“Sign” Up To Promote Admissions Open Houses

Are you a proud Moorestown Friends family? Let your neighbors know! The Marketing and Communications office is asking for volunteers to post 2’ x 3’ signs on front lawns to promote upcoming Admissions Open Houses on October 26 and November 15. Peer schools like Germantown Friends and Abington Friends have successfully implemented a yard sign program in recent years. Office staff will arrange for you to receive your yard sign and will also arrange to collect them after November 15. To volunteer to display an Open House sign, please contact Mike Schlotterbeck, Director of Marketing and Communications: mschlotterbeck@mfriends.org or 856-914-4434.
