Committee plans outreach: door-to-door flyers, Riverwoods post and message-board signage

Committee members outlined outreach tactics to bring residents to the charrette and public sessions, including door-to-door flyer drops, posting materials at local businesses and using the school's electronic message board.

Volunteers reported canvassing neighborhoods (Arbor Street, Union Street, School Street and downtown businesses) and leaving flyers in windows. Committee members proposed placing a concise message on the school's video board and using event-style parking signs and greeters to direct attendees to the rear/gym entrance.

"I will reach out and report back out," said Jen Wheeler (speaker who self-identified), volunteering to contact the Riverwoods Facebook page to spread word to multiple campuses. Members agreed a QR-code take-away would let people provide follow-up input online if they could not attend in person.

The committee also discussed leaving small handouts and a sign-up sheet at the registration table to capture attendees' contact information for follow-up.
