BUSINESS SPONSOR, HELP??

Dear Local Business Owner / Manager,

The Londonderry Old Home Day Committee is finalizing plans for its 106th Old Home Day Celebration (8/17 to 8/21/05) and has officially kicked off its fund-raising campaign. Some highlights of this traditional old-fashioned event consist of seniors night, live entertainment & music, 5k Road Race, a spectacular fireworks display and a gigantic parade. In addition, local non-profit organizations benefit by increasing community awareness and fundraising through sponsoring food booths, games and activities.

The celebration attracts over 5,000 people annually. It continues to receive tremendous support from local business community. Business sponsorship is a successful way of gaining exposure for your product or services. Most importantly, business sponsorship demonstrates your commitment to preserving our reputation of still being a small rural agricultural New England community.

There are many different ways in which your business can get involved. You could sponsor a float in the parade, purchase booth space, donate free products and services or provide a cash donation. If you need a sponsorship registration form (contact me) and a list describing different sponsor categories (attached) call me. If your business is interested in becoming a sponsor than please complete a registration form (call me) and submit it as soon as possible. The committee will publicly recognize all sponsors on the Town’s local access television station, website, promotional material, event site signage, parade banners and local media.

If you have any questions or require additional information then please feel free to contact me anytime at (603) 425-6997 or email me at, baldasaro@adelphia.net. On behalf of the Londonderry Old Home day Committee, I thank you for your serious consideration and would like to extend a personal invitation to you and your staff to attend this unique celebration.

Sincerely,

Alfred P. Baldasaro
Finance Chairman
Old Home Day Committee
