So You Hate Making Phone Calls....

Graycliff Volunteers –  It is Erie County budget time...can you please give us 2-3 minutes of time?  If you hate making phone calls, just send an email.

 It is super easy. Here's what to do:

FIRST: Find your legislator--look right here:  Find My Erie County Legislator
SECOND: Call or find your legislator's email there, and two or three others, if you can spare the extra 2-3 minutes. Legislative Chair John Mills and Legislator Lynne Dixon have received many calls, and are very supportive.  So please call or email others...they need to hear from you!
THIRD: If you are calling, Say, "I am (YOUR NAME) and I am calling to ask you to support an increase in funding for Graycliff Conservancy to $75,000." Say that Graycliff is an important part of our cultural tourism economy and should have its fair share of County funding. 

--OR--

Third: Send an email!  Here's something to write, or change it as you'd like.

Dear Legislator NAME

I write to ask you to support an increase in funding for Graycliff Conservancy to $75,000. Graycliff is an important part of our cultural tourism economy and an architectural masterpiece that the Conservancy is restoring and preserving for Western New Yorkers both now and for generations to come.

It should have its fair share of County funding, which will allow it advance preservation while completing restoration.

I ask that you consider an increase that would assist in this effort.

Thank you very much.  

Thank you,
YOUR NAME
street address
City, state. Zip



They Vote This Coming Tuesday, December 2nd...and offices are open only Monday...so time is of the essence!

LAST: Let us know on in the comments below that you called.

Numbers matter!  they will tack the number of phone calls and emails they get on this.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
