We are then under the assumption the caller is working directly with our local schools, Chamber of Commerce or a local organization. When called upon some things to ask may be:

- Where are you calling from? - Are you printing and/or advertising locally? - Do you have permission to use the organizations name/logo? - How will this benefit our local organization? - Are you working with any local media to promote? - Are you offering any scholarships from the revenue? As you are being solicited for funds, please ask appropriate questions to determine if your dollars will benefit local organizations. With everyone’s help, we can keep your dollars right here in Marshfield helping those you want to help most!
