11. How We Contacted The Community
Called/Emailed/Visited Local Businesses with the
following proposal:
To whom it concerns,
We are a group of students from Clemson University. In our class we
are collaborating with the Pickens County Vision 2025 team on a project.
Our groups focus is improving tourism and recreation opportunities in
Pickens County. Our group is proposing to the Pickens County vision team
to start an annual county triathlon/festival. The triathlon would offer an
event for youth, beginners and immediate participants. For ones that are
not competing we plan to promote the local businesses and cultural with
a festival that includes music, food and games.
Our group wants to scan the county and see what organizations
would be interested in being involved in an event like this if it were to
happen. The event is NOT planned it's just a proposal right now. If
your (organization, business, group) does these kind of events or would
be interested in being part of this could you let us know. We are looking for
organizations, groups and businesses that could donate (time, money, buy
a banner, have a stand selling product, etc.), volunteer or actually be a
part of the triathlon/festival.
