Webinar that is worth a quality assurance point. There is a registration fee however. From: Deb Brown [mailto:deb at saveyour.town] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2018 5:20 PM To: Becky McCray Subject: Webinar for SaveYour.Town Info Hello all! Here is your latest benefit as one of our partners: your chance to bring Stories that Sell with your towns and cities, Feb 13 and Feb 20. We all have challenges with telling our story well, whether that's marketing our business or our town as a whole. On the Survey of Rural Challenges, rural people like yours told us these were both in their top 5 challenges in 2015 and 2017. In this lesson, Deb is sharing stories that have an impact. Becky brings in the logic: why stories work, and how to tell when you've got it right. Want to see more details? www.saveyour.town/story This webinar comes in 2 parts: a 30 minute recorded lesson plus a one hour live discussion. The 30 minute lesson on Future of Retail is available to watch anytime after February 13 at 12 noon CST. Your people get a week to watch, then the live Q&A and discussion session will be one week later, February 20 at 12 noon CST. We expect a large turnout of people eager to share stories, ask questions and hear from each other. We will recognize you as a partner or cooperating group at the beginning and end of the Q&A session and also on our website. Below you’ll find the email to forward to your list. You can use it ‘as is’ or if you’d like us to tailor it to your people, just hit reply and let us know. I’ve also attached some graphics you can use in your social media promotions. (All the images are licensed for commercial use, so feel free to share on any channel.) None of these images have the dates on them - if you use them, you'll want to include the dates in your posting - or hand write them on the flyer!

My last day with you at Oklahoma Main Street is tomorrow, Friday, February 2nd. I have accepted a position to become the new Colorado Main Street Architect. I wanted to take a moment to write you to express my gratitude for letting me serve you, share a little more about my move, and make sure we stay connected. I have been blessed to work with each one of you, and nothing can ever replace the sense of community shared in this program. We have lived a lot of life together during the past 6 years that I have been on staff. Whether hard times or bright days, we have been there for each other, and I appreciate every kindness and every conversation. For perspective, my wife and I have been wanting to move to the Denver/Golden area and planned to do so once I became vested in my State pension (April 2019). But, God's timeline looked a little different, and when the former MS Architect in Colorado put in his notice it became crystal clear that that role was where I was supposed to be. Over the past few months, the stars literally aligned to make this move even possible. This transition is bittersweet, and I know it will not be without consequence. Leaving all my many wonderful Oklahoma Main Street relationships, family, and friends are hard, but, I am excited for the opportunity to remain part of our Main Street network and see my family's dream of living in a mountain state realized. I will miss you dearly and appreciate the lessons that I have gleaned from you and the wonderful people in your districts. Let's stay connected. Fortunately, in today's day and age, it is easy to stay connected. While on staff with OMSP, to avoid any conflict of interest, I did not pursue online/social media relationships with active Main Street acquaintances. Now that I will no longer be working for you, I hope to stay connected with you in this way. Here are the best ways to remain connected: Blog: Since Earth Day 2017, I have been posting religiously on my personal blog "Green Heart Town". I write about once per week and engage readers with topics that I bet you would like, too. In a nutshell, a Green Heart Town is a place where we all take part in the active renewal of our homes, neighborhoods, and downtowns from the inside out. I would love nothing more than you subscribing, contributing, and building new conversations together: https://www.lucassustainable.com/blog-green-heart-town/ Instagram is a slice of life: https://www.instagram.com/larrylucasarch/?hl=en LinkedIn is all business: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylucasarch/ Facebook is all personal: https://www.facebook.com/larrylucasarch Twitter I have not the faintest: https://twitter.com/LarryLucasArch Of course, if you are ever in the Denver Metro, specifically the Lakewood/Golden area, please let me know you are coming.

Being a part of this incredible program and working with the best people in Oklahoma has added more delight & purpose to my life than I could have ever imagined when I began over 6 years ago. I am a little sad to leave the land of my upbringing where - thanks to you - I feel at home anywhere. But, the places we called our Oklahoma Main Streets have strengthened my heart. The places and more importantly the people in them will forever be part of me. Thank you for adding meaning to my life, making your communities stronger today, and for working to leave a legacy for the next generation. Yours truly, Larry Larry B.

Nominate your Program Director for Program Director of the Year. Here are the rules: 1. Program Director had to be director during the whole 2017 year. 2. The BOARD PRESIDENT must be the one who nominates the Program Director in order to be considered. This is the current Board President. 3. The nomination form must be submitted back by either mail, or preferably e-mail by close of business February 26th. If the e-mail comes from the Board President's e-mail, I will accept that as a entry. 4. BOARD PRESIDENTS!!! Use the attached form that says Program_Director_Year_Form.docx. Program Directors!!! You are able to vote for 3 of your PEERS for Program Director of the Year. Here are the rules: 1. Vote for your favorite to 3rd favorite. The one voted on the "1" line will receive more points than the "3" line. 2. You are not able to vote for yourself. If you do, it will not count. 3. If you try to do something "cutesy" and vote for everyone or have multiple people on the same line, they will not be considered. 4. The nomination form must be submitted back by either mail, or preferably e-mail by close of business February 26th. 5. PROGRAM DIRECTORS!!! Use the attached form that says Program_Director_Year_Peer_Form.docx I know the due date is on a Monday. This gives the Program Director a chance to beg their President to nominate them.
