of support from people. This is how we are going to stop window falls getting out there and talking to people. Any chance we get we have to take it. Meeting by meeting. Town by town. City by city. State by state.  We will do this!!

Chamber of Commerce at Mercer Windows

Sandy and I attend Chamber of Commerce at Mercer windows early this morning. We had never been to one before. We were able to set up a table with some information that we passed out. There were 115 people representing all different businesses thoughout the city of Beaverton.
We had the honor of meeting the Mayor of Beaverton and plan to meet with him to see what the city of Beaverton can do. We met some wonderful people that shared their concern for window falls and lend their support. We made some great contacts and hope that they can help us get the word out. Special thanks to Mike for inviting us. Go Team!!
