April 11 PC conference call notes

April 11
Participants: Jill Armentrout, Algeria Morris-Sowah, Kelly Beougher

Discussion on phone calls to home visitation families:
Share our message of PC and use some of the "sales pitch" document to gather interest, show how they could get involved in the coalition.
Jill will adapt this form as a draft to share with agencies and provide to PC for a script to use in phone calls.
Offer to families who are interested a one-on-one introduction to the Parent Coalition and a parent to talk to about services available, activities, etc.
Lead up to inviting these new parents to a Parent Cafe this summer or September.
Start with a basic form for home visitors to give to families interested in calls: include contact info, best time and way to contact and give some background on this project and the PC mission.
We project we could identify 5-8 members who would be willing to do calls and could be matched with up to five families. We need to present this to the home visitation agencies so we start with a list of about 25 families who would like to learn more. Home educators would could start with the focus group families and a fe more.
Jill also will get a draft of the script for members to use in calls.


Next call is April 19 at 11 a.m.
