MODEL SCRIPT AND NOTES FOR AUGUST 13TH PICNIC
TELEPHONE CALLS
 
Below is a model telephone script to invite GPSCC members to the August  13th 
picnic at 
Uvas Canyon County Park.  This is an outline for talking  points, but 
remember to be yourself when you leave a voicemail message or talk  to someone.  
 
Please keep track of all responses or non-responses and provide that  
information 
to Warner or Cameron (e.g., wrong number; moved; or volunteers  information). 
This is an experiment to try to contact people who usually  don’t hear from 
us.  *************************************************
