There are two ways to be
a part of EcoMom Alliance: 1. Join Now to receive monthly updates, information,
tips, deals, and inspiration on healthy and sustainable living. 2.
Become an EcoMom Community Leader and Host an EcoMom
Party. This is an easy way to connect with moms in your
neighborhood and share empowering information in a manner as old as
time: moms gettin' together to hang out, talk, and support one
another.
HERE'S HOW TO GET STARTED and HOST
AN EcoMom® Party:
- Find A
Venue. This can be your home,
a local restaurant, yoga studio,community recreation center, or
favorite coffee shop. Note: Venue space should be donated and free
of charge for you. We can provide you with a 501.c.3 Non-Profit
Organization Request and/or Thank You Letter.
- Pick A Date. Please let
us know the date of your event so we can best support you.
- Set an Agenda.
There are
many themes to choose from. View theme ideas. Pick something that your guests will
find relevant and of interest. If this is your first EcoMom Party,
we suggest starting with an overview of the EcoMom Challenge, 10
areas in which moms can take first steps toward healthier living.
You may also choose to delve deeper into one of the themes of the
EcoMom Challenge, or contact us with an idea of your own. You know
what your community would respond to best.You can lead the
discussion, Kimberly can do an online presentation for you, or we
can help you find a locally based, featured guest to invite.
- Create A Guest
List. Invite your community,
friends, family, neighbors,co-workers, church members. It is often
helpful to integrate an EcoMom Alliance theme into an already
existing group activity such as a book club, play group,or moms
group.
- Menu. If
possible, provide guests with some organic food and drink.
Oftentimes, local farmers and/or grocers will donate food and
beverages for your event in exchange for a gracious thank you in
front of your guests, or a tax deduction. Local farmers and dairy
owners often give great presentations that can become the theme of
your event.
- Promote Your
Event. Send out online invitations for smaller
events. For larger gatherings, put up fliers, send out online posts
to local mom’s groups, and alert local newspaper calendars
listings.
- Ask For Help. EcoMom
Alliance will provide informational fact sheets, helpful tip
sheets, a guest sign in sheet, invitation template, sample donation
request letters, sample press release, sample thank you letter, and
logos for your promotional needs. Just tell us what you need.
- Donations. EcoMom Alliance is
a registered 501.c.3 non-profit organization. Checks should be made
payable to EcoMom Alliance. Continuing donations help us grow
outreach educational programming.
